I am an elderly befriender and one of my clients wanted to play this with me. I had never played this game in my life, but this video helped me so much - thank you. I am about to visit the lady in question now and hopefully we'll have our first game together 😁

[@rengrand]

Thank you! This was much easier than reading the directions. My kid was like, oh, okay, I get it now! 👍🏼

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Glad it helped! Thanks for leaving a comment, enjoy the game!

[@pabsgabs]

Thank you! Finally someone who can explain a game clearly. There are so many that don’t make any sense.

[@zoezzz8934]

2020 corona virus quarantine!!!! Here in Los Angeles ! Hopefully in the future someone sees this and we are waaaay past this!!!!!

[@micv9617]

Two months later!! City’s are burning down..🤬

[@anastasiatsaki9754]

Still here and still in quarantine

[@puller975]

Not yet 😣

[@mary_indes2761]

well it's been a year......still in quarentine!

[@user-wu1rd3ge5j]

Congratulations!

[@Hibadell]

fantastic tutorial. I read the instructions and watched the official instructions video and was still confused. Seeing someone play helps sooo much

[@carolyncurtis1707]

Thank you! This video was very helpful. We haven't played this game in many years and this was exactly what we needed! Well done!

[@carmencoburn1869]

Very helpful, I'd rather have games explained than read instructions! :-)

[@MrSteveAlmighty]

Amen, I don’t trust anyone who feels otherwise in this modern world.

[@frederikwijsenbeek456]

Exactly.

[@kimlee2510]

[@sobychacko1]

the instructions made no sense at all, but this did

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Happy to hear it :)

[@EPL762]

This video is explained perfectly. I watched it three years ago when I bought a Rummikub card version to understand it. Today at lunch I played a round with some colleagues; I lost yet I managed to practice for future rounds and focus on strategies. Also, I see that you didn't mention the penalties for illegal plays, two minute limit and the points when winning/losing; yet, it doesn't lose the essence for beginners, medium or advance players.

[@redbeardsbirds3747]

I have family members at my house for a birthday party..bought this game and sadly never got to play it. Now I will introduce this cool game to them all and make it a favorite! This demonstration made it much easier for me to understand..Thank you !

[@WordofAdviceTV]

It's an awesome game! Enjoy :)

[@turntim]

We developed a few house rules which make the game more enjoyable and speeds it up a bit. Rule1, When drawing tiles at the start of a game, any double is returned to the pile, and a different tile is taken. This keeps you from getting bogged down with doubles. Rule 2, The game starts with 20 points, instead of 30. This gets everyone playing right away. Rule 3, The loser is given a joker, and must use it on their initial play. This gets jokers on the table, so anyone can use them later. Enjoy!

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Nice! I like all three rules! We will probably be borrowing them ;) Thank you for sharing!

[@msasoq]

Interesting

[@GrandNoble]

Our version of the starting 30 is you can play less then 30, but you cant start adding to otger ppls groups until youve put your own 30 down lol. So if you do 21 next turn you need 9. This way prevents ppl from having to take cards, if they at least put 3 down.

[@anavelbenavides1117]

I love this game! My family plays this game every time we’re together, Every holiday and any other events!!

[@mi2ocd4u]

Thanks we used to play this a long time ago. Your video was clear and covered anything in a concise fashion. We’re ready to go!

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Glad it was helpful! Have a Happy New Year and enjoy the game!! 👍👍👍

[@d.l.technic5]

A combination of Scrambled, dominoes, Uno, Mahjong and Solitaire.

[@dineshdalpattailor1893]

Thanks so much for explaining. Made it so easier than reading the instructions. Love this game.

[@edvin97ful]

Thank you. I remembered that my family used to own one of these sets, but I never got to actually play the game. I thought it would be a good idea to learn how to play it and maybe I'll find some people to play it with in the future.

[@menotmehi]

This video is so helpful!! I tried watching other videos but I don't understand the instructions they were trying to explain. Thank you so much!!

[@murtuzatohfafarosh]

Best Tutorial Ever!

[@achinnappa]

This game was sitting at the back of my closet, and I had no idea what it was, but now I do! Thank you!

