Rummikub

If you’re a fan of the card game Rummy and the classic tile game Mah Jong, then you’re sure to appreciate Rummikub – a game which brings together these two in a single, cohesive package. The game is the work of Ephraim Hertzano, a Romanian-born Jew who hand-made sets for his new game in his backyard, and then went door-to-door selling them to his neighbors in Palestine. There are 106 tiles in a Rummikub set, comprising four colors and two special ‘joker’ tiles. Players take turns to place their tiles into sets of three, drawing a new tile if they can’t play. Players who manage to get rid of all their cards score points depending on how many tiles everyone else is still holding. Now, you can play the game online in this digital version.
