Rummy World 17+

Great game very addictive

If you love playing rummy... this is the game for you! Very fun, follows all rules, you play against many different ppl all over the world. Many different types of games from classic to one on one.
My only peeve... it won’t allow you to change your profile name once you set it. I login thru Facebook and it still links my old married name from 2011. Wish it would update it or allow a change. But that it... the rest totally positive!

Get rid of the lame run and set numbers on the board

As a fan of this style of game I was really looking forward to playing it. The design was nice, the tiles easy to read and place on the board. Ah, the board! If you have ever played a rummy tile game at home you know you place your runs or sets anywhere on the table. So as I played my first Rummy World game I did exactly that. But then I noticed that other players were actually moving them to line up with other tiles. Not just one player but two of them. This bit annoying and a bit distracting. That’s when I noticed that faintly on the play field were tiny numbers. They seemed to indicate sets and runs. But why? Did I miss a rule that all sets and runs must correspond to these special places on the board? Don’t make me laugh! Since I could actually place them anywhere without penalty then clearly it’s not mandatory. So I continued to place my tiles where I wanted them on the board and still the anal retentives playing kept moving them to these special play spaces! That’s when I quit without less than one roll of my eyes. If you removed those dumb numbers on the board you’d have a pretty good game. But I can’t play any game where people feel they have the right to change my plays.

Thank you for contacting us.
We are happy you love the game.
Regrading what you wrote, when playing online rummy on your device\pc it is more difficult to see the tiles & sets and therefore we have long ago adopted this way of placing the tiles on table. it is not mandatory but most of the players like this way of organization and order, and are used to it.
It should not upset you.. after a few more games you play, I hope you will see the benefits of this placing norm.
it would be great if you give us a 5 stars review.
Have a great PLAY :) The Rummy-World team

I Don’t Get It

I like rummy games but I don’t understand a business model that builds a game and then basically doesn’t want people to play it.
You get coins (18) to play one game a day unless you win. To buy coins is expensive and the model is built to deplete your coins unless you consistently win 80% of your matches. We have a term for people that can win 80% of their matches. They are called robots which anyone can add to the game. The robots are much faster than you and can make infinite moves during the 30 or 60 second clock so they tend to win a lot of the matches.
The squares to move your tiles are very small (on an iPad) which can be frustrating when you are trying to beat said clock.
It’s like the company building this game think they are the only company that has a rummy game on the App Store. Stupid company. Well off to play rummy with my new app I downloaded.

The game is well put together otherwise and does offer a good experience but I want to play more without having to shell out $20 every month. I hope they are making money on this but I am glad it’s not coming from me any longer.
