Calling all Rummikub fans! Love Rummikub? Think you’d be able to hold your own against your fellow ‘Rummikubbers’ in the Rummikub UK Championship, and go on to represent the UK in the World Championship? You do? Then read on…
Rummikub is a fast paced family game which has been played by adults and children for over 50 years. From humble beginnings, where the inventor Ephraim Hertzano handmade each Rummikub set out of wood, it is now estimated that over 50 million Rummikub games have been sold to date, in 54 countries around the world. The first Rummikub World Championship took place in 1991 and this triennial event sees the winner awarded The Rummikub World Cup. The eventual champion also claims an amazing, once in a lifetime, trip around the World!
