Review on ๐Ÿ”’ Durable KAILE Aluminum Anti-Skid Outlasts by Charles Jenkins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The perfect family game!

My family and I live in New Zealand and are currently in the middle of a coronavirus lockdown. We have a travel version of the Rummikub, which we love, but we were constantly frustrated by its small size and the fact that the tiles kept falling out of the racks. We ordered this version, which luckily reached us during self-isolation. The game was well packaged - the parts come in a sturdy carrying case that was bubble wrapped and then placed in the cabbage box. The tote bag is made of aluminum, feels durable and looks stylish! The racks are the perfect size and hold the tiles well - much better than our travel version. (Note here - I read a review that "Bruce" posted last April where he comments on the poor design of the cleats and how the tiles keep falling off. You can see in his photo that the legs are set back - if he wanted to insert a small corner of the legs with the stand, the angle would be different and the tiles wouldn't fall over!) The tiles are my favorite feature of the game - the melamine they're made of gives a nice weight to hold and a rock-like texture that feels better than the plastic commonly found in board games. The numbers on the tiles are recessed, beautifully colored and easy to distinguish. And again a thousand times better to play than the miniature version! Most of the time we are stuck at home and play Rummikub at least once a day. Great family game!
