A seven of spades landing on a lone seven of diamonds on a green card table, with the deck and a stack of won cards beside them

Turkey’s card game, now over chat

Pişti (say “pish-tee”) is the card game half of Turkey learned at the kitchen table: one deck, two players, four cards each, and a pile in the middle that grows until somebody takes it. You take the pile by matching the rank of the card on top, or by playing a jack. Take a pile of just one card with the same rank and you have made a pişti, worth 10 points. A jack on a lone jack is a double pişti, worth 20.

On BeatMe you start a game, play your first card and send the link. Your friend taps it, picks a name and plays in the browser. You don’t need to be online together: the table waits until it’s their turn. If you are both there, every card lands live on both screens.

How to play Pişti

Start a game

Type your name, choose one deal or a race to 51 or 101 points, and who plays first. You get a short beatme.link link to send.

Play one card

Four cards sit on the table, three face down and one face up. On your turn you put one of your four cards on the pile.

Take the pile

A card of the same rank as the top card takes the whole pile. A jack takes any pile. Taking a lone card with the same rank is a pişti: 10 points, or 20 for a jack on a jack.

Count the points

When the deck is used up, the table goes to whoever took last. Most cards 3, each ace and jack 1, the two of clubs 2, the ten of diamonds 3, plus your piştis.

How to win at Pişti

  • Take when you can. A matching card or a jack takes the pile. Saving a jack for a bigger pile doesn’t win more games, so if you have no match, take with the jack.
  • Don’t leave a lone card they can match. When the table is empty, lay down a card whose other three are already gone: they can’t make a pişti on it.
  • Count the cards. There are four of each rank. If two sevens are already in the piles, a seven on an empty table is much safer.
  • Watch the last cards. Whatever is left on the table at the end goes to the last player who took, so a late take can win you the most cards.

Why play Pişti on BeatMe?

No lobbies, no strangers and no app: a link in WhatsApp, Telegram or any chat, with a preview card showing who challenged whom. Your hand, the deck and the face-down cards stay on our server, so nobody can peek, and every card is checked before it lands. At the end of each deal a small table shows exactly where the points came from.

Pişti FAQ

Can I play Pişti online with a friend for free?

Yes. Start a game on this page, send the link and your friend plays in their browser. It is free, with no app, no account and no ads on the table.

What is a pişti?

Taking a pile of exactly one card by playing the same rank on it. It is worth 10 points. A jack on a lone jack is a double pişti, worth 20. A jack on any other lone card takes it, but is not a pişti.

How are the points counted?

After each deal: 3 points for most cards (nobody gets them at 26–26), 1 for each ace and each jack, 2 for the two of clubs, 3 for the ten of diamonds, plus 10 for each pişti and 20 for each double pişti.

What happens to the cards left on the table?

When the deck and both hands are empty, the cards still on the table go to the last player who took a pile.

Do we have to play at the same time?

No. Each of you plays when you like. The link keeps the game for 48 hours after the last card. If you are both online, the cards appear live.
