Istanbul gaming salons
Game Okay: a little history
How to play Okay 101
Where to play Okay online
Where to buy Okay

Surely, many Turkish wives are familiar with this situation: as soon as the husband comes home from work, he gets calls from friends with questions, like, where are you? Will you be there soon? Is there already a fourth one? Only Memed is missing and so on. Sound familiar? And me too. These are kind of invitations to gaming cafes.

Gaming parlors in Istanbul

Istanbul gaming cafes are a kind of mini-casino, only conscious citizens do not play for money here... These are conscious citizens, I can’t say anything about others. Gaming parlors are scattered around Istanbul like fallen leaves in late autumn. For each district and quarter of the city there are 5, 10, or even 20 such cafes and, moreover, they are always full of visitors.

Such a gaming salon is an ordinary cafe with dozens of tables on which there are already cards, dominoes, checkers or the favorite Turkish game - OK. They mainly serve tea, coffee, lemonade and sandwiches. This is where Turkish men run on their days off, after work, and some instead...

Thus, we understand where Istanbul residents go in the evenings, now it remains to tell us what they do there. The answer is also simple - they play. We all know how to play cards, dominoes or checkers and chess, but not everyone is familiar with the game called Okay, so I’ll now tell you a little about it and even teach you how to play.

Game Okay

In fact, it is difficult to call such a game originally Turkish, because it comes from China. In general, it was intended for children with disabilities so that they could develop in identifying basic colors, numbers and understand simple arithmetic. The Turks took over the baton and, having slightly interpreted the rules, optimized it for an adult game that is also interesting for children to play.

The Chinese equivalent of the name is Rummy. The game is designed for four players: you can play in pairs or each for himself (a smaller number of players is also possible), and is a set of plastic keys (that’s what I call them, in the original - tash (ta?)) with numbers in four colors, plus two jokers. The game also comes with 4 stands for easy movement of the keys when you need to create sequences. A sequence is a sequence, in this case a sequence of laid out game keys.

The set of numbers consists of 1 to 13, red, yellow, blue and black. There are two analogues of each color. That is, two queues of yellow keys, two – blue, black and red.

There are several variations of the game Okay, but I'll focus on Okay 101 today.

Goal of the game Okay

The main goal of "Okay" is for the player to throw all the keys onto the playing field so that he is left with only one, which must be thrown off the table.

Start the game Okay

Of the 106 available keys, four players are dealt 21 keys in a chaotic order, which other players, of course, do not see, see the picture.

Let me describe the playing field in order.

1 is the field where the player lays out his sequences

2 is the field where the player places paired sequences

3 is the key that is responsible for information for the player, that is, okay. But in this case, ok will not be 7 blue, but 8 blue, this is due to the provision of another chance. In other words, players are offered not just one okay, but two.

4 is where the player sends his received 22nd key.

5 – next to the ok there is a deck of keys, from which the player will take the very 22nd.

Game process Okay

To play Turkish Okey you need 4 players, they rarely play with three, but I haven’t played. Initially, the 21st key is distributed to everyone. The players move counterclockwise, first one player takes his key from the deck, and then throws the one he doesn’t need to the right (see point 4).

As I said, the goal is to throw away all the keys and end the round, but you can only start throwing away keys in sequences that add up to 101.

Sequences can consist of keys with consecutive numbers of the same color, starting from three pieces, or of identical numbers of different colors, also at least three keys. For example, either 5,6,7 are black, or 8,8,8 are red, yellow, black.

A good example of collecting 101 points.

To make it easier to calculate the sum of points, you can simply take the middle keys, from the figure this is 11+11+9+12+13 = 56x3 = 168. So, there are 56, multiply it by three keys and get 168, which means we have 101 points collected, you can throw it on the field.

However, typing 101 is not yet a result, because you need to throw away all the keys. So, according to the picture, we will have 38 points left, which will be added to the player’s overall score. If you close the game with a regular sequence, throwing out all the keys on field No. 1, then -(minus) 101 points will be added to the score. And if you don’t open at all, then + (plus) 202 points. Of course, minus is good, plus is bad. We’re already used to the fact that with the Turks it’s the other way around, right?

