thumb|A game of Okey in the Mardin Province of Turkey thumb|right|Racks and tiles used commonly in Okey and [[Rummikub]] Okey () is a tile-based game, popular in Turkey, of the rummy family. The aim of the game is to score points against the opposing players by collecting certain groups of tiles. It is usually played with four players, but can also be played with only two or three players.
== Setting up the game == thumb|Every game has 104 numbered tiles and 2 false joker tiles The 106 tiles are placed face down on the table and thoroughly mixed. Next, the players stack the tiles face down in groups of 5, creating a total of 21 stacks. There is no specific rule about how many stacks should be in front of each player. It is convenient to have at least six in front of the dealer, but this makes no real difference to the game.
