Admit it, there have been some games that you have heard of at least once in your life, and the name only made you wonder what the game was all about. Like Rummy, Kalooki or good old Kick The Can (no, I wasn’t born in the 50s, but I do have a mother). But even though these games sounded strange at first, they were actually a lot of fun and quite addictive. I’m sure you can think of a few more of your time as well. When I first heard about Rummikub, I was very confused about what he was, let alone how to say it. Apparently no one really knows how it’s supposed to be pronounced, everyone has a different pronunciation, who knows what’s correct! Here are some examples of the way different people think it is pronounced:
rummy cube
Rummy-Puppy
Rummy-Coob
Rumm-I-Cube
roomy cube
Other people absolutely insist that the way you say it depends on where you are in the world. So, I guess in this matter, it doesn’t matter how you say it, as long as you’re in the right country when you say it!
The point of Rummikub isn’t the pronunciation, the point is that it’s a game and it’s a game you can play online when you need a break from everyday life, which is always a good thing, huh?
“Rummikub is a tile-based game for two, three or four players. It won the 1980 Spiel des Jahres (German Game of the Year) award and the Spel van het Jaar (Dutch Game of the Year) award in 1983. Also, known as Rummy-O or Rummycube”.
It reminds me of Mahjong, Sudoku and Rummy all mixed up. However, it’s a fun game and I think everyone should give it a try. If you are like me and you like to play online games, here are some sites that you can download and play whenever you want. I haven’t had much success when it comes to finding sites where you can actually play this game, but I’ll still list the ones you can visit to download as well as sites for other information!

Another great information type site is Wikipedia. I go to Wiki for almost any information I need, and searching for Rummikub information is no different!
