Pişti Card Game

Pişti (pronounced "pishti"), sometimes known as Pişpirik, is a popular Turkish card game, using a standard 52 card pack.Pişti is a card game based on counting cardsCards are played to a central pile, which can be captured by matching the previous card played or playing a jack. Points are scored for certain captured cards.

Pişti Game's Goal

• Try to do more Pişti than other players.

• Collect more cards from competitors in the game.

• Get 51 or more points firstly

Pişti Game Play

• At the beginning, each player is dealt four cards. Four cards are put on table with three of them closed and one open.

If rank of the played card matches the rank of the previous card on the pile, the player captures the whole pile. The next player will then start a new discard pile by playing a card face up to the empty table.

Playing a jack also captures the whole pile, no matter what card is on top of it.

If the played card is not a jack and is not equal to the previous top card of the pile, the played card is simply added to the top of the pile.

If the pile consists of just one card and the next player captures it by playing a matching card (not a jack), the capturing player scores a 10 point bonus for a pişti. If the pile consists of just a single jack and you capture it with another jack, this counts as a double pişti, worth 20 points. A pişti can happen at any stage of the game.
