A selection of Rummikub tiles and racks Rummikub logo. Rummikub (/ ˈ r ʌ m i k j uː b /, "rummy cube" [1]) 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.
Older rules did not allow melds containing jokers to be manipulated beyond adding tiles to them, while newer rules do allow joker melds to be split and tiles to be removed from them. I have also encountered a group of people that allow the value and colour of a played joker tile to be changed by moving it between melds without requiring it to ...
The two false jokers - the tiles without numbers - are used only to represent the joker tiles. So for example when red 5s are jokers, the false jokers are played as red 5s: for example {red 4, false joker, red 6} is a run, and {black 5, green 5, yellow 5, false joker} is a set.

The basic goal in any form of rummy is to build melds which can be either sets (three or four of a kind of the same rank) or runs (three or more sequential cards of the same suit) and either be first to go out or to amass more points than the opposition.

In a "3" there must be at least two genuine (non-joker) cards, so 4-4-Joker and 7-Joker-7-Joker are OK, but 9-Joker-Joker or Joker-9-Joker are not. Jokers cannot be removed from their set. However, when a joker is used in a "4" it can be moved up, in that set, by the holder of the real card that it represents (see tacking below), provided that ...
