Rummikub take home the award after being recognised for entertaining families for generations. 

Rummikub Classic, distributed in the UK by John Adams Leisure, has won the Family Classic Award in the Imagination Gaming Family and Education Game Awards 2019.

The seventh annual international family and education games awards saw panels of educational professionals and family game enthusiasts assess and identify games from around the world that are not only great fun, but crucial in helping to develop key life skills.

Rummikub Classic was recognised as a game that has been entertaining families for generations, suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities while combining learning, fun and education. Rummikub provides hours of amusement. Each game is as different as the combinations of moves you choose to play. The aim of the game to is to be the first player to clear their rack of all their tiles onto the table as part of a ‘run’ or ‘group’ and then shout ‘Rummikub.’

Players must use strategy and sharp moves to outwit their opponents but beware of the Joker – he can fire up the game, but if he is smiling on a player’s rack at the end of the round, they lose 30 points.
