Bluff Pishti

A version of Pishti

Play a card face down and claim a pishti

Blöflü Pişti is the Turkish fishing game with a poker face: when a single card lies on the table you may lay one face down and claim a pishti. The next player accepts — you score 10, 20 on a jack — or challenges, and the card is turned: a real pishti scores double, a bluff pays the challenger. Everything else is Pişti as you know it, first to 101.
