A numbers game!

There are two kinds of sets.

• A group is a set of either three or four tiles of the same number in different colours.
• A run is a set of three or more consecutive numbers, all in the same colour. 

To start, each player takes 14 tiles and places them on their Play rack. The remaining tiles are called the ‘pool’.

Each tile is worth its face value. To start, each player must place tiles on the table in one or more sets that total at least 30 from their hand. There are two jokers which represent the value of the tiles being played. If unable to play, one takes a tile from the pool. Play continues until one player empties all tiles on their rack and calls Rummikub.
