About the event
Dave Wertlieb and Louise are introducing a new game at JCO! RUMMIKUB!!
For those who have never played, it’s a tile version of gin rummy. Instead of 4 suits, there are 4 colors, and numbers 1-13 replace aces through kings, The object of the game is to lay out melds of at least 3 tiles: sets of the same number but different colors, or runs of the same color.
