## Overview

This spin-off game bears only a few similarities to other mainline entries. Players avoid Curse spaces (which function the same as Fate ones), steal from each other with Steal spaces and collect Treasure Cards, each marked with an ancient Egyptian symbol. These are used for betting in various games of chance including the tables that are played at while visiting various Chambers in Khufu's casino, usually involving a roll of the dice or a flip of the coin. If they win a game at a table in a Chamber, they can place one of their four Scarabs there (and they can have subsequent chances to double their wager if they beat it again). Once all four Scarabs have been placed at all four tables, a player must visit the Chamber in which Khufu's Sarcophagus resides and uses the media remote to take on Khufu's Ultimate Challenge. The symbols of three Treasure Cards are shown by both Khufu on-screen and the challenging player, while the symbol dice is rolled to add two more symbols for a complete hand of five. Whoever has the most matching symbols in a hand wins.

Whenever Khufu interrupts the game, while he usually asks whose turn it is next, he will also ask "Who is the mummy?"; whenever he does so, ALL players must reply with "You are the mummy!" or anyone that doesn't will face a penalty. At various points in the DVD, Khufu will interrupt the game to commence an interactive menu activity (which includes moving his Sarcophagus around to whichever Chamber is involved; he usually declares "Mummy on the move!" in these instances) or command his selected servant "Lucky" to rotate the Chambers, potentially changing how players move between them considering that they each have different fixed entry points. If nobody can beat Khufu at his Ultimate Challenge before the forty-five minute timer runs out, Khufu wins and everyone else loses.
