101 Okey

101 Okey is the Turkish tile rummy, played here at a warm wooden table against three bots or online with real people. The set has 106 tiles: red, yellow, blue and black, numbered 1 to 13, two of each, plus two false jokers. After the deal one tile is turned up as the gösterge, and the tile of the same colour one higher becomes the okey, the wild tile. The false jokers stand in for the okey tile itself.

On your turn you draw from the middle, or take the tile your left neighbour just threw, as long as you use it that turn, and then discard. Arrange series (same colour in a row) and sets (same number in different colours) on your rack. Once they add up to 101 points you can open, or you can open with five pairs instead. From your next turn you can add tiles to any set on the table, and you can win an okey back by putting the real tile in its place. Get every tile onto the table to finish the hand.

Lowest score wins. The finisher writes −101, a player who never opened writes 202, and the others write the tiles left in their hand. Finishing with an okey, after a pairs opening, or opening and finishing in one go doubles the hand. Throwing a playable tile, throwing an okey or returning a taken tile each costs 101 points.

The career runs through 120 tables in eight venues, from a Kadıköy kahvehane to a palace salon in Topkapı, adding pair openings, partner tables, rising openings, timed turns and sharper bots as you go. Each venue ends with a champion table. Bots come in three levels and only ever see their own tiles. Quick tables let you set every house rule, a daily table keeps a streak, and once signed in you can play online, solo or as partners, in quick matches or private rooms, with bots filling empty seats.

A few tips: tap Series or Pairs to sort your rack and see your opening points live, and use Hint when you are unsure how close you are. Only take your neighbour's discard if it fits a set right away. Before every discard, check the table, since a tile that fits an existing set costs 101. Holding an okey for your final discard doubles the hand.

Chips buy felts, tile styles, rack woods and avatars, and achievements track milestones. It plays with mouse, touch or keyboard; on a phone, turning it sideways gives a bigger table.

Once you have opened, you add tiles to any set on the table and race to get rid of your hand. Lowest score wins: the finisher writes -101 and a hand that never opened writes 202. Finishing with an okey, with pairs or in one go doubles everything.

Throwing a playable tile or an okey costs 101, as in any salon. Work through the career against bots, play quick tables with your own rules, or join an online table.
