Bug fixes and performance improvements

Rummikub brings the beloved board game to your mobile device with official rules and sleek digital play. The objective is to be the first player to place all your tiles by creating 'runs' (consecutive numbers of the same color) or 'groups' (the same number in different colors). You can manipulate the tiles already on the table to create new combinations, making every turn a brain-teasing challenge. Featuring online multiplayer, private matches with friends, and a challenging AI for offline play, Rummikub offers endless hours of strategic gameplay for players of all ages.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

90/100

This is the definitive way to play Rummikub on the go. The interface is clean, and the drag-and-drop mechanics for the tiles feel natural. It captures the tension of the real board game perfectly, especially during the timed turns in multiplayer. Finding a match is quick, and the skill levels of opponents seem well-balanced.

The single-player mode is also quite robust for practice, but the real meat is in the online play. It’s a timeless classic that has been ported to mobile with great care. No fluff, just pure strategy and tile-laying fun.

Tips & Walkthrough

Winning Strategy

Don't be afraid to break up your own sets on the table if it allows you to play more tiles. The key to winning is often waiting for the right moment to 'dump' several tiles at once so your opponents don't have time to react.

Gameplays

Tile Manipulation

Players drag and drop tiles from their rack to the table. You can split, move, and rearrange any tiles currently on the board, provided every set remains valid at the end of your turn.

Q&A

In the standard rules, your first move must total at least 30 points using tiles from your own rack.

When it works it is ideal...however there are issues.

Sun Apr 12 2020 Jrice21

I actually purchased and set up a tablet for my grandmother for the sole purpose of being able to play this game with her grandchildren during this time since we are all socially distancing from her. Had it all set up and working and got one game in before we encountered the same issue that multiple other people in this thread have mentioned about a lack of connectivity. It is sporadic and unpredictable in when it can and can’t connect. While I understand that servers face and incredible load during this time, it is difficult to do remote tech support for someone who has a very specific set of instructions to follow on how to play a game and now feels like they are just simply doing it wrong, when in fact it is a developer issue that I hope can be addressed in the near future. I am understanding of the greater issues at hand in the world and won’t let yet another negative element ruin this quarantine period, but I am greatly disappointed that something I looked forward to greatly improving this time only led to further complicating it. I wish that I had looked further into the fact that this has apparently been an ongoing issues for months and not wasted the time, money, and effort that I did. Just taking the time to share so that perhaps others will take that into consideration.

Loving this game more and more

Sun Jun 09 2024 Grezai

I watched so many adds to collect enough coins to enter the tournaments. Right now I’m at 2,100,000 coins. My first Tournament was like 5,000 coins to enter and I tried to stay on the top 10 won 8 th place and won 80,000 coins I notice instead of getting 100 coins by playing the add I was getting 1, 000. Then went on my second tournament. Entry fee was 50,000 coins so I went for it stayed in the top 10 won 7th place and it gave me 800,000 coins and now by watching adds it’s giving me 10,000 coins per add. Some ads are only 5 seconds, how amazing it’s that. I think it’s better playing tournaments because even though if someone leaves the game and a robot continues and wins …I notice who ever won the second place gets the win. I went for the third tournament too late and I’m not even close to any the top places. But the win it’s now 5 million coins. I’m still watching ads and I’m up to 2.1 million coins. I love tournaments more because you don’t loose all your coins. The only thing I don’t like it’s when players don’t have a move at the beginning of the game and take the whole 30 seconds and do nothing it’s frustrating. Sometimes you get 3 out of the 4 playeras doing the same thing. And it gets boring. I love when all of us players love the tiles fast. It’s more exciting.

I love this game! Except 2 things…

1: There’s not enough time to leave a game before it starts without losing tokens. I don’t like joining games with a 500 token fee! I try to leave as fast as possible, but I still lose tokens often. I see two options: 1. Increase the time to join to allow people enough time to leave once they see the join fee, or 2: give people the option before joining. For example, after clicking Play Now we could have the option of joining a 100 token fee game, a 500 token fee, or whatever other fee levels are available at the moment. 2: Having ALL the tiles removed from the board if even one tile is out of place. Only invalid tiles should be returned. It’s maddening playing a bunch of tiles, trying to place the last tile only for it to not go into place for some reason (the play mechanics aren’t perfect for tile placement), having the timer run out, and then ALL the pieces being returned despite the one tile out of place being from my hand and could easily be returned to my hand while leaving a valid board. 3: This doesn’t affect my enjoyment of the game, but I would like to have more time increments when making a custom game. Increments in 5s, 10s, or even 15s would be preferable to 30s.

Frustrating

I swear there is a Minion playing my game. Unbelievable the glitches in this game; tiles switching all over on their own, you get a tile and POOF, it disappears, you try and move your tiles in succession and nothing, no tiles move, the timer keeps spinning and spinning endlessly, which of course you lose your $$$$. Granted, it’s free, but c’mon, it’s getting to the point I’m going to delete or not recommend. I certainly won’t dare waste my $$$ in the event all the glitches go on in there!!!! In addition, since I installed the game almost 2 years ago, I have never seen the option to “update”. ???????? The only app I’ve not had to update. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m back…just deleted and reinstalled because of numerous glitches. My tiles freeze; can’t play/move them but timer keeps ticking away, I touch any tile and it has to “reconnect”, booted me off the game because it “said” I didn’t make a play in 2 consecutive turns…???????? What’s with that, people don’t make moves consecutively throughout the game, and then BAM they lay tiles out and you lose. Granted, it’s a free app, but it’s offered, I accepted to download it, so who wouldn’t expect it to be functional. Should we be criticized bcuz we wanted to simply install a game that’s available to everyone for simple fun, pleasure!!!???!!! It’s not a world issue that needs immediate attention, but it would be nice to have developers make needed “fixes”. Thanks for the fun when it does work STILL glitches…same…and freezing tiles, can’t make moves!