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Enjoy the game! :)

[@m00nxon_pawz]

Thank you! Now I can play the new rummikub game I got for Christmas🙂

[@pandadundee6430]

Wow! Great video! We've had this game sitting in the cupboard for years. Decided to take it camping with is not having any clue as to how to play it. Now the competition is hectic downunder! Thanks for the video! ⛺♟🎲

[@WordofAdviceTV]

That is awesome! Happy to hear the video helped, enjoy the game and the camping trip!

[@stephanieokkay]

Well done! I’m completely new to the game and now I can play and teach my family. Thank you!😀 Actually, I’ll just show them your video.😁

[@Oklahomajewel1]

It's actually more fun with 4 or 5 players

[@AidaJof]

Thank you for the refresher. It has been many years that I have not played this game and your tutorial brought it all back again. Thanks

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Glad I could help with that :) Enjoy the game!

[@zoebest6187]

Thank you. Brought this for lock down round 2 but couldn't understand the rules. Now we can play

[@janettesaunders3924]

Thank you! This was exactly what I needed to know to play with my grandkids!!

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Awesome! Have fun! :)

[@breakable2571]

I know this game was played to illustrate the rules and it does that well, but I need to get this off my chest anyway. The player on the right in his last turn was actually able to win. He should have added his red 1 to the set of three different coloured 1s in the bottom left. Then he should have taken his blue 3 and added it to the set of 3s with the joker in it and thereby dislodge the joker. Then he should have taken the orange 7 from the set of four 7s and placed it next to the orange 4 5 and 6 row. After that he he would have needed to place the joker next to that 7 so that he could then add his orange 9. Having done that he then could have dislodged the orange 4 from that set and taken the black 4 from the black row on the left of the table and added his own blue 4 to form a set of three 4s.Then all he would have needed to do was take one of the red 5s and take the orange 5 and add his own black 5 to form a set of 5s and he would have won.

[@susanfalls7555]

Holy crap!! If I have to figure all that out in order to play this game I might as well go back to Uno!

[@cpetrizzi]

Intuitively obvious!

[@cpetrizzi]

Our family plays Rummikub either daily or every other day and make moves like this or more complicated all the time. Remember though, you have to finish all your moves in 60 seconds or else face the 3 tile penalty!

[@laniec.f.2531]

That 60 second rule mentioned below just burst my bubble...🤷‍♀️🤣.

[@mimi-cm9qw]

this is my favorite game, its so fun and i never get tired of it

[@juliakorotysh1337]

Finally we could start the game with our kids)))

[@edsonlima6412]

Many thanks. Awesome explanation.

[@gregrace6168]

I didn’t know how to play but now I know how to play and I appreciate y’all because y’all help me learn how to play

[@wildbro2119]

2020 this helped a lot, my grandma forgot how to play so played off of the directions (they did not help at all) and when we were playing she was thinking that we were ending to fast so I looked up vids and this helped the most, thank you. now we know how to play.

[@frederikwijsenbeek456]

Yo, i was teaching my kids this game and i showed them this video my kids’ reaction= :O. i was so astonished at the quality of this video. Thnx so much!

[@lauraalatalo6921]

So easily explained, thank you 👍

[@rin3.311]

Thank you! Now I got the rules.

[@RoundheadRecords]

That is really nice but for some, consider the same layout but use natural speed explaining each move one or the other makes. It would help a bunch of people enjoy the game~

[@Alex-zc8nr]

I keep getting argued against this, but I thought this was the rule, can anyone correct or thumbs up?: Your initial meld is ONLY your own tiles and has to be at least 30. And then on your subsequent turn, you can then add/manipulate whatever how you please. Everyone says no, on your SAME INITIAL MELD TURN, after you have played the initial 30 point meld, you can also add/manipulate, etc. which I think is INCORRECT.

[@markangeloflores9180]

The rule on the initial meld of what you think is also correct. But in the actual gameplay I only draw one then pass because its a strategy

[@mateismd]

Thanks for this detailed explanation!

[@emilierioux7210]

Thank you for this tutorial! Very helpful.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

You're welcome! Enjoy the game! :)

[@meredithsmall9054]

So helpful! Way better than instructions. Thanks!

[@superbetyl]

Thank yoh for that! Rummikub will be (hopefully) more fun this way.

[@volkomstone123swik]

I just bought the same one! Reminds me of Gucci colors and the metal legs for the tile racks. Had to have it!

[@dennissiren5410]

very well explained.Thank you

[@Spiderman-dj8xf]

Thank you so much rummikub has been at the back of my cupboard for years and we finally no how to play it

Best video on the subject of Rummikub. Well done!

