Advantages: logic game. numbers

Disadvantages: Can be quite slow.

A game of logic and number dexterity.

Like many others this is a tile based game however with rummikub you don't just have to lay ties but you can change everyone else's - once you are in (30 points in 3 minimum combinations). Everyone has a different way of playing - some people prefer to chuck down tiles as soon as they can, others hold all their tiles and add more till they can play everything together (always risking not getting rid of any and immensely annoying for all other players stuck and waiting).

The game can take rather a long time (although this is reduce by applying a time limit per turn). The winner is the first person to clear their board.

There are six colours of numbers and they go up from 1 to thirteen (like a pack of cards - not so good for the superstitious), there are also 2 jokers and clearly from the name its a mashed up version of Rummy. For those who like logic games that don't involve words this is a good answer

Summary: Twist the numbers!!!
