Romi Pro is a fantastic digital adaptation of Rummy Tile games (similar to Rummikub). For fans of the board game, this is an excellent way to practice. The AI is quite formidable, particularly on the higher settings, where it seems to calculate every possible combination in an instant. This forces you to be much more strategic with how you hold and play your tiles.

The 'Pro' version is worth it for the cleaner interface and lack of distractions. The drag-and-drop interface for moving tiles around the board works well, and the game does a great job of highlighting where a tile can be legally placed. It’s a quiet, cerebral game that’s perfect for long flights or commutes when you want to engage your brain without needing an internet connection.

Dinsun Review

Rummikub is a fine game, and Romi Pro doesn't mess it up. That’s the highest praise I can give it. The interface is about as exciting as a spreadsheet, but it’s functional and fast. The AI is surprisingly competent on the higher levels—it won't let you get away with sloppy play.

However, it’s purely for the enthusiasts. If you don't already know and love Rummikub, this app isn't going to convince you. It lacks any sort of tutorial or 'onboarding' for new players. It’s a tool for people who already know what they’re doing. It’s the 'expert' version of a game that most people only play during family reunions. It’s fine, but it’s very, very dry.

Tips

Strategic Discards

Don't always play every tile you can. Sometimes it's better to hold onto a tile to wait for a better opportunity or to prevent the AI from using your move to their advantage.

Gameplays

Tile Manipulation

Drag tiles from your rack to the board to form groups or runs. You can also manipulate existing sets on the board to incorporate your tiles, provided all sets remain valid.
