Rummikub
''Rummikub'' () is a tile-based game for 2 to 4 players, combining elements of the card game rummy and mahjong. There are 106 tiles in the game, including 104 numbered tiles (valued 1 to 13 in four different colors, two copies of each) and two jokers. Players have 14 or 16 tiles initially and take turns putting down tiles from their racks into sets (groups or runs) of at least three, drawing a tile if they cannot play. In the Sabra version (the most common and popular), the first player to use all their tiles scores a positive score based on the total of the other players' hands, while the losers get negative scores. An important feature of the game is that players can work with the tiles that have already been played.

Ephraim Hertzano
Ephraim Hertzano (1912– September 1987) was a Romanian-born Israeli board game designer. He is the inventor of the board game, Rummikub. Biography Ephraim Hertzano was born in Romania, to a Jewish family. He originally sold toothbrushes and cosmetics. He invented the tile game ''Rummikub'' in the 1940s when card-playing was outlawed under the Communist regime. In the 1940s, after immigrating to British Mandate of Palestine (now Israel) after World War II, the former perfume seller developed the first sets with his family in the backyard of his home in Bat Yam. Over the years, the family licensed it to other countries and Rummikub became Israel's best selling export game. In 1977, it became a best-selling game in the United States. The following year Hertzano published an Official Rummikub Book, which describes three different versions of the game: American, Sabra, and International. The game was first made by Lemada Light Industries Ltd, founded by Hertzano in 1978 and today ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
