Admit it there's been a few games you've heard of at
least once in your life, and the name alone made you wonder what in the
world the game was about. Like Rummy, Kalooki, or the age old Kick The
Can (no I wasn't born in the 50s, but I do have a mom). But even though
these games sounded odd at first, they were actually a lot of fun and
quite addicting. I'm sure you can think of a few more from your time as
well. When I first heard about Rummikub I was very confused as to what
it was, let alone how to say it. Apparently no one really knows how its
supposed to be pronounced, everyone has a different pronunciation, who
knows what's right! Here are a few examples of the way different people
think its pronounced:
Rummy - Cube
Rummy - Cub
Rummy - Coob
Rumm-I-Cube
Roomy-Cube
Other people absolutely insist that the way you
say it depends on your location 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're saying 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 every day life, which is
always a nice thing huh?!?
"Rummikub is a tile-based game for
two, three or four players. It won the 1980 Spiel des Jahres award
(German Game of the Year) and the Spel van het Jaar award (the Dutch
Game of the Year) in 1983. Also, known as Rummy-O or Rummycube."
It
sort of reminds me of Mahjong, Sudoku, and Rummy all mixed together.
Nonetheless, it's a fun game to play and I think everyone should give
it a try! If you're like me, and you enjoy playing games online here
are a few sites which you can download it and play it whenever you want
to! 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 go to
for downloads as well as sites for other info!
