About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever imagined a game that takes the classic essence of Rummy but adds a layer of tension and strategic theft? ROBmmy arrives to be that table game that will make you and your friends think twice before laying down a card. The premise is simple: you need to build sets and runs, but the table here isn't a safe space. As long as your melds have fewer than seven cards, any opponent can swoop in and steal your hard work just by playing a matching card. It's a constant race to protect your assets and turn them into a 'Vault,' which is the only way to ensure no one else can touch what you've built.

For those playing with four, the partnership dynamic adds extra spice. You need to coordinate your moves, manage your 'Reload'—that extra breath to refresh your hand—and decide the right moment to attack or defend. Jokers act as wildcards to make life easier, but don't expect them to solve all your problems, as they can't be used to initiate a theft or directly extend a set. Winning isn't just about scoring the most points; it's about being the first to go out while having used your Reload and holding at least one secure Vault. It's a fast-paced game where reading what your opponent is trying to build is just as important as the cards in your hand. If you enjoy card games that mix planning with a dash of 'take that' and direct interaction, ROBmmy promises to be a must-have in your collection, especially for those casual game nights that still require a bit of brainpower. Get ready to protect your sets and hope your partner is on the same wavelength as you!
