Solene competed against 18 other contestants in the tournament at The UKGE at the NEC Birmingham on Friday 3rd June 2022. An annual event, returning for the first time since the pandemic, the UK Rummikub Tournament saw opponents compete in rounds of the family-favorite game where each player must place all the tiles from their rack onto the table as part of a ‘run’ or ‘group’. The aim of the game is to be the first player to successfully lay all of the tiles from their rack and shout ‘Rummikub’. Winner Solene said “I loved every minute of this tournament! I have been playing Rummikub since I was a little girl with my sister and I never ever thought those hours of practice I put in would see me win a competition! This has given me such a great buzz!” John Adams Leisure hosted the tournament, which invited players up and down the UK to compete for the honor of the title, as well as £250 for the winner, £100 for the runner-up, and IDEAL games bundles for all four finalists.

Rummikub: A family classic enters the homes in Chile.

Rummikub is a classic newcomer to the country, suitable for the whole family and that finally arrives in its original version this 2021.

Chrissy Teigen’s Sober New Year’s Eve Was ‘Lit’

January 1st 2021

The model and cookbook author — who has urged fans to read “Quit Like a Woman,” Holly Whitaker’s book on sobriety — spent the evening playing games.

While some were throwing back flutes of champagne to ring in 2021, Chrissy Teigen was playing Rummikub.

The model and cookbook author celebrated New Year’s Eve with her husband, musician John Legend ― as well as celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin and her husband, photographer Mike Rosenthal ― sans alcohol. In an Instagram post Thursday night, Teigen showed off their activity of the evening: apple-peeling (presumably for cinnamon rolls) and Rummikub.

“cinnamon rolling into the new year lol sober new year is l i t,” Teigen wrote in the caption.

Why Rummikub and Kraft Dinner are the perfect recipe for closeness

One of my favorite ways to spend my time with those closest to me, especially during the pandemic, is playing Rummikub, a nostalgic, tile-based game. My late bubbie Lola, taught me as a toddler, and we played it together almost every weekend until she died, at almost 97 years old.

Since then, I’ve continued to play this game with my family, and have introduced it to those who have come into my life along the way.

Bonding over games – especially retro ones, which have made a resurgence during the pandemic – is nothing new, but this game in particular makes for a bonding experience for me for many reasons.

Several weeks ago, our distributor Customer Service in the US, received a lovely message from one of their loyal Rummikub fans describing how the game has really helped get her family through the pandemic. Brenda described how they have named certain moves after various family members, and how her elderly mother Marcelene has devised a way to play solitaire Rummikub because she loves the game so much. As a token of their appreciation, they sent a complementary Large Number Rummikub game to surprise Marcelene, whose aging eyes are starting to have trouble deciphering the numbers on our classic Rummikub tiles.
