    I know a version of this game called 101. It's basically the same game as okey but you team up with the person in front and try to get rid of your stones quicker than the other team. The trick is for your pairs to have a total value of 101 or more. If you get to that point you showcase your sets and get rid of them. Once the stones in the middle run out or one team does an "okey", you tally up the numbers you have in the end and that becomes your score. Whichever team has the least score after x rounds of the game wins. I think it's much more enjoyable with the scoring system! You could try it sometime.

    We play 101 with okey materials, in the south west coast of Turkey. It is so much more difficult, flexible and fun! If you go to west coast (Beyond İzmir) you can find people who play that instead. It is nice to see you've come back to Turkey. I am not sure if you are still here, but if you are, I hope you'll have a great time.

    it's just a tip if you wanna see more local place as old İstanbul. You should be in Samatya for drinking Turkish Raki and try some tasty appetizer. (Thats the dinner time activity it starts 8:00pm until 2:00am) And then may be you can go fishing to Sarayburnu to catch some İstavrit (Thats activity for until morning) We love you guys :))
