Rummikub (1977)

“I fear this explanation of play does not illuminate why Rummikub is the greatest family game on earth (after Taboo). For me, it's because as a child it felt like an adult game that I, a smart-enough kid, could master.”

“But the game's universality doesn't make it boring. It still scratches several gaming itches: It requires strategy, it challenges my brain, and perhaps most importantly, it takes me away from my phone and into the world where I can talk to real people and touch real things.”

“If you want a timeless classic that can be enjoyed by gamers of all ages and skill level, then Rummikub could nestle into your board game collection. It is easy to learn but hard to master, which keeps it fresh and easy to come back to.”

“As a racing game of putting down tiles, it's it's very fun. I really enjoyed this. It's like easy mahjong. I enjoyed the feel of the plastic tiles, uh, very simple, uh, and just, uh, fun to, you know, make those make those sets. It's good stuff.”(8:57)

“Unless the game's concept doesn't really appeal to you, I would highly recommend picking up Rummikub.”

“It's really, really enjoyable. I loved playing this. I haven't played it a lot recently, but I'm really excited to pull this out and play again because it is really, really fun, and I enjoy that you can play with just two players.”(1:43)

“Rummikub Six Player Special Edition is perfect for anyone looking to update their original copy of the game or players new to the family. The rules are straightforward and even at smaller player counts, the game continues to shine just as brightly as before thanks to the simple design update to the production of the racks. I love this game!”

“Despite all that this is a game that you know I I would have to hold on to Forever you know it's something that I could play with my mother happily um and it's something that I think a lot of people would enjoy”(7:49)

“The game is simple enough for kids to understand and is strategic enough for adults to enjoy.”

“I'm not gonna call it a great game but I'm gonna call it a very interesting game. I actually really enjoy how it stretched my brain out.”(8:34)

“The game has obvious appeal to fans of traditional card games, but in my opinion, the appeal to board gamers is minimal. Player interaction is low, randomness can be high (especially in the two player game), and the game goes a bit long for what it is.”

“It is a 1.5 star game, but it might be a three-star activity.”(8:08)