[@jessicacoyle-gross4291]

Thanks for the video, the instructions had me lost!

[@ishmaria._.1801]

i just learned this last week by one of the residents at my work place, sm fun too play!

[@Jeremy-Jay-WeightLossJourney]

Very very good! We now understand this game and are playing it. Thanks

[@uifabian]

This is really helpful to me! Thanks for creating this video! Now I could play with my 90 yo grandma!

[@JanetSmith900]

I just bought this game today and was so confused reading the instructions. Now I get it and this looks SO fun!! I'm glad I got it and can't wait to play it! Thank you! (I may haha questions. 😉)

[@JanetSmith900]

When the joker is used in a sequence (i.e., 1-12) and represents red 8, for example, if a player splits the sequence to create another one and takes the joker off the end of the split to use in another group or sequence, do they still have to replace the joker with a red 8 tile? In other words, if there was a sequence of 1-12 where the joker represented red 8, a player splits that sequence by taking the 9-12 to get to that joker, can they take the joker off the end, leaving 1-7, and making the joker equal another color tile and number, like blue 12? They would have red 1-7, red 9-12, and the red 8 now becomes blue 12 (e.g., blue 10,11,12)? I think they have to replace the joker with red 8 no matter what. There was a question when we played for the first time. Sorry if my question is confusing. Thanks for reading.

[@mocheng]

Best explanation of the game!

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Thank you! :)

[@Roarke6]

Great tutorial!! I forgot how to play it. Thank you for the refresher course :) *btw...Who would give this video a thumbs down? Doesn’t make any sense.*

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Glad I could provide the refresher! :) It's a fun game, enjoy! The thumbs down are probably from all the people who still can't understand how to play the game..

[@Roarke6]

Word of Advice TV *Haha*

[@ledema03]

Roarke6 thanks for the refresher course,I love this game

[@lindadayton6423]

I was excited about the tutorial because I am teaching a group this coming week how to play. The only part that did not appear correct is the last hand moving the 5's around to use her 2 and 6. There was a joker in the sequence of 5's and she never replaced the joker with a 5 but used it to make 2,3,4,5,6. The way I play you have to replace the joker with the tile number it was representing which in this case was a '5' and she did have one. Unfortunately I won't be using this tutorial...I'm disappointed. I love this game and hope others will too.

[@danm2144]

Some people complain their ice cream is too cold.

Thank you! This was really helpful

Thanks so much the instructions here are super clear! Anybody can understand them.

Nope me and my mom are tryna play but I barely understand it!

[@jflo6830]

Just found a bag full of these at a thrift store. Just to play match with a 5 year old. I'm watching this video to see how it is really played

[@summertime1893]

I just tried to read the rules and got so confused, this video explains it perfectly!

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Happy to hear it helped! :) Have fun!

[@FC-gg2vk]

Great tutorial!

[@annaredd2422]

I just bought this game at a thrift store and look forward to playing, love your video so thank you. I do have a couple questions 1) do you keep score throughout and if so that can get real confusing but the directions state that if the game is over and you still have the joker you lose 30 points. and 2) is it possible that the game may not end in both players using all the tiles so maybe this is where a point system might be needed?

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Well actually, there are a few different ways you can play this game. Just like there is more then one set of rules for the game UNO. The version you see in this video is single game gameplay. You can also play it using points. For example, you would play three games in a row and whoever has the least amount of points would win. Hope that helps! It's a fun game, enjoy!

[@jackbenzaquen9933]

Very good explaining

[@nicoya_beauty]

cool!!! ty for the video!!!

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Thank you for watching and commenting! :)

the messenger sound you had playing was so cruel!! thought I was popular for a second

[@weihongchen1827]

Thanks for telling me now it much easier for me

[@ashishrajarora3899]

Amazing 👌 bro You are one 😍 who explained the best 👍

[@TomioB]

Yea you guys explained this so well! The included written rules had us debating for 20 minutes 🤣🤣. Thanks for saving us!!!

[@07lubby]

Thank you for this!!! The instructions in the box sucks 😂

[@engi6297]

I suggest you guys to play Turkish "101 Okey" which means "101 Rubbikub" actually.There should be tutorials on KZbin. It's a little complex but very very fun to play with friends. It has a little intrigue inside and that makes it funnier.

