When playing Rummikub if I have four or more in a set can I use them to make new sets? Yes, You can split sets of groups and runs on the table and use them along with tiles from your rack to make other sets as long as three tiles remain in the groups and runs that you borrowed from.
Can you use a joker in your initial meld in Rummikub?
The Joker can be used instead of any tile to create a set or run. The Joker also cannot be used in the initial melds, and you are not allowed to use two jokers in one set or run. You can also not replace a Joker on the table before you have laid down your initial meld.
Do you pick up every turn in Rummikub?
Although many people think you have to draw every turn you take similar to a card game, that is not true. Rummikub is designed for the players to only draw a tile if they are unable to play on the board anywhere or are unable to get “out”.

Can you do as many moves as you like in the same turn?
You can do as much legal “moves” as you like in the same turn. After making the initial meld, rest of this player’s turn is treated just like any other turn. break existing set (group/run) into separate tiles, as long as all of them will be left on the table at the end of your turn, and each one will be part of some legal set.
When do you move or break a meld you have to leave a valid meld?
When you move or break melds you have to be left with valid melds. A lone joker is not a meld just as a lone black 4 could not stand alone. Thanks for contributing an answer to Board & Card Games Stack Exchange!
What can a player do after making a meld?
Once a player has made his initial meld, he can, on each turn, play one or more tiles from his rack, making or adding to groups and/or runs.
Can you move Joker tile out of meld?
I don’t have the rules to double check to make sure it wasn’t a house rule. Different versions of rummikub come with different rules. If you have a version of the rules which states that you cannot move the joker tile out of a meld, I would be very surprised if you were allowed to move other tiles out of the meld, as this would not make sense.
