Wrap Your Mummy is a simple, but entertaining card game for up to six players. The mechanics are pretty straighforward: draw a card, play a card. The strategy comes from trying to manage the wrappings of your mummy. Get your Mummy wrapped too soon and you become the target of the other players. Wait too long and the game can come to an abrupt end with your mummy still unfinished. The random element of the vizier's arrival, as represented by four cards shuffled into the deck, forces the player to try and get the most out of each turn of play. If there is a drawback to the game, it is that while it is entertaining to play, the random nature of the vizier and the ability of the other players to disrupt your wrapped mummy make it very difficult to win.
The art and card design are very good, probably the best from Spare Change Games to date.