Easy to cheat, a lot of ads, but great aside from that

UPDATE: UGH!!! The cheating I mentioned in my first review is becoming much more rampant. I’m starting to wonder if these people think that this is how this game is actually supposed to be played?! Whether it’s cheating or people think that’s how it’s played, what’s the fun in that? It’s no fun to play people who save the Wild tiles until the very last round to ensure that they win. This would never happen in an in-person game. It’s become so common now that I no longer wish to play this app. So sad as I really love this game. —————————————————————————————————- Possible solutions - Remind players that that’s not how this is played. Allow players to block players who choose to play this way. Otherwise, I won’t come back. Deleting the app now. Feel free to respond to this review if you make these changes. —————————————————————————————————- I love Rummikub, have been playing the in-person game for years. This game is well done, no issues, except that I’d love an option to opt out of ads, such as paying 3.99 or something. Also, it’s easy to cheat, with no repercussions whatsoever. Twice in a row just now, 2 different players saved their joker tiles for their very last play in order to win. Ugh. In a real life game, they’d totally get called out on that and would not be allowed to win. This is an extremely frustrating part of the game and I don’t know how it can be remedied. Surely there must be a way though?

BELOVED FUN FAMILY GAME DEFILED BY THIS DEVELOPER!!

Thu Feb 10 2022 Pfunkin77

I have been playing Rummikub the actual hands on game in my family for decades, we love it! It is fun makes you think and use strategies but this online game as MANY MANY others have pointed out is anything but fun! I have contacted the developer over 10 times about the app stating “connectivity issues” which will freeze the app, throw you out of a game losing what ever place you were in and now my biggest issue and concern is that when I have purchased coins to play my purchase is processed just fine apple and says the purchase is complete, I hit ok and the app does nothing stating that it is “Processing purchase please be patient” only to have the app shut down and when restarted my purchase is no where on my profile. I understand growing pains with such a popular game but today it happened again; so that makes it twice and my purchase is no where to be found! The customer support for this app by the developer is useless and next to impossible to get any real response from. This first few or 20 times the app stated there was connectivity issues and kicked me out of my game losing my round and coins used to enter it I emailed the developer and got a very stunted and rude reply of “this is what you get when playing an multiplayer virtual game”! I have reported this app and developer to apple and caution anyone to not purchase anything from either the free or paid app until this developer gets their act together!!

Game Cheats!

Thu Jul 22 2021 Awolphyone

So done with this game cheating! Computerized players (and don’t tell me these players making 30 moves per 30 second turn aren’t a computer) should be limited in the number of moves it can make in a turn. The computer shouldn’t be able to make more than an actual human who has to think about what they’re doing can make in a turn. Algorithms put human players at a severe disadvantage. Tiles I am in the process of dropping when the timer goes off end up being tossed back and all my moves undone, but yet other players can lay tiles down after I hear the timer for the end of their turn sound. I’ve lost games over this and it’s not fair play. And don’t try to say it’s a connection issue because it’s happened in multiple places, on different connections and happens to friends who play as well. Special sound for giving someone a Joker should be stopped. It’s no one’s business who has the jokers or when they get them. The current rules do not say when a Joker has to be played by. If they did, the game could automatically prevent that player from making any other moves until they play it, but it doesn’t. Players should not be allowed to arrange melds they don’t play on the make the board pretty. It’s called cheating. If one can’t play on a disorganized board, they should take up another game. You can’t move stuff when playing the table game, so same should go on the computerized version.

When it works it’s great, when it doesn’t, it’s screwed up

This has happened several times now. I will be playing and the timer will get “stuck” on another player’s turn at “0” showing that their turn is over. It will stay there on my screen at “0”, yet on the player’s screen whose turn ended, it will show the timer continuing on to the next player’s turn. However that next player will not be able to play because the timer is still stuck on the previous player’s turn. Neither will the future players have a turn. I didn’t get a turn in the game after that—nor did the players after the one whose timer was “stuck”—cause the timer remained “stuck” on that player’s turn. Because of that, I lost each of those games. It said I forfeited the game since I didn’t take my turn. Which I wasn’t able to because the timer was “stuck”. I also lost connectivity a few times and so the game had to reconnect. Also when I was in a private game with my mother, where her name was supposed to show up, there was a circle swirling round and round. It said I wasn’t connected to Facebook yet I connected to Facebook the first time I got on and did not logout of Facebook. It also would not let me log in or connect in any way to Facebook so that I could play. I deleted the app, got back on a couple hours later and all my stats were there as they had been before I deleted it. Right after I had deleted it they had been showing I was at level 1. My stats are all back to the level where they should be. I’ve only had this app 3 days now and already I’m having problems with it. I love Rummikub online because I can play it with family far away, but if it continues to do this so often it is not worth my time or effort to play it online.