Paired sequence in Okay

If you cannot open a regular sequence, then you can use the steam room. But pairs of numbers must be the same color and at least five pairs. For example, 7.7 black, 12.12 yellow, 10.10 red, 5.5 blue and 8.8 yellow. Here colors are important only in two numbers, and same-color pairs can be of different colors.

chief ok

Regarding the points in the paired sequence (?ift okey). All remaining keys are summed up into points and multiplied by two. That is, for example, you have 15 points left, 30 points will be added to your account. If you finish the round in which you opened Chief Okay, then -(minus) 202 points will be added to your account. Everything is fair, we multiply by two, just like the results of the opposing players. That is, if your opponent has a total of 10 keys left, and you end the game by throwing away the chief, then his score is credited +20.

Now about the interaction between the chief and the sequential sequence. If you have opened a simple sequence, you can lay out keys with OK on field No. 1 and also put chiefs on field No. 2, if it has already been opened. Otherwise, if the chief is not yet open, you will have to be content with only seri (regular sequence).

And, if you open a chief, then you can only throw out other (unpaired) keys for other sequences that were laid out by other players and it is impossible to lay out an ok separately with a sequence, it can be put in a chief with some number. Rice. Ok24

You can play in pairs, but I haven’t mastered this method yet, I only know that if your partner loses, you will also lose, even if you have good keys.

Sets in the game

As a rule, there are several rounds in an okiya, ranging from three to 11. In other words, you need to play, say, 11 rounds for the game to end, and the total points will be the result of the game.

Rules of the game Okay 101

An okay key is one that is one more than the one shown in the deck. There are only two of them for all keys.
You must have one eject key left, otherwise you will not be able to finish the game.
Throwing a required key on the field is punishable by adding +101 points to the score. For example, there will be a penalty for throwing an ok in the middle of the game, for throwing, for example, a red 6, if the final red 5 or 7 is placed on the field.
If the player does not open his keys before the end of the deck, +202 points are added to his account.
If the game ends okay, then the player who finished it is deducted -202 points, and the sum of the other players' points is multiplied by two.
If no one has opened their keys during the entire game, then the round starts over without adding/subtracting points.
If no one opened the keys, and only one player completed the game in a single opening, this layout is called Kafa biti?i. In this case, the finishing player is deducted -202 points, everyone else is assigned +404.
If a player takes a key thrown by another player (on the left), then he must throw it onto the field in the sequence. If the left key is taken, and you have not yet opened your keys, then you need to open them and be sure to throw away the key taken from the left.
If all four players have opened the Chief Okay, then the round is reset and starts again.
As a rule, one minute is given for one move. But in one round you can use the additional time of 3 minutes once.

Where to play ok online?

Ok, I’m done with the rules, now I need to tell you where you can play the game ok online. It’s simple, go to the website, register, download the client, launch it, enter your login and password into the form, select a salon and start playing.

A little about the service?ift Okey

By downloading this client, you can play different OK games, Turkish card games, and so on. For every game that ends positively for you, you receive points for your rating. There are first and second places where the player can win and get points, and third and fourth places where points are deducted. The number of points awarded and deducted depends on the number of rounds in the game. I present to you an approximate table of points:

Number of rounds\|points	1st place	2nd place	3rd place	4th place
3	3	1	-1	-3
5	5	2	-2	-5
7	7	3	-3	-7
9	9	4	-4	-9
11	11	5	-5	-11

So, you can score the most points in the system by taking first place, second place is also considered winning and your efficiency in the system will increase.

The ?ift Okey system has as many as 6 floors, each of them with about a hundred salons in which almost any player can play. Some salons have restrictions on entry using points, but due to the large number of gaming salons, you will not be left without a game.

Second tip: I don’t recommend registering via Facebook, as your profile will be visible to everyone, and the Turks will pester you again.

Third tip: come up with universal nicknames, without an accent on the Russian language - this is also fraught with harassment. I checked it on myself.

In general, the game system is quite simple, so it won’t be difficult to figure it out, even without knowing the language.

System rules?ift Okey

All standard rules of the game apply to the game, plus there are additional ones.

