Play continues until a team or player reaches or exceeds the score of 21.

Time: 1:00pm
Rummikub is a tile-based game combining elements of the card game rummy and mahjong. There are 104 numbered tiles in the game valued 1 to 13. Players start with a set number of tiles and take turns putting down groups (7,7,7) or runs (7,8,9) using at least three tiles per turn with a player drawing a tile if they cannot play. Players can build on tiles already put down during the round. Scoring is based on tiles used in the game.
