Whether you’re a Rummikub pro or a newcomer eager to learn, everyone is welcome.

Rummikub is a popular tile-based game that combines elements of both rummy and mahjong. It is typically played by 2 to 4 players and involves arranging and rearranging sets of numbered tiles. The game was invented by Ephraim Hertzano in the 1930s and has since become a classic in the world of board games.

Here’s a brief overview of how Rummikub is played:

• Objective: The main goal of Rummikub is to be the first player to eliminate all the tiles from their rack by forming valid sets and runs.
• Setup: The game consists of 106 tiles in four different colors (black, red, blue, and orange) and with numbers ranging from 1 to 13. Each player starts with a rack of 14 tiles.
• Gameplay: Players take turns drawing tiles from the pool and attempting to create sets (groups of three or four tiles with the same number but different colors) and runs (consecutive numbers of the same color). Once a player has created a valid set or run, they can play it on the table.
• Manipulation: Players can also manipulate existing sets on the table, rearranging tiles to create new combinations. However, players must always ensure that all sets on the table remain valid.
• Jokers: Some versions of Rummikub include joker tiles, which can be used as substitutes for any other tile to complete a set.
• End of the Game: The game continues until a player successfully plays all of their tiles, at which point they declare “Rummikub.” The round ends, and players count the points of the tiles left in their opponents’ racks. The winner is the player with the lowest total points.

Rummikub is known for its mix of strategy, skill, and a bit of luck, making it a favorite among players of all ages. The rules can vary slightly depending on the version of the game being played.