The game will begin when the table leader calls; this is the player who created the table or the next one after him if the first one left the table. If the host does not make the call, the game will not start.
Leaving the gaming table after the start of the game is punishable by being kicked out of the system for 2 hours, plus, if a player comes to your place and loses, then the lost points will be debited from you, multiplied by two.
If your Internet connection fails, you will also be thrown out of the game, but you have the right to return to your table, you just have to remember the number of the salon and your gaming table. Just click on your table and the player replacing you will be thrown out of the game, and continue playing. If you do not return to your table, then any player can take your place. If you win, your points will not be deducted, and if you lose, your rating will drop exactly twice as much as the points you lost.
You can also take someone else's place in the game if another player leaves it for some reason, however, if he returns, the system will throw you out from the table.
If you finish the game under the heading “Kafa biti?i” (see the rules of the game ok 101), then you are also credited with points, the number of which depends on the number of rounds of the game. Typically these are 1,2,3,4,5. These points will still remain in your account, even if you end up losing. However, they do not affect gaming efficiency in any way.

Well, in general, that’s all about the system, if you have any questions, write in the comments and I will answer. Next is where to buy the okey gaming kit.

Where to buy ok

Well, firstly, it can be found in stores that sell toys, chess or books. Secondly, you can buy okay online. The set costs approximately 40 Turkish lira. That's where they sell okay.

That's all, you can join the game and enjoy. In fact, I found the game very interesting and exciting, now I understand my husband when he goes to play it with friends. And there are fewer conflicts in the house and you yourself can feel his mood and listen to stories about how he won today...

106 tiles in 4 colors, numbered from 1 to 13 are used in the game, including two unnumbered special tiles, so called false jokers.
The false joker is a tile with a clover leaf. It can replace only the tiles which are jokers during the game.
The jokers are the tiles of the same color and one number higher than the tile laid face up in the middle of the table when the game is started.

In the game shown above the joker is red 5. That tile replaces any other tile.

The false joker (clover) always replaces the joker tile and only that tile.

Four players play the game in counter-clockwise direction.

Each player gets 14 tiles, except the player starting the game, who gets one tile more and starts the game by discarding one useless tile.

At the beginning you should rearrange your tiles so as to gather the tiles which can create melds and decide which tiles are not needed.

The object is, by drawing and discarding tiles, to be the first to form a hand that consists entirely of sets of equal numbered tiles, and runs of consecutive tiles of the same color.

Winning hands

The object of the game is to collect 14 tiles forming a winning hand.
The winning hands are:

14 tiles, formed entirely into sets and runs
e.g. two sets of 3 and two runs of 4, or a run of 6 plus a run of 4 plus a set of 4.
No tile can be used as part of more than one combination (set or run) at the same time.
- A set consists of three or four tiles of the same number and different colors.
  So for example a black 7 plus two red 7"s would not form a valid set.
- A run consists of three or more consecutive tiles of the same color.
  The 1 can be used as the lowest tile, below the 2, or as the highest tile, above the 13, but not both at once.
So red 1-2-3 or black 12-13-1 would be valid runs, but green 13-1-2 would not be valid. or seven pairs

. Each pair must consist of two tiles of the same color and having the same number.

To be accepted, the meld must consist of adjacent tiles, whereas each meld must be separated from one another.

In the first round every player should check if he has the same tile as the one laid in the middle of the table.

If he has such a tile, by putting it on the revealed tile in the center of the table, he takes away one point from his opponents.

During their turn, players can take the following actions: Draw a tile
– players can draw tiles from the stack in the center. A player can also draw an exposed tile from his left side that was previously discarded by an opponent. It is on the left side of the table. Discard a tile
– drawing after a tile a player must put back one tile onto the stack on the right side. These tiles may be drawn by one's opponent sitting on the right.

Winning notification

– in the case of all tiles (except one) are combined in melds, a player can notify winning.

To notify winning, the last tile must be discarded not to the stack, but put on the revealed tile placed in the center of the table.

In the moment of winning notification, the discarded tile can not be an element of any meld.

Scoring

At the beginning of the game, all players have the same numbers of points. The limit of points is determined in setting up a table.
The minimum is 5 and maximum is 21.
After each round, every player who does not win, receives negative points:

Winning notification by completed sequences and the same value melds. Every opponent loses 2 points.

Winning notification by completed sequences and the same value melds and putting back joker as the last tile.

Every opponent loses 4 points.

Winning notification by completed 7 pairs of tiles in the same value and color. Every opponent loses 4 points.
