What is Küt?
Küt is a round-based game for four players played with 106 okey tiles (similar to Rummikub tiles). You draw and discard just as in Okey, but to meld your tiles you first have to meet that round's contract: the required number of Küt groups (same number in different colours) and runs (consecutive numbers in the same colour).
The contract changes every round. A player struggling to build runs can pull ahead in a group round, while four-tile rounds change how the whole table plays. Same tiles, a fresh calculation every round.
The name varies from region to region: Küt, Küt okey, Amerikano or Amerikan okeyi. It is related to the card game Amerikano; see Amerikano Okey for how they differ.

Online table
Pull up a chair
The coffeehouse table on your phone: the tiles, the chat, the tea. Set up your own table with friends or join an open one.
Chat at the table
Message the other players around the table while you play. Preset messages and five emoji are open to everyone; to type freely, just sign in with Apple, Google or Facebook.
Chat is moderated, with offensive words filtered out before they reach the table. You can report or block a player, or turn chat off in the settings.
Play in TEAM mode
The player sitting opposite you is your partner. When one of you clears their rack, the other also scores 0 for that round, even without melding; the team with the lower combined penalty points wins the match.
At a Friends' Table, you pick your own partner: the friend you invite takes the seat opposite you.
Treat the table to tea
Send another player one of eight treats, from roasted chickpeas to a hookah, or treat the whole table. Everyone at the table sees your treat, and it's paid for with in-game chips.
Roasted chickpeas
Sunflower seeds
Tea
Simit basket
Fruit platter
Turkish delight
Soda crate
Hookah
You can also send one free gift chip a day to each friend, without taking anything from your own chip balance.

Frequently asked questions
What is Küt okey?
Küt is a tabletop game played with okey tiles. Every round has its own contract: one round might call for a Küt group of three, another for two runs. Lay down the required tiles to meld; the first player to clear their rack wins the round. Depending on where you play, people call it Küt okey, Amerikano or Amerikan okeyi.
Can I play KÜT online?
Yes. In KÜT you take a seat at an online four-player table. To play with friends, set up your own table and share the invite link on WhatsApp. See Play Küt Okey Online for details.
Can I chat at the table?
Yes. Sign in with Apple, Google or Facebook to type messages at the table; preset messages and five emoji are open to everyone. Chat is moderated and offensive language is filtered out. You can report and block a player, or turn chat off altogether in the settings.
How does TEAM Küt work?
The two players sitting opposite each other form a team. When one partner clears their rack, the other also scores 0 for that round, even without melding. The team with the lower combined penalty points wins the match. Full rules are on the TEAM Küt page.
Can I send gifts in the game?
Yes. Using in-game chips, you can treat another player at the table to tea, a fruit platter or a hookah, and everyone at the table sees it. You can also send a friend gift chips once a day without reducing your own chip balance.
How many people play Küt?
Küt is played by four players. Everyone plays for themselves in SOLO mode; at a TEAM table, the two players sitting opposite each other are partners.
What's the difference between Küt and 101 Okey?
In 101 Okey, your groups and runs must add up to 101 before you can meld. In Küt, point totals don't matter: you must lay down the exact contract for that round, such as two Küt groups of three. Scoring works differently too; see Küt vs 101 Okey for details.
Does KÜT include classic Okey or 101?
No. The KÜT app is strictly for Küt. If you already play Okey or 101, the tiles, melds and adding tiles will be familiar; the new part to learn is each round's contract.
How many points is an Okey tile worth in Küt?
An Okey (wild tile) or false joker left on your tile rack is worth 25 penalty points. In a round where someone finishes with Okey, everyone's penalty points are doubled.
Is the KÜT app free?
Yes. KÜT is free and shows no adverts. Optional chip packs are available, though you can play without buying anything. Chips cannot be exchanged for money.
Is it on Android?
KÜT is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. The Android version is in closed testing on Google Play; you can join the closed test.
