Two player Rummikub

This evening went playing Rummikub with a friend.

Writing detailed texts about the happenings within game would be somewhat... retarded.

But maybe I could write down some thoughts about the game with only two players.

We played five rounds, and to be honest, the scoring system pretty much sucks with only two players. Also, the nature of the game changes somewhat too, as the board doesn't change all that rapidly.

This leads to plenty of situation, where if the other player has to draw an extra chip, you probably have to do that too.

It's still not bad style of playing, but scoreboard is quite useless.

Rummikub at friends

Yesterday we played a 4-player Rummikub board game at friends place.

It's been quite a many years since I played Rummikub last time. Actually five to six years... Ah well, off with the nostalgia!

As Rummikub is a game of toying around with numbered badges it's rather difficult to write a decent "gaming report" out of it.

We played three rounds. I ended two of them which was enough to make me the overall winner.

But anyway... about the game itself, it's a game that gets better with more players. Four seemed to be real nice number of players as the situation on the board was changing a lot before it was your own turn again.

Also the possibilities in constructing the sets you can almost-but-not-quite grasp and count in your head... Thrilling.
