Description
Rummikub Experience is the Slovenian edition of the popular game Rummikub, which won the Spiel des Jahres award in 1980. Each player has tiles numbered 1 to 13 in four colours on their rack and tries to lay them down on the table in runs and groups as quickly as possible. The best moment comes when you shuffle the tiles already on the table and suddenly find room for all of yours.
How to play Rummikub
Each player takes 14 tiles. A group is three or four tiles of the same number in different colours, and a run is at least three consecutive numbers in the same colour. For your first play, you must lay down tiles worth at least 30 points in total, and only from your own rack.
After that, you can add to the runs and groups on the table and rearrange them as you like, as long as only valid combinations remain at the end of your turn. If you don’t lay anything down, you draw a tile from the pool. The first player to empty their rack calls out “Rummikub!” and wins the game.
Why you’ll love it
- By breaking up and rebuilding runs on the table, you can lay down several tiles in a single turn.
- The joker can stand in for any tile, but if it’s left on your rack, it costs you 30 points.
- You decide whether to lay your tiles down straight away or hold them back so that the others open up the table first.
- The tiles show only numbers and colours, so even children pick up the rules quickly.
Who is Rummikub Experience for
The game is for two to four players aged 7 and up. The rules are simple, and players enjoy it most with four. Since there is no text on the tiles, it suits all generations, from children to grandparents.
What might you not like?
Which tiles you get is down to luck, and sometimes you have to draw from the pool several turns in a row. The game may therefore not suit those who prefer games without chance.
