Rummikub is a strategic board game from Israel. Players employ colourful number tiles to form numerical or colour-based sequences, ultimately clearing their hands.
Rummikub
Overall
As a novice in game design and computer programming, we resolved to redevelop a Rummikub variant with alternative rules using the Python programming language.
Through this programmatic implementation, we aim to explore potential game mechanics, introduce novel strategic elements, and merge traditional board gaming with digital interaction, thus infusing this classic game with an innovative playing experience.

My Role
Front-end development / UI Design
Method&Tool
Python / Github / Figma
Development
I mainly took charge of the front-end work and used GitHub to work with back-end developers. It was efficient to be both the designer and developer of the project because I had full control of the look of the end result. Involving in front-end and design work, allow me to think from both perspectives and consider more about the feasibility design.
