Story
Every meld hits. Every table raises the stakes. ISTAKA combines Okey’s tile-matching mechanics with roguelite deckbuilding and head-to-head battles.

Every meld you play takes a bite out of their health. Every meld they play takes a bite out of yours. Arrange your tiles. Unleash your combo. Connect consecutive numbers of the same color, match equal numbers in different colors, or play pairs.

Empty your hand to deal all the damage you inflicted during that hand once again. Choose your rack. Shape your deck. Begin each run by choosing your rack, then earn special tiles as you play and keep your best ones in your Pocket so they show up in the first hand of every table. Unlock seven racks with different abilities and advantages, and find...
