On this day in 1985, International Games, Inc.'s trademark RUMMY RUMBLE registered with the USPTO (No. 1364678):
The mark was registered in International Class 28 for "equipment sold as a unit for playing a combination card and board game." As the game box itself says, "The Rummy Rumble Family Board Game adds new twists and turns to the ever popular Rummy card game." No actual rumbling involved (until little sister gets the card you need to complete your hand–then the table flies).
The registration was cancelled just seven years later and the game is no longer in production. But if you're feeling nostalgic, you can find some vintage boards on Amazon, ebay and Etsy.
