Players take turns placing numbered tiles in runs (consecutive numbers of the same colour, like 2, 3, 4 in red) and groups (three or more of the same number in different colours, like a red 9, a blue 9, and a black 9), rummy style. It’s easy to learn, but packed with strategy. The “board” changes all the time as players adjust the tiles on the table. The Joker tiles add to the fun; they can be any colour or number. The object is to be the first player to play every tile on your rack. Players keep track of who wins each round–the player who wins the most rounds wins this time-tested tile game (there’s also a point system for use as a tie-breaker).
Rummikub is ideal for people of different ages to play together, and it’s great for a game night too. When kids play, it reinforces STEM and STEAM concepts such as sequencing, pattern recognition, and planning skills. It’s got lots of exciting moments, but it’s also designed to bring people together, with plenty of opportunities for talking, chatting, and sharing with family and friends.
Rummikub 6 Player is similar to the original Rummikub game but with extra tiles for the extra players.
For 2-6 Players, Aged 8+.
