Easy to understand but difficult to master, Rummikub is more than just a game for Sarah Harris Gould, co-founder of Harris Tapper.
There are 106 tiles, numbered one to 13, with two jokers. It’s a four-person game – you can play with two but it tends to work better with four. In our Rummiklub, we have eight players, so two games of four people. You start with 14 tiles and the idea is to get rid of them. You do this by forming sequences of numbers on the board, but you only have one minute to do that each turn. The timer adds a lot to it; you have to think quickly.It’s easy to understand but very difficult to master.
Sarah Harris Gould: “It challenges you every single time. It’s great for memory and strategy. We plan to keep going until we’re old and grey.”After I had kids, I found my female friendships were struggling. We had all had kids around the same time and I felt like I never had time to catch up. I’d heard of Rummikub and had played it once. I was given a set from my in-laws – a beautiful carved set they got from Turkey. So I proposed to friends that we meet once a month to play.
It’s the fact that it brings us together. That’s key for me. It challenges you every single time. And I love that you can just show up. It’s not like a book club, you don’t have to prepare. There’s no homework, there’s no uniform, there’s minimal equipment.Yes! There’s wine, there’s snacks. Whoever is hosting will make sure everyone is well fed.Lauren Sams is the fashion editor, based in Sydney. She writes about lifestyle including the arts, entertainment, fashion and travel.
