Great Game for the Entire Family, 14 Aug 2003

Rummikub Game is deceptively simple. You start with 14 tiles, and your goal is to meld all your tiles in groups of at least three, either three of a kind (3 fives, for example) or in a run (4, 5, and 6). Just like the card Rummikub Game, right? The twist comes when you start rearranging tiles. As long as you leave at least three tiles together, you can do whatever you want with the tiles already laid down by any person playing the Rummikub Game. Before too long, strategy becomes hard because the person before you is sure to rearrange the tiles you needed in such a way that they are no longer available. Then again, they may lay down the one piece that you needed to win.

I've been playing Rummikub Game with my family for years. It's a blast because it's so completely different every time, and everyone has a chance to win. You might need to help small kids when they first learn how to play, but soon, they will be able to play and hold their own against adults.

I highly recommend this fun game. It'll give you hours of entertainment with family and friends. --Mark Baker

Brilliantly simple, simply brilliant, 4 Oct 2005

My daughter started playing Rummikub Game when she was 6 and a year later she is now learning the finer points of the Rummikub Game. She enjoys it just as much as her grandfather does. A great, non-gimmicky game.
