Pishpirik is the traditional Balkan card game of matching and sweeping, played with a standard 52-card deck by two players head to head or four in partnerships. Play a card of the same rank as the one showing on the table and the whole pile is yours; clear a table holding a single card and you have a Pishpirik. Play it in the browser against a friend on their own device, in a four-player 2v2 where partners play across the table, or pass one phone back and forth.
If you have played Pişti in Turkey, Bastra in the Balkans or Casino anywhere else, Pishpirik is the same family of sweeping games and the same deck. The rules here follow the traditional scoring — a point for every ace, ten, jack, queen, king and the two of clubs, two for the ten of diamonds, and three for taking most of the pack.
By capturing the most valuable cards, not simply the most cards. Every ace, ten, jack, queen, king and the two of clubs is worth a point, the ten of diamonds is worth two, and three more go for taking more than half the pack — 25 in a deal, plus ten for every Pishpirik.
Clearing a table that holds exactly one card by matching its rank. It is worth 10 bonus points, or 20 when the lone card was a jack and you took it with another jack.
A jack captures the table pile whatever is showing on it, which makes it the most useful card in your hand. Taking a single non-jack with a jack is an ordinary capture, not a Pishpirik.
Yes. Pass and play deals both hands on a single device and hides each player's cards behind a curtain while the phone changes hands. It is for two players; the four-player game is online only.
Yes. Four players play 2v2: pick a partner in the room and they confirm, then partners sit across the table so the player after you is always an opponent. Your side pools everything it captures and shares one score, but you cannot see your partner's hand — only the cards they play.
No. You can play as a guest straight away. Signing in only adds your finished games to your match history and the leaderboard.
