I learned how to play this game 2 days ago. Immediately ordered 3 of them for my house and 2 other houses. Once you understand this game you realise that it’s more complexed/fun than it looks. Not to say that a child can’t overstand it. ?Once you get down with your 30 points you can manipulate the playing sets that are down in fun/crafty ways. ?As I said to a young person in my ? bubble “This the only place you Can Steal”!This game is for up to 4 players, however, I think 2-3 is better as you run out of “Tiles” very quickly with 4 players if it takes you all a while to get down! There is another version with up to 6 players and more “Tiles” that maybe an interesting investment after a while.

So, turned up nice and quick and in perfect condition.I'll admit this purchase was my girlfriends decision and I was a little perplexed by exactly what she meant when she said I'd love it. I'm not big into maths but love Scrabble and she said it was the same but with numbers?! Anyways, after taking quite some time to get my head around the whole process of starting (it's a bit tricky tbh) I finally got it, loved it and became invincible at it!This is a great game in which you can develop strategies, same as you might in Scrabble and really wipe the floor with your opponents, so long as you keep your head in the game and a close eye on what is being placed on the table (make sure you have a

We'd previously borrowed a Rummikub game where everything was contained within a wooden box. This option is quite a bit cheaper, and nearly all the parts are there to play the game..... The racks that hold the tiles are plastic, and have to built up (no biggy), little bit flimsy, but the game doesn't contain an egg timer. Initially I thought it might be missing from the box, but no, the contents detailed in the instructions didn't mention an egg timer. I know it can be done on a phone timer, but I thought for a game where one of the challenges is to complete your turn within one minute, a simple egg timer ought to be part of the game. Not massive I know, but.........

I had not really heard of Rummikub before, but it is basically a tiled version of what I know as a card game called Gin Rummy. I find it even more fun than that game since you can work on the other players sets as well.Great, although a little harder for two players due to the more limited choices over time, but still a great game for quick thinking and pattern matching. The game would have benefited from a timer of some sort as you need to set a "turn" time limit to put pressure on the players :-)Also needs more space than the card game if you are lazy like us and just spread all the tiles out instead of tediously stacking them up. Good game, well made

Love this game, great for all ages, my 14 year old son and 70 year old Dad both enjoy this game, shame it’s only for 4 players as there are 5 of us but we always get two people to team up and work together, can sometimes take ages to lay your initial meld but once all players are in the game it rapidly changes and you can manipulate the board so much to get all your prices layed, we tend to take a photo on our phone of the game before anyone tries doing a huge change round just incase they cannot do it and we have to move it all back to how it started before their turn ? fun family game

This game is great for children and adults. Some games last 10 minutes and others can go on for much longer. We play the two minute rule when the game goes on a bit to speed things up. My 8 year old daughter enjoys playing it, as does my 12 year old nephew. I bought this game for my nephew when he liked playing it with us. We have the Ideal version as pictured however, for my nephew's gift I actually received the Pressman version which is packaged differently (the box was also bashed a bit). I was a bit worried by this but my sister says the pieces are the same and good quality.

We're recently new Rummikub players, still in the 'learner' stages.We discovered this amazing game at our U3A Group AGM and joined up armed just with curiosity!Now we're really under way, having purchased this boxed game and also one for travelling, which we took on holiday with us.It's a great game, it enjoyable, yet it gets that old grey matter functioning. My husband who has Dylexia usually hides away from anything like this, but he's overridden his fears and is making great progress.Back to our U3A Group on Monday, already to compete as newby's!

I have been playing Rummikub all my life and it is a great game which can be played by all ages and everyone in my family seems to like the game. I have played with different sets made by different companies and this version isn't too bad but it is not as good as the older companies that use to make the game like Tomy which feel like they are made with stronger plastic etc.Having said that I am really pleased with the purchase and I would recommend someone else buying the game as the quality is still good.

A classic board game - shame it can't be made for up to 5 people to play! The instructions could be made clearer as to what you can do with regards to 'manipulation', as they are open to misinterpretation / differing opinions as to what is allowed. I had to purchase 2 of the updated version, as I found that the older style tiles had become marked and people were 'going out of their way to pick the tiles that they wanted' - cheating! A good game of skill and luck, where time seems to fly by.

Bought this game to play while we're all having to stay at home. The rules are quite simple, so it's easy to pick up. Playing involves an eye for patterns of numbers & colours. Games don't take too long, but it does need some concentration on the tiles you're holding & what the other players have already put down. But games don't ever get boring. I imagine anyone, from quite young children up, would enjoy playing Rummikub. And it makes a nice change from sitting in front of a screen!

I absolutely love this game. I bought this for my sister but was really disappointed with the new design of the 'legs' that support the tile tray. My own set has a straight tray not curved (the curve is fine) but the two support legs you have to manoeuvre into two holes. On assembly one of the first retention 'holes' disintegrated. Not impressed, I tried to email with picture, the customer service email address on the instructions to ask for a replacement only to have it bounce back.

Never played Rummikub before but thought it would make a good game for the family. Self assembly plastic stands work well. Plastic playing pieces are well made. So far have only played it with my 13yr old daughter. The start of the first game seemed a bit slow but we very quickly got to grips with the gameplay so that by the time of he second round it was a doddle and then our gameplay got tactical. Great fun, enjoyable & will definitely not be left to collect dust on the shelf.

The game is a replacement for one I left at a friends. Missing it so much I had to buy another. It’s such a great family game.... as easy and light hearted or as fiercely competitive as you want to make itI was impressed at how straightforward it was to order and with the customer service at Argos. Despite an overnight price increase the customer service lady smilingly honoured the cheaper price from the day before when I had placed my order.. I really appreciated that!

Already familiar with the game we bought it for a friend. The reduced price from other places I had seen the game may have been that this version is the ‘Classic’ and therefore basic, no frills; box, tiles, tile holders, instructions. No bag apart from the plastic one you have to rip, to contain tiles in the box. But the game plays fine. It is a like the card game rummy, but played with tiles, as you would scrabble. We played it with people 10 years up and all enjoyed it.

This is an excellent game. I was fascinated when watching some elderly people play this game. It was completely new to me and after watching it been played several times I wanted one of my own. The game had to be learnt from scratch, the rules are easily understood and after some practice which was a lot of fun figuring it out together,we are now enjoying playing this game. We have pledged to meet once a month for the purpose of playing and taking supper together.
