Rummikub

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 a easy, simple and fun game with a fast pace.
Best when played with 4 people.

Friends introduced me to this great game in Petersburg Alaska during the Little Norway Festival. At night we would pull it out and challenge each other to a new fast round of playing. Their rustic cabin became a room full of laughter as we played around the cast iron stove. The more you play it, the better you become. You start to see moves that can be made by moving things around. It keeps the brain sharp. Enjoy.

My family loves playing this game. It's great even for smaller children. We put all the tiles in a big ziploc bag so we don't lose any, makes it easy to transport to friends' houses. I highly recommend it for a good game night at home.

Rummikub is a durable plastic tile game that is fun but also good training for the brain. You can play with just two people or several people. The rules are similar to rummy plus you have to be able to visualize number combinations and color combinations as well as how to play certain tiles to gain points. At first, I didn't think much of the game until I played with a friend who has been playing for years. To watch her rearrange 8,9,10 tiles at a time in order to play her tiles was truly amazing.
The product design is simple, which I like, and easy to setup and put away. The one slight drawback are the colors - the black and blue are hard to tell apart. If you don't have youthful vision make sure you play with good lighting. Not a big problem but it would be nice to have more distinct colors. Overall a very enjoyable game.
