Phurti: Multiplayer Card Game

Phurti is the free online version of a Georgian folk card game for 2-4 players. In Georgian it’s called ფურთი (phurti, also spelled purti or furti). In some regions it also goes by “11” (თერთმეტი). It’s a fast, math-based card-capturing game played with a standard 52-card deck: you take cards off the table by adding up to exactly eleven. The rules take a minute to learn, a match takes about ten minutes, and the game is a lot more tactical than it looks.

Play with friends at your own table or take on opponents from around the world: quick matchmaking, a friends list with private messages and table invites, and animated emotes and phrases during the game. Climb the country and world leaderboards, unlock achievements with chip rewards, and add avatar frames to your collection. All of it in a hand-drawn chalkboard style, in 14 languages.

Phurti has been played at family tables in Georgia for generations. Now that table is open to everyone, wherever you are.

New to the game?

The interactive tutorial takes a couple of minutes and shows you how captures work and where the points come from. AI practice matches have no stakes and don’t affect the leaderboards, so you can play until it clicks. The full rules are always right there in the game.

Full game rules

Every match you finish earns experience. Level up and earn chips and other rewards for the achievements you unlock.

If you like to compete, there are leaderboards for your country and for the whole world. The monthly leaderboard resets on the 1st, so everyone gets a fresh shot at the top. The month’s strongest players earn medals that stay in their profile for good. The “All time” leaderboard is the overall ranking across the game’s entire history.

Is Phurti free?

Yes. Phurti is free to play and you don’t need to sign up to start. In-app purchases (chip packs, avatar frames, emote packs) and rewarded ads are completely optional. You never have to buy anything to play. Chips are virtual game currency only: they have no real-world value and can’t be cashed out or transferred to another player. Bailout chips and optional rewarded ads top up your balance for free.

Are there ads?

Only if you want them. There are no banners and no videos in the middle of a match. The only ads in Phurti are the rewarded ones you choose to watch for bonus chips (with a daily limit).

Can I play with friends?

Yes. Create your own table, choose the stake in chips, and send your friends a link that takes them straight to your table. Add friends to your list, chat in private messages, and invite them to a table with one tap. At the table, trade fun animated emotes and phrases.

Can I play against the computer?

Phurti is an online game, but you’ll never be stuck waiting alone. If matchmaking can’t find opponents for a while, the app offers a practice match against an AI opponent, with no stakes and no effect on your stats or leaderboards. And the interactive tutorial walks you through the rules in a couple of minutes.

Which platforms are supported?

Android and iOS.

Do I need an account?

No. Just jump in as a guest. To keep your progress across devices, link your account whenever you like: Google or Play Games on Android, Apple or Game Center on iOS.

Is Phurti the same game as “11”?

Yes. All over Georgia, this folk card game is called Phurti (ფურთი). In some regions it also goes by “11” (თერთმეტი), after the total you need to make. The app is the online version of that game.

What languages is Phurti available in?

Fourteen: English, Georgian, Ukrainian, Polish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Hindi, Arabic, Persian, and Chinese (Simplified). The game follows your device language. You can switch it anytime in the settings.

Is the game fair?

All game logic runs on the server: the deal is random and the cards and points are equally fair for everyone. If an opponent is being unpleasant, you can report or block them. Once blocked, they disappear from your friends list and search results and can’t message you anymore.
