Does anyone want to play a game with me?I'm constantly asking people (family members, not random strangers) to play a game. I LOVE playing board games and have loved it ever since I was a child.
Thanks to the Family Review Network, I just had the chance to review a game called Rummino! made by Marina Games.
Designed for ages 8+, it's a fun strategy game based on Rummy but using tiles. The object is to score the most points!
Each player starts with 7 tiles and creates sets and runs by laying them out on the table. Players try to build off the previously placed tiles to maximize points with each turn.
We've never even played a game of Rummy, so I wondered if we'd have a clue what we were doing. It took us a bit to get the hang of it, but once we did, we really had a great time. In fact, we got pretty darn competitive in an I love you but I'm totally going to kick your butt in this game way.
Oh, and a big plus is that the tiles all come in a very nice heavyweight drawstring bag for safe keeping.
Looking for a new game for your family game night?Try Rummino! You can order it here from Marina Games for $19.99.
Thank you to Marina Games for providing me with the game for purposes of this review. My opinions regarding this product are my own, and have not been influenced by receiving the product.

Rummy has been the time filler on many a rainy afternoon of my childhood in England. I can confirm the card game is a good mental workout for any youngster. So this board game looks like a go!

I have never played rummy so I'm not sure if I'd be a bit on the challenged side. I do love board games though.
Just passing by to say hi.
I've never played rummy.Sounds interesting.
Have a happy weekend!

Love rummy and board games. My husband is a real fartbag though. He never wants to play. It's good that it's for 8 and up, then I can play it with the kids.
Is this like when a big hollywood star says that he eats at Burger King! hahaha Just a phone call away!!!!
I LOVE board games. My husband and I used to play Scrabble all the time. Then we had kids and I play a lot of CAndy Land with "I want to play it this way" rules set by a 5 year old.
It's just not the same... :)
This looks like a fun one!
And on another note...how do you get to review all these great things??
Sounds fun.
Josh and I ended our weekly game night because it always ended in an argument, lol!
I even wrote a note in the scrabble box that says something like 'don't ever play this game bc Josh will end being a poor loser'. Lol! Hopefully he'll be mature enough to bring game night back once we have kids. ;)
I love card and board games! The first time I ever played Uno was when I was in Boston, and the game has never even been heard of in England then! But we used to play it all night! It was hard explaining the rules, but then some bright spark said there was a game like that that you could play with ordinary playing cards!
I still have that old pack of Uno cards though!
Thanks for the heads up. We don't play too often, mainly on vacation but always interested in new games.
BOARD GAMES! BOARD GAMES!
I love board games. I just don't have anyone who wants to play them with me.

I am a board game junkie! constantly harrassing my family and friends to play with me. This looks like a good one! Always looking for something new to pick up!
I love board games! My parents used to buy them for us all the time when we were little!
I like board games and my youngest loves them...
Love dominoes so would prob like this game.
How do you get to do all these fun reviews?
Looks like a game even my toddlers would get into. I'll have to check it out.
By the way, you have an award on my blog. Come on by and pick it up whenever you get a chance. Congrats!
very cool. we play games together as a family and new games are always key!!
Sounds like fun. We played a lot of board games when our kids were teenagers and had 'friends' over. Kept their hands busy and off of each-other. So glad I popped in.
As we say here in the Ozark hills and hollers, "ya'll have a wonderfully blessed day!"
This looks like a fun game. I am sad my trip is almost over..
I haven't played Rummy in forever, and this game looks just too awesome!! Great review!!
Oh this sounds fun! I'm always on the lookout for new and entertaining games. I think hubby would enjoy this too. Thanks for the informative review!
That sounds fun!
My hubby and I love to play rummy 500. My father in law tries to get us into other games, but we get frustrated and always go back to rummy.
It does look like a fun one.. i'd be like you and have to figure it all out!
Not familiar with Rummino - but it seemed like you guys had a ball!
Enjoy!
My mom taught all of her grandkids to play rummy with her!
Sounds like fun! I love games to... though, I love card games. My fave was skip-bo.
I would so love this game! I love board games and card games.
Very cool!!! Adam loves "bored" games. LOL
I am stuck in monopoly land way too much. I need some new games.
I'm not a big fan of board games - something to do with my short memory and attention span.
Oh how fun...I bet Princess Nagger would love this!
I remember how I always played board games growing up. Now, with the internet and video games, it seems people don't have the patience for the board games anymore. It's too bad.
I'm a board game lover too. I love that my son is finally able to play games other than Candyland!!! I remember playing rummy before but have forgotten how to since then. And I love games with tiles .. I just like how they feel.
I love board games, that is it you're moving in to the spare room. I'll cook and you'll bring the games!
Looks cool. So totally a game my mom and I would sit and play.
