How Rummikub scoring works
End of the game and scoring
The game ends when a player empties their rack and calls 'Rummikub!'.
The game continues after the pool runs out β Play goes on even when there are no tiles left to draw. From then on, though, you must lay down at least 1 tile on your turn, and the game ends the moment a player cannot play a single tile.
- Each loser adds up the numbers left on their rack and takes that many minus points.
- A joker left on a rack counts as 30 points.
- The winner scores plus points equal to the sum of everyone else's minus points, so the scores of one game always add up to 0.
If nobody empties their rack β When the pool is gone and nobody can play, the player with the lowest total left wins that game. Everyone else takes minus points equal to the difference between their total and the winner's, and the winner scores plus points equal to the sum of those minus points.
After all the agreed games, each player adds up their plus and minus points, and the highest total wins.
Editions differ on who finally wins β The Korean edition rules decide it by total score as above. The English rulebook makes the player who won the most games the winner and only looks at points to break a tie. Agree on one before you start.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use tiles from the table to reach the 30-point initial meld?
No. The 30 points must come only from tiles on your own rack. You may manipulate the table starting from the turn after you meld.
Can I use a joker in my initial meld?
Yes. It counts as the number of the tile it stands in for. For example 11, joker, 13 counts the joker as 12, for 36 points.
Can I play a tile the moment I draw it from the pool?
No. Drawing a tile ends your turn, so you can use it from your next turn on.
