Editorial Review:
The Numbers Strategy Game that's never the same! The fast-paced game of tile manipulation that challenges each player's wit against the other. The object of the game is to be the first player to go Rummikub by using all tiles in Runs or Groups and accumulating the highest score. One of the world's most compulsive family games, like all the best it's easy to learn and a challenge to master! An opportunity for parents and older children to bond and improve co-ordination and mathematics skills. You can't beat this game for playability and value for money. I thoroughly recommend it - Managing Director
With rules similar to gin rummy, Rummikub is a classic tile game that's guaranteed to get at least a million kid-hours of use in any family. Players take 14 numbered tiles and try to get rid of them as fast as possible by creating runs (for example, 7-8-9) and sets (7-7-7). The most fun aspect of the game--and the part that's best for creative strategic thinking--is that you can pilfer from and rearrange the efforts of other players in your attempts to part company with more tiles. --Richard Farr

Modern classic There are thousands of new games every year. Most of them disappear without a trace. Some acquire a devoted but small following. Just a few become classics. Rummikub is one these. Invented in Romania in 1940, Rummikub is essentially a tile version of the traditional card game Rummy. It didn't really make it internationally until the 1970s, but by 1980 it had won a string of awards and established itself as a great family game. Basically, it's about creating sets of three or more in a row of tiles... more info
alternative to computer games... I just bought this for 11 year old twin boys who would normally always prefer the computer or video games ...but they think this is really good and are even willing to get ready for bed early so they can play. What more could you ask for?
An excellent family game Rummikub is a great family game, and although there are numbers on the tiles it's not about sums, it's about making and manipulating number sequences. You are trying to get rid of your tiles, but you can only lay them on the table in certain combinations. The twist is that you can borrow tiles from sequences that are already on the table so as the game progresses the possibilities get more and more complicated. The rules are simple but kids under 10 might need a grown-up to help them spot some of the more... more info
Still playing after 16 years I was introduced to this game when I moved to Holland 16 years ago and is still enjoyable. I agree with all the other reviews. It is a great game for the entire family. I introduced my own family and friends to Rummikub and they have even bought their own sets. Whenever we get together it's the first game that gets pulled out.
