Rummikub is a classic board game invented by Ephraim Hertzano. The game is played with numbered pieces in four colors: red, blue, yellow and black. The objective is to get rid of all the pieces in the hand forming valid sets on the table. A valid set is composed of three or more pieces of the same number but of different colors, or a numerical sequence of at least three pieces of the same color. Players can manipulate tiles on the table to create new combinations and add tiles to existing combinations. "Manipulations" let you rearrange existing sets to allow for additional plays. The game continues until a player gets rid of all tiles in his hand. Players add up the value of the tiles they still have in hand, subtracting them from their overall score. The objective is to have the lowest possible score at the end of the rounds.
