The game is based on the traditional middle-eastern game of Okey. First created in the 1930's and sold in hand produced versions until the late 1970's.
Similar to the Rummy that you play with cards - you try to get rid of all your tiles by forming numbers into runs of 3 tiles or more, or 3 to 4 of a kind. The colors of the numbers on the tiles are like card suits. This game may start rather uneventfully, but when the players start putting more and more tiles in play, the options for your upcoming turns can become more complex, challenging, and exciting (from areyougame.com).
This is an SVG file I designed in Inkscape to use as an alternative to the tiles in Rummikub. There are a few reasons for creating these:
1 - Missing tiles from my Rummikub set.
2 - Practice using the light table I'm building.
3 - Practice creating demo cards for my game.
The file consists of 6 layers. The topmost is the Registration Marks layer which shows where to cut the cards once you've printed them. They can also be used to line up the card fronts and backs. The marks were designed so that when you use a corner rounding punch, the marks go away.
The other 5 layers are the card backs (designed by me...pretty basic) and the 4 sets of numbers in red, black, orange, and blue. The 2 jokers are on the red sheet.
You will need to print 8 of the registration mark + card back...
