Rummy and Rummikub

Card games of the Rummy family are very popular all over the world. They are played with ordinary playing cards, and sometimes with custom made card decks. In South-Eastern Europe and the Middle East, related games, like the Turkish game of Okey, are traditionally played using wooden tiles with numbers in four different colors.

Today, similar tiles made of plastic are a popular alternative to normal card decks when people play Rummy type games. When the game is played with numbered tiles, it is usually called Tile Rummy or Rummy Tiles. Such plastic tiles are widely available from toy shops and department stores, by trade names like Rummikub or Rummy-O.

Sometimes Rummikub is misspelled as Rummicub, Rummicube, Rummykub, Rummycub, Rummycube, Rummi cub or Rummy cube.

Is Rummi Rummikub software?

Because Rummikub is just the trade name of a particular set of plastic tiles, there isn't really such a thing as "Rummikub software". However, the same games that you play with Rummikub tiles, you can now play on your computer with the Rummi computer game.

With Rummi you can play Rummy type games with numbered tiles, with normal playing cards, or even fantasy elements like Maya pebbles. You can play several different Rummy game variants, and with the built-in game editor you can add your own game types identical to the particular set of rules that came shipped with your box of plastic tiles.

You can learn more about all variations of the rules that have been shipped with Rummikub sets on this independent card game site by John McLeod.
