About

RummiTime

Features
Read full description

Every game night has one player who takes forever, and one who ends up doing the math. RummiTime handles both, so nobody has to be the timekeeper and nobody has to be the scorekeeper. Tap the big ring to start a turn. Tap it again to pass to the next player. When the round ends, tap Round Over and count up the tiles. That is the whole app. THE TIMER The ring drains as the turn runs down. At twenty seconds it turns amber. At ten it turns red and your phone taps out every remaining second, so you feel the turn ending instead of watching for it. Set turns anywhere from 15 seconds to 5 minutes to suit your table. Add two to eight players and give them real names, so it reads "Sarah" and not "Player 3". Someone got skipped? Tap their name to jump straight back to them. THE SCOREBOARD When a round ends, tap Round Over and say who went out. Then tap in the tiles left on each rack, jokers included, on a keypad built for one hand at a busy table. RummiTime does the arithmetic the official way: every other player scores their rack as a negative number, and the winner collects the sum. Running totals sit under the player names with the leader marked. Open the full scoreboard to see every round, and tap any round number to fix a mistake. Totals are always recalculated from the whole history, so a correction anywhere is safe. Your game is saved as you play. Close the app, take a phone call, come back the next evening: the round, the scores and whose turn it is are all still there. PLAY IT YOUR WAY - Jokers at 30, at 50, at zero, or anywhere between - Finish on a target score, or after a set number of rounds - Next round starts with the winner, with Player 1, or rotates - Wins Only, when you just want to count who won - Manual entry, for house rules nothing else covers - Optionally dock points for running out of time, off unless you ask for it AFTER THE GAME Finished games keep their full round table. The result card shows the final standings, how long you played and who took the longest single turn, and it shares as an image. Lifetime stats track games, wins and average score for each player. NO NONSENSE No ads. No accounts. No sign-up. No subscription. RummiTime never connects to the internet, so nothing about your game leaves your phone. It works exactly the same in a cabin with no signal as it does at your kitchen table. FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE GAME RummiTime does not recreate Rummikub and does not replace any part of it. It does two small jobs properly: keeping turns fair and keeping score honestly, so the evening stays about the tiles. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the makers of Rummikub.
