Description
Two challenging games based on thoughtful strategies and well-played tactics are up for bid: Mummy Rummy (ages 8 to adult) and The Whole Brain Game (ages 11 to adult).
From the dusty tombs of ancient Egypt, Mummy Rummy is a card game unlike any other. Players dig and sift in search of cards that complete pictures of ancient Egyptian treasures. Certain cards with special power can transform the pictures, and antiquities can suddenly jump from one player to another. Excitement builds to the very last turn!
Mummy Rummy was the winner of the 1995 Parents' Choice Award and the 1995 National Parenting Publications Award.
The Whole Brain Game is not about what you think . . . but how you think it. This fast-moving game often reaches hilarity while players respond to easy questions that challenge their normal way of thinking. "Right-brain" activity is stimulated as players generate ideas, use their imagination, and work out patterns and relationships. At the same time, the "left brain" quickly structures responses using language, logic, sequences and detail. Players spontaneously think and shout out responses to questions from eight alternating categories. The outcome is a fun, fast-paced game of "mental" beat-the-clock.
The Whole Brain Game was the 1999 Winner of Best New Game for All Ages and received the Parenting Star for High Potential recommended by the National Association for Gifted Children.
Both games are in excellent condition and have been opened only so pictures could be taken.
