The Ideal Games range from John Adams has something for everyone. From crazy kid’s action games, fun family games and licensed TV Show based games, through to serious strategy games to get you thinking!
With brilliant simplicity, Rummikub provides hours of enjoyment.
Played with 106 tiles (numbered 1 to 13 in 4 different colours), the object of the game is to be the first player to clear your rack of all tiles and shout "Rummikub".
Lay down sets of "groups" (three or four tiles of the same number but different colour) or "runs" (three or more consecutive numbers of the same colour).
Manipulate tiles already on the table to your advantage! Rearrange or add to existing sets, to use your tiles.
Number RunsIn Rummikub you lay down number ‘runs’ from your rack or add to existing sets of numbers on the table. Number ‘runs’ are sets of at least three numbers, of the same colour, that follow each consecutively – for example 1,2,3,4 in red. | Number GroupsNumber ‘groups’ are tiles of the same number but in different colours. You have to have a minimum of three tiles of the same number but different colour to make a ‘group’. For example, you could add a yellow 5, a red 5 and a blue 5 to make a set. | The JokerThe Joker can represent any number or colour tile, but watch out… if the Joker is still smiling on your rack at the end of the game he’ll cost you 30 points! The joker here represents a black 7, meaning you have a full group of 7s. |
