How to Win
Rummy Tiles
The goal of the Rummikub game is similar to the traditional
Rummy.
You have to
meld all your tiles into
sets and
runs. The idea is to be the first to do that. Set of tiles are 3-4 tiles with the same value in different colors. Run of tiles are more than 3 tiles, consecutively.
In each player turn, the
player must
draw new tile from the main
deck pile or from the discards tiles pack. The turn ends when the player
discards another tile, back to the pile.
At the last turn, when you melt all your tiles into sets and runs, remember to discard the last tile. It happens when you meld all your cards but you have no tile left to discard.
This case you will have to destroy on of your sets or runs and start looking for new meld for the remaining tiles.
As mentioned above, each tile acquires the value of the number it shows. In order to lay down your initial meld or melds, you must have total value of tiles, no less than 30 points. Some versions of the game set on 35 minimum; it will be smart to check the software where you play your online Rummikub, before you start, to be sure what's the minimum.
Some other Rummikub versions allow the players to la down any meld set or run and by that to reduce the amount of tiles in the player's hands.
The traditional Rummikub game winning tip is – first meld all your cards, than lay them all down at once.
