Pisti - Pişti for Android

11 things about Pisti - Pişti

1. Cards are played to a central pile, which can be captured by matching the previous card played or playing a jack.

2. If the pile consists of just one card and the next player captures it by playing a matching card (not a jack), the capturing team scores a 10 point bonus for a pişti.

3. A pişti can happen at any stage of the game, except that you cannot score a pişti for the very first card played by the player to dealer's right (capturing the original centre cards) nor for the very last card played by the dealer (just before the hand is scored).

4. If rank of the played card matches the rank of the previous card on the pile, the playing team captures the whole pile.

5. When everyone has played their last four cards, any cards remaining in the discard pile are given to the last team that made a capture.

6. The capturing card is placed face up in the team's capture pile as a way of remembering the 10 points when scoring.

7. When all the players have played their four cards, the dealer deals another batch of four cards to each player from the stock (but no more to the centre of the table) and play continues.

8. The next player will then start a new discard pile by playing a card face up to the empty table.

9. 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.

10. A turn consists of playing one card from your hand face up on top of the discard pile.

11. The word "pişti", describes a capture of a pile containing only one card, for which extra points are scored.
