Product Description: Rummikub is played with a set of 106 elegant tiles that are as durable as they are easy to handle. Like Rummy, players build melds of run of the same colors - Red 7, Red 8 and Red 9 - or sets of the same numbers - Blue 8, Red 8 and Black 8. If you're looking for a fast action game where the outcome is undecided until the last play and has a never-ending variety of strategies and play situations, you'll love Rummikub! For 2 to 4 players. Game includes: 106 engraved plastic tiles, 4 sturdy two-tier racks, 8 rack holders, and instructions.
Editorial Review: It's hard to find family games that are fun and challenging for both kids and adults, but Rummikub fills the bill on all counts. The rules are simple, the game is varied, and the fun is free for everyone! This version of Rummikub has 106 plastic tiles with numbers in different colors and four dark-blue plastic tile racks to hold the tiles during play. The object is similar to rummy card games, combining your tiles in runs (consecutive numbers in the same color) or sets (groups of the same number). The game rolls along at a fast clip, with wild-card joker tiles adding a bit of luck to the strategy needed to win. Get this game out the next time the power goes off and show the kids some old-fashioned fun. --Marcie Bovetz
A game for young or old Played this game at my cousins and we had a great time with it. It's fast paced and each round plays in about 15 min. So your not locked into a game for a long duration. It is easy to explain how the game is played, and fun to see how you can use your Strategy . I bought it and plan to bring it with me camping this weekend! Great game!
Great game! This is a great game. Family gave me one and we bought another so that more than 4 people could play together. It's a wonderful get-together game.
Rummikub Great fun. Very addicting. My wife and I played it Labor Day weekend for several hours. If you like board games, this is a must have.
Your mileage may vary There is no other table-top game that consumes more of my time than Rummikub. I find it very addicting.
However, your experience may vary depending on the version. I had the version with "easy-grip contour" pieces. After a lot of play, the paint has chipped away to the point that many pieces are unreadable causing me to need to buy a new set. This is not a problem with the editions with engraved pieces.
BUYER BEWARE: I ordered this set from Amazon because it said that it had engraved pieces. The version I received though did not. If you look at all of the pictures for this product, you can see that many different versions are represented. I assure you, they are not all created equal.
It's fun It's a easy, simple and fun game with a fast pace. Best when played with 4 people.
