I posted a really bad selection of Rummikub tiles a couple of years ago and thought I’d add another from last night. If you play Rummikub you know that the numbers 1-3 and 11-13 are a sort of dead zone because they’re harder to play. And having doubles is another hurdle. Put them together and you get a case of what I call “doubles in the dead zone.” This selection is about as bad as it gets, and it was my initial draw of 14 tiles! Ugh!
But there’s a happy ending to my tale of woe. I actually ended up winning this game!
I have no idea what any of that means.

Yeah, you probably wouldn’t if you’ve never played it. It’s a pretty simple game, where you win by being the first person to play all their tiles, which come in four different colours and go from 1-13 (so basically it’s like two decks of cards). High and low numbers are hard to play and doubles (same number, same colour) are hard to play. So this was a lousy draw.

I’m not really a games person. I do like the guess who you are game but that’s about it.

I remember Holmes and Watson played that in Season 3 of Sherlock, so it must be fun.

I think it’s streaming on the World Series of Rummikub channel.
