Rummikub is, in our family's opinion, a game of gin rummy, revamped, a lot more devious and played with tiles rather than cards. ~~ Rummikub ~~ The simple overall objective of the game is to be the first player to get rid of all your tiles. You play tiles by laying them down in either "runs" or "sets" or by manipulating the entire board to get the right set-up. ~~ What's in the box? ~~ In the box you should find four tile racks, instructions list and: 106 tiles comprising of: 2 lots of numbers 1 - 13 in Black, Blue, Red and Green 2 joker faces With this game it really is that ...  Read the complete review

Rummikub is a game of numbers and strategy that provides great entertainment across the generations. Created by the well known game company Hasbro it is widely available in shops such as WHSmith, Toys R Us and Amazon. The original game will set you back between £15 and £20 depending on where and when you buy it but it is also now available as a travel game and a "compact" game (what the difference is between these I don't know!) for around £20.

I love playing board games with my children, in this electronic age with their computers and games consoles I try to make sure we try and have some family time and play a good board game together. We have all the usual suspects including Monopoly (god knows how many versions!), Cludo, Payday and a range of others.

You see this game can cause normal rational (not that there are many of those in my family!) people to ...  Read the complete review

I was introduced to Rummikub when I went to a "Rummikub Evening" where people had to pay to enter Rummikub contests for charity. I am someone who loves playing games and the interaction that you have with other people when you're playing a game - and Rummikub is undoubtedly a game in which you can socialise in the same way as you might over a game of cards. The game consists of a set of tiles which are numbered from 1 - 13 in a range of 4 colours. Each player starts off by blindly picking 14 tiles and then the object of the game is to be the first player to get rid of all of these tiles. In order to get rid of tiles you have to lay them ...  Read the complete review
