RUMMIKUB RULES
GOAL Remove all the tiles from your rack. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF SETS Group: 3 or 4 tiles of the same number & all different colors Run: 3 or more consecutive numbers in the same color TO BEGIN PLAYING TILES Make a set that adds up to at least 30 points. AFTER YOUR FIRST TURN, THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO PLAY 1. You can make a new set. 2. You can "meld": add tiles to existing sets. IF YOU CAN'T PLAY ANYTHING Draw a tile. THERE ARE FOUR WAYS TO MELD SETS TOGETHER 1. Add one or more tiles to an existing set. 2. Take the 4th tile from a set to use in playing a new set. 3. Add a tile to a set, then use another tile from that set. 4. Split a run by adding at least one tile from your rack. Example: Split a run of 5 tiles into 2 runs of 6 tiles, if you have a duplicate of the middle tile. PLAYING A JOKER A joker can used to stand in for any tile in a set. You can reuse a joker if: You replace it by the exact tile that it is representing, but you then need to reuse the joker immediately.
