Okay, so I punish myself with the cryptic clues whereas he prefers the more literal quiz. And he goes straight for the killer-dokus whilst I mosey through the intermediate options. But we both love Rummikub and Rummikub Word is a really interesting twist on the solid gameplay of the original. Players may not make their initial meld and along with that play on groups and runs during the same turn. They can play on runs and groups after the turn of making the initial meld.

The original Rummikub FREE version (not Rummy nor Rummy Cube or Okey) is one of the most popular family games in the world. Play ONLINE with millions of Rummikub players from all around the world and try to win as many points as you can to become the Rummikub Master! If one person never had the required points to make a meld and the game is over, their points are added to the score of each of the other players. The person with the fewest points is the winner.It also feels more relaxed and chilled out than its numeric counterpart. Although, having said that, you can ramp up the challenge by setting a timer per turn, or even theming a game so that only certain words can be played and/or scored. For example- suppose in a game player A wins, player B has a score of 5, player C has a score of 10 and player D a score of 3. Player A will now have a cumulative score of 18, player B will be −5, player C will be −10 and player D will be −3.

During a player's turn, sets of tiles that have already been played may be manipulated to allow more tiles to be played. At the end of the turn, all played tiles must be in valid sets. All tiles in play must be arranged in sets of at least three tiles. The two valid set types are called runs and groups.

With a lawyer and an engineer in the house, words v numbers are often a battle we face. I love writing. My husband loves maths. But, when it comes to puzzles, we both love a good Su-Doku as much as a crossword. Includes 10 supported languages - English, German, French, Dutch, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, Polish, Turkish and Portuguese.Anyone who has dipped a toe into my Zatu Blogs will know that I am a Rummikubber. I love the way the age-old set collection, card game, Rummy, has been switched up into a tile laying game. Because, quite frankly, who doesn’t love tile laying games?! In Rummikub Word, just like its numeric cousin, your objective is to get rid of all your tiles. You do this by making complete words (“melding”) consisting of at least 3 letters or adding your tiles to existing words already on the table (“manipulating”). You don’t have to add tiles just to the ends of existing words – you can break them up and re-jig them and basically insert your tiles wherever you can fit them. Like a very flexible Scrabble (and I mean VERY flexible), you’re using your own letters and your opponents’ letters to make new words for points. But there’s no restrictive grid or high scoring letters to worry about. Each one is worth a point, and you only score the longest word you make anyway. Final Thoughts
