About this game

The classic Turkish coffee-house card game, now on your phone — Basra and Pişti in one app!

Basra Online lets you play Turkey's beloved fishing card game at tables of 2, 3 or 4. Create a table, send friends the 5-letter code, and play 2 vs 2 or every player for themselves. No internet? Play offline against bots that think, make basras and hold on to their Jacks.

BASRA OR PİŞTİ
Pick the style at every table. Basra scores 1 point and plays to a target score. Pişti scores 10, runs a fixed number of rounds, and the app switches its wording, scoring and closed-card rules to match.

VOICE CHAT
Talk with your table: hold to speak, and in partnership games choose to be heard by your team only. Mute, block or report anyone you don't want to hear from.

HOW TO PLAY
• 52 cards. Everyone gets 4 cards and 4 go to the table: 3 closed under 1 open.
• The table is one pile; only the top card counts. Match its rank and you take the whole pile.
• A Jack sweeps the table. Optionally the 7♦ acts as a joker.
• BASRA: matching the top card and taking the pile. Worth 1 or 10 points.
• The side with the most cards at the end of a round earns the majority bonus (nobody on a tie).

YOUR HOUSE RULES
Every table picks its own rules: basra value, game length (21/34/51 points or 6/11/16 rounds), when a basra counts, table opening, Jack-on-Jack double basra, 7♦ joker, Ace/Jack/2♣/10♦ points, turn timer, bot thinking time.

ACHIEVEMENTS

What’s new

Fixed the table freezing at the start of a round: the first player would not play and the turn timer never ran.
Coming back from an ad or from another app now resumes the game on its own.
