Abstract

An improved tile-based game of chance and strategy playable by at least two players comprising a gridded RumBle game board, a plurality of square-shaped playable tiles, at least four tile racks which may retain the game tiles during play, and an opaque game tile bag for storing the game tiles. Players may alternate turns placing the game tiles from their hand onto the gridded RumBle game board to complete a set of at least three of the same number of different colors or a run of at least three consecutive numbered game tiles of the same color. Each set or run played by the player must interconnect with another run or set played prior to the player's turn. A round of RumBle game systems may end when one of the players has played every single tile from his or her hand.
