How to play 101 okey
101 okey uses the same 106 tiles and 4 players, but the goal is different: lay your tiles on the table as melds and finish your hand first. Everyone is dealt 21 tiles; the player who starts gets 22.
- Open: the melds you lay down must add up to at least 101, or lay down at least 5 pairs.
- Lay and add: on later turns you may lay new melds and add tiles to the start or end of melds on the table.
- Finish: throw your last tile and the hand is over; you score −101.
A tile taken from the left must go on the table that turn; if you can't use it, you give it back and score 101.
Penalty points
| Situation | Points |

| Never opened | 202 |
| Opened | Sum of tiles left in hand (okey counts 101) |
| Opened with pairs | Penalty ×2 |
| Threw a workable tile or an okey | +101 |
| Showed the indicator on the first turn | −101 |

How do you open in 101 okey?
The melds you lay down (runs or the same number in different colours) must add up to at least 101, or you must lay down at least 5 pairs. An okey counts as the tile it stands in for.
How are penalty points counted in 101 okey?
Whoever finishes scores −101. A player who never opened scores 202; one who opened scores the sum of the tiles left in hand, with an okey counting 101. Opening with pairs doubles it. Finishing by throwing the okey, or opening and finishing in the same turn, scores −202 and doubles everyone else's penalty.
What is a workable tile?
A tile that could be added to the start or end of a run, or to a set, already on the table. Throwing a workable tile or an okey costs 101 points.
