PISHTI is a popular turn-based Turkish card game played with 4 or 2 players, using a standard 52 card pack. Cards are played to a central pile, which can be captured by matching the
previous card played or playing a jack.  The object of Pishti is to gain maximum number of cards and/or points and ofcourse making pishti. The word "pishti", describes a capture of pile containing
only one card, for which extra points are scored. In game, each jack and ace is scored as 1 point, diamond 10 scored as 3 points, club 2 scored as 2 points and each pishti is scored as 10 points. The player who has the majority of the cards at the end of game is also scored extra 3 points. Optionally, game can be played with or without bluff moves.
When bluff moves allowed, if there is only single card on th pile, player closes his card over it and asks the prior player if this is a pishti or not. The prior can accept the bluff and open the closed card or rejects it and accepts that that is a pishti.
