Okey Club

Okey is a traditional Turkish tile-based board game for 2–4 players. It is similar to Rummikub and played with a set of 106 tiles (numbers 1–13 in four colors, each duplicated, plus 2 special “fake jokers”). The goal is to form valid sets and runs with your tiles and be the first to finish your hand. Game Components 106 tiles: Numbers 1–13 in 4 colors (red, blue, yellow, black), 2 of each. 2 fake jokers: Look different and act as dummies. Racks: Each player has one to hold tiles. Setup Determine dealer (random). Dealer shuffles all tiles facedown. Build wall: Tiles are stacked face down in 21 columns of 5 tiles each. Select indicator tile: A random tile is drawn and placed face up. The joker is the next number of the same color as the indicator (e.g., if the indicator is Blue 7 → Blue 8s are jokers). Fake jokers take the value of the real joker. Deal tiles: Dealer takes 15 tiles; all others take 14. Remaining tiles form the draw pile. Gameplay Players take turns clockwise. On Your Turn: Draw one tile: Either from the draw pile or the discard pile. Discard one tile: Place a tile face up on top of your discard stack. You must always have 14 tiles (except when finishing with 15). Valid Combinations Tiles are arranged into groups: Runs (sequences): At least 3 consecutive numbers of the same color. Example: Red 4-5-6. Sets (same numbers): 3 or 4 of the same number in different colors. Example: Blue 9, Red 9, Black 9. Jokers can substitute for any tile. Winning A player wins when they can arrange all 14 tiles in valid sets/runs and discard the 15th. Special hand (called “Çifte”): Winning with pairs only (seven pairs). Scoring (optional house rules) The winner scores +1 point, others -1. If a player wins with “Çifte” (pairs) → score is doubled. If a player wins by drawing the last tile from the wall → bonus points. ✅ In short: Draw a tile → Arrange into runs/sets → Discard → Try to finish first.
