Gülbahar: Okey Roguelike

The tiles are familiar. The rules are not.

Gülbahar is a single-player strategy game built on okey tiles — the Turkish tile game played in every coffeehouse. Tour from house to house, lay down melds, grow your score, and outplay the masters who each bend one rule. Every run deals a new deck, new relics, a new path.

THE TOUR Three towns, nine hands. The last hand of each town belongs to a master: the Shoemaker forbids runs, the Watchmaker takes your swaps, the Simit Seller bans pairs. The rule is always stated before the hand — no surprise punishment.

RELICS An evil eye bead, a tulip tea glass, a backgammon die, a string of prayer beads… Thirty-six relics grow your score from different directions. Order matters: the shelf order is the order of the maths.

THE COFFEEHOUSE SHOP Spend your tips on relics, engrave your tiles, buy back a right. One small decision between towns: power or flexibility?

DAILY TOUR Same deck, same shop, same masters for everyone. One attempt a day. How deep can you go?

WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH THE SAME DECK? Every run has a seed code. Send it to a friend and they play the exact same tour. Watch your own runs back, and share a summary card.

THE HOUSE Every master you defeat leaves a keepsake on the wall. The radio in the corner reports the weather and whose tea has gone cold.
