How to Play

Are you ready to get started? Even though it might seem confusing at first, the rules of the game are pretty simple. At the beginning of each round, every player receives 14 tiles. As you can see, each tile has a number and a color. Your mission is simple: create sets and runs of tiles and take them off your board and onto the play area. The first player to clear off their board wins!

How do you match the tiles? To begin with, each group needs to contain at least three tiles. A set consists of tiles with the same number but in different colors. For instance, you can match a red, blue, yellow, and black number 9. However, you can't have two tiles of the same color!

When it comes to forming a run, you need to put together numbers of the same color consecutively. For example, you can place 9, 10, 11, 12 together if all of them are yellow. 

The first rounds of the game are a little special. Your goal is to take the tiles off your board as soon as possible. However, the first move you make on the common playing ground needs to be worth at least 30 points. How do you know how much a tile is worth? Easy, just read the number on the tile. 

There's more you should know!

Now that you know the basics, you can start learning tips and tricks. They'll help you win against experienced opponents! The key to Rummikub is using your opponents' tiles in your favor.

Take a close look at every combination in the shared game area! Can you rearrange the tiles to make a run or set using one or more tiles on your board? You can match them any way you like, as long as all the combinations are valid at the end of your turn. 

Take advantage of jokers as much as you can! There are two such tiles that you can use to replace any number. What is more, if you see one in the shared gaming area, feel free to replace it with an eligible tile and use it yourself. It's a smart move that can surprise your opponents and bring you the edge you need to win. How cool!

As you play, you'll discover plenty of tricks and smart moves. Besides, you'll feel the adrenaline of the competition the more you play.
