Rummikub large number edition - the original rummy tile game

It's no surprise that Rummikub is so popular it has all the elements that make a great game: It's easy to learn and fast-moving, it's different every time it's played, it combines luck and strategy and it changes quickly so every player has a chance to win until the very end. Players take turns placing numbered tiles in runs (consecutive numbers of the same color, like 2, 3 or 4 in red) and groups (three or more of the same number in different colors, like a red 9, a blue 9 and a black 9), rummy style. It's easy to learn, but packed with strategy the "board" changes all the time as players adjust the tiles on the table. The Joker tiles add to the fun; they can be any color or number. The object is to be the first player to play every tile on your rack. Players keep track of who wins each round the player who wins the most rounds wins this time-tested tile game (there's also a point system for use as a tie-breaker). Rummikub is ideal for people of different ages to play together and it's great for a game night too. When kids play, it reinforces STEM and STEAM concepts such as sequencing, pattern recognition and planning skills. It's got lots of exciting moments, but it's also designed to bring people together, with plenty of opportunities for talking, chatting and sharing with family and friends. This set includes 106 oversized playing tiles with bright oversized numbers, 4 plastic tile-holder racks, a storage pouch and illustrated instructions. For 2 or more players ages 8 and up.