[@irenabushong6494]

Assume that there is black run from 6-12 on the table. I have two 9 ( blue and red) in my hand, question: May I take the black 9 what divides the run into two 3 tile runs 6,7,8 and 10,11,12 in order to use black 9 for my set of nines ?

[@victorbecerra2721]

very useful thanks

[@yousifamin7110]

Thanks now i understand the game

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Good to hear that! Enjoy! :)

[@LoneWolfTheGamer130]

Thanks ,, It explain the rules and that all I need .. Thanks again

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Enjoy the game! :)

[@BloopBloop78]

I bought a Rummy-O set at a yardsale and never played it because we didnt know the rules. Thank you for your help 🎉 the wife and I now love this game.

[@fernandocg7859]

i like it! i'm going to buy one. thanks

[@WordofAdviceTV]

It's a fun game, enjoy! :)

[@Warriorking.1963]

Agree with everything except right at the end when the narrator says, "Congratulate the winner". Put a hex on them... call them rude names... spit in their coffee (not tea, spoiling the world's greatest drink would be going too far), but congratulate them??? 😮😁

[@jeaniebeeson9577]

Thanks!

[@joanngilbertson7423]

Thank you so much I have a hard time with this game

[@Altazmuth]

The tutorial is greatly appreciated, but, even though I slowed the speed down, the fast moving parts you speeded up made it harder to follow. I have the patience to sit through a normal speed demo.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Sorry about that. Most people don't have that kind of patience so I sped it up..

[@dabi8105]

Excellent video, but I still have a question: what if there are no more tiles in the bunch? We should decide with points remaining from each player? thank you

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Yep, you would just tally up the remaining tiles in each player's hand

[@raniii3087]

FINNAALLYYY I got the rules hahahaha

[@charliemopic470]

Super - thank you.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Welcome 😊

[@charliewecker]

Thank you for this. Seriously. I haven’t played in years so I needed a refresher. The Rummikub channel instructional video is fucking awful. Narrator sounds like he’s trying to sell Doritos in 1995.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

You're welcome! I agree! They have a good video but it is a bit rushed. Enjoy the game!

[@lizrodriguez7560]

Watch your mouth

[@fullalbums5675]

at 5:12 the left player could win, split the red 2345 run to 23 and 45, put the red 3 in front of it from the group of 3s with the joker, then take the red 1 from a group of 1s to make the red 123, the orange 3 from the first group goes to the orange 456 run to make it 3456, that way the joker is free so it goes up to the black 45678 run in front of it as a black 3 and he can add black 2 in front of it, done

[@mainman_raach]

Hiya, can you rearrange tiles already on the board to help you make a set? For example if there was 555 and 2345 on the table, and you needed one of the 5's in the first set could you move the 5 in the second set and add it to the first set so that you could take the relevant coloured 5 to make a brand new set

[@elizabethohlhaut2050]

Rachel Gregoire Yes, as long as there are no duplicate colors in the group of 5’s.

[@GTP_Mars]

Great video, thanks! One question I had is whether the final move in this game should have been allowed... the joker is representing a 5 and hence should it not require a yellow or blue 5 to clear it (since it is part of a group and not a run) before it could then be re-used as a 3 in the new run?

[@GTP_Mars]

Or I guess that the set of 5s is split by adding the red five to the 234 set and the black five is now part of a new set (456), and the joker is now clear...?

[@tarmanda1116]

Atlas Cedar this is my question!!!! I don’t think (according to the Rummikub rules) that play would be allowed. But I guess it doesn’t really matter as long as you’re consistent about it? Bc even with splitting the group of 5, you’re only supposed to get the joker if you put down exactly what the joke represents. Or so the rules say

[@G.HADJOE]

You can free a joker without replacing it with the exact piece

[@user-po2yu4hb7d]

That's cool.

[@vickibuschmann5389]

What I believe I’m seeing is -you can’t draw & play that tile in same action? Love this game

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Yes, what you said is correct :)

[@rebeleazy9221]

It would be helpful to slow the video down as their play for the viewers to learn better. Rather than speeding it up. It’s hard to see their plays especially towards the end.

[@shawnalvira]

Thank you! The included instructions are very incomplete in my opinion. We couldn't tell for sure that the tiles in the middle were community tiles to be used and manipulated by any player, or that you keep score as you go.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Glad I could help understand it better, thank you for watching! Enjoy the game!
