How to Make Rummikub Fun and Part of Your Thanksgiving

A game like Rummikub is a fantastic way to make this holiday more exciting! Here’s how to easily incorporate Rummikub into your Thanksgiving feast:

  • How to Set up a Table Game Before the Dinner
  • As guests start to arrive for dinner, place a casual Rummikub game in the living room to keep early arrivals entertained. The Ellen Rummikub Set, known for its elegant design, can act as a stylish centerpiece to your gaming area. Its compact design allows it to fit neatly on any table, ensuring it doesn't consume too much space. This thoughtful addition helps maintain a lively and inviting atmosphere as everyone settles in for the evening.

  • Get the Game Night Spirit Going
  • What could be better than getting together at the table for some lighthearted entertainment after a delectable meal? Arrange a pleasant, inviting playing area with soft furnishings, and a snack bar with Thanksgiving sweets and subtle lighting. Playing Rummikub with family and friends will provide the ideal mood for spending time together.

  • Create Friendly Competition
  • Why not turn Rummikub into a mini-tournament to shake things up? You may divide players into teams or play individually while running score all night long. Give the winners a little Thanksgiving-themed gift, such as pumpkin pies or festive candles, for added enjoyment!

  • Teach the Game to New Players
  • Don't worry if some family members haven't played before; Rummikub is an easy game to pick up. Give a brief explanation of the fundamentals: players use numbered tiles to create sets and runs. The first player to utilize all of their tiles wins. Before starting the actual game, play a few practice rounds to make sure everyone feels at ease.

  • Incorporate Special Thanksgiving House Rules
  • For a unique twist, create “Thanksgiving house rules.” For example, whenever someone completes a set or run, they must share something they’re thankful for, or the person with the highest score at the end must serve dessert. So go ahead, add some fun and laughter to your Thanksgiving gathering!
