Partner 101
101 Okey in pairs: the lower team total wins
Eşli 101 is 101 Okey for two teams: partners sit across, their totals add up, and when your partner finishes your own rack counts nothing. Open with 101 points or five pairs, lay tiles off on any meld, keep an eye on the okey — and play the katlamalı way if your table likes it. The lower team total wins.

How to play
- 1
Partners sit opposite each other. Team totals add up, and when your partner finishes, your rack costs nothing.
- 2
Lowest total after 3 hands wins. Each hand, lay your tiles down on the table and be the first to empty your rack.
- 3
The face-up tile by the pile is the indicator; the next number in its colour is the okey, a wild tile. The two star tiles (false jokers) play as the okey’s face.
- 4
Runs: 3+ numbers in a row, one colour (12-13-1 is not a run). Sets: 3–4 tiles of one number, all colours different.
- 5
Open by laying down runs and sets worth 101+ points (the tile numbers added up), or 5 pairs.
- 6
Each turn: draw from the pile, or take your left neighbour’s discard only if you use it this turn (to open, if you haven’t yet). Then discard one tile.
- 7
Once open, lay tiles off on any meld on the table, lay new melds, or take an okey back by laying the tile it stands for.
