   There is no other table-top game that consumes more of my time than Rummikub. I find it very addicting.
   
   However, your experience may vary depending on the version. I had the version with "easy-grip contour" pieces. After a lot of play, the paint has chipped away to the point that many pieces are unreadable causing me to need to buy a new set. This is not a problem with the editions with engraved pieces.
   
   BUYER BEWARE: I ordered this set from Amazon because it said that it had engraved pieces. The version I received though did not. If you look at all of the pictures for this product, you can see that many different versions are represented. I assure you, they are not all created equal.

   The game is great but the tile holder is for the birds.

   The game is great, a lot of fun and also makes you think. Winning is only about 10% luck and 90% using your brain. However, the plastic stand that hols the tiles is not very good. It cant hold the tiles properly, too easy to tip over and spill all the tiles. Five stars for the game, 1 star for the tile holder.

   Love the game

   My family really enjoys playing this game. The tile colors are difficult to decipher with this particular product. The red and orange are too similar in tone to differentiate. We finally had to take a permanent marker and add a mark to the orange tiles to make it easier to tell the difference. The weight and texture of the tiles is good. The racks are hollow plastic and it is easy to see the number of tiles the other players have. Love the game but not this particular set of tiles.

   Not like the older one

   This is still the same game. But the storage part that the older version had is not in the newer model. :( That is one of the best parts, a game that does not need a box.

   The game is amazing, quality so-so.

   Rummikub is a classic. An excellent game that you should totally own, and that's all I'll say about that.
   
   This particular version is not the best- arrived in a bit banged up condition, and isn't a proper box- it opens in the front the way a cake box would, and is made of rather flimsy cardboard. There are no partitions inside to mark where you put the tiles or tile-holders, and the tile-holders are made of pretty cheap plastic.
   
   The game is a ton of fun though :)

   Numbers wear off.

   This is about our sixth Rummickub game. We love to play it, but we do not love how the numbers wear off so quickly.

   I bought this item for some elderly relatives who play rummy with cards. This toy is perfect for them because they don't have to hold playing cards. The plastic rack holds all their tiles while they play. No more sore or cramped hands.
   
   One draw-back... It came with "3" orange 9s instead of two. There is only "1" orange 8 instead of two. Hopefully, the manufacturer will make up the difference.
