A classic tile-based game where players strategically place numbered tiles to form sets and runs, aiming to be the first to clear their rack.
Short description/ Goal of the game:
“Rummikub” is a popular tile-based game that combines elements of rummy and mahjong. Players take turns placing numbered tiles from their racks onto the table, forming sets (groups of tiles with the same number in different colors) and runs (consecutive numbers of the same color). The game requires strategic thinking, as players aim to manipulate the tiles on the board to their advantage while also thwarting their opponents’ plans. The player who successfully clears their rack first by forming valid sets and runs wins the round, earning points based on the remaining tiles in opponents’ racks.
