101 Okey Guide

How to Play 101 Okey

101 Okey is a more strategic variant of Okey. The key difference: you open melds on the table and lay off tiles.

Deal and indicator

Four players play. The dealer gets 22 tiles, others get 21. The revealed indicator sets the okey (joker) for the hand.

On your turn you draw from the pile or the left player's discard, then throw one tile.

To join play you must open melds on the table. Your runs and sets must total at least 101 points.

A run scores the sum of its numbers (red 4-5-6 = 15). A set scores number × count (four-color 13 = 52).

Set · 52

Set · 48

Run · 18

Example opening: 52 + 48 + 18 = 118 points → at least 101, so you may open.

After opening, you can add matching tiles to any open meld on the table (yours or opponents').

You finish by placing all your tiles and throwing your last one. Play2Chat validates opens and finishes against the rules.
