Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- action selection — There are 'three different action options that you have on your turn: explore, fight, or cooperate'.
- cooperative play — It's a 'full Cooperative game'.
- Dice rolling — Before everybody takes their turn, they 'roll this Dice'.
- Push Your Luck — Waking up mummies involves placing 'hearts on the mummy before it's flipped over', and when full, the mummy is awakened.
- Resource management — Torches are used to light paths and 'if ever you run out of torches you have to use kind of tiles'.
- set collection — Players try to 'place three that are identical' or 'three different of these glyphs' to unlock mechanisms.
- tile placement — The game is 'kind of all about tiles' and players are 'placing these tiles in these various configurations'.

Quotes (from this video)
- you're cat venturers is the way it's worded in this rule book
- it's just really funny to me that you have to essentially charge the battery of the Mummy before you can defeat the mummy
- I just think that is so cool that you can just put this one thing in the game so you don't have all this stuff it's not like so bloated because it's all revolving around this one tile
- it just felt kind of weird to have a whole action a whole action option dedicated to something that you probably won't do ever
- I will say I'm probably never going to choose this with other adults I don't think it's playing two player very often I don't see it's introducing it to our game group
