   I found under the Amazon Underground the game Rummikub the other day. I had forgotten how much fun that game is, even with just 2 "people". There is an online form for multiple players but I only use the single-player mode off-line. I'm playing the tablet (fire) and I've only lost 1 game.

   I decided to see if I could find a version of it for the PC that would have somewhat bigger tiles because of the bigger screen.

   I found a few but they were either shareware (didn't look that promising to boot), had a red "WOT" symbol, gave a 404 error, or did not work for Windows 7.

   I found one at Microsoft store for Windows 8 - 10 but it turned out to be an app, not a true game, was ad-supported (unless you used the in-app purchase to turn that off) and required you to log in to Microsoft! I didn't even download that one! Because it was an app, it didn't work for Windows 7.

   Can anyone give me a link to a GOOD version of Rummikub for the PC that is from a very reputable site and preferably free (very low cost with trial possible)?

   TIA!

   OMG, I'd not heard of the game since I was a teenager. We used to play it with my grandma' o years ago when I still lived a home, but stopped when she passed away in in 1980. It was either Rummikub or my other favorite game of the time four player Mahjong. I've still got my Mahjong set, which my grandma' bought for me, but I don't know what happened to therummikub tiles. I remember having lots of fun playing it with my grandparents and my cousin, who used to come over most weekends.
   Ah, the memories. :)

   I've checked, but so far have come up against the same problems you are having. Will let you know if I do find a suitable one that is free or very cheap. Now I'm in a contemplative mood reflecting on my childhood memories of my grandma, with whom I lived with for most of my childhood, and am considering buying a boxed set or a travelers version (we usually take a couple of board games with us on vacation)via Amazon. That is if I can get my wife and kids interested. We have at least 50 board games up in the attic, but rarely play anything apart from Yahtzee or Upward partly due to each of us having our own PC's with out favorite PC games on them.
