Kirkpinar

Kırkpınar is a turn-based oil wrestling game set at the real yağlı güreş circuit of Turkey. Oiled up in a leather kispet, you climb from village meadows in Thrace and the Aegean, through seven weight classes, to the golden belt at Sarayiçi in Edirne. Every bout is a grip battle, not a brawl. Each minute you pick a hold — paça, kol, sarma and six more — from cards dealt by your stance, read your rival's tell and watch his balance meter. Commit to the throw when his feet go light and you turn his belly to the sky; commit too early and the oil sends you sprawling. The oil gets slicker every minute, and the real weather at each meadow changes the sweat and the footing. Rivals have habits you learn: Kurt Ahmet always goes for the leg, young Deliormanlı Yusuf fades after ten minutes, old champion Recep waits for your mistake. A daily village bout keeps a streak going between meadows. Features: • Turn-based grip duel: stances, nine real holds, balance and breath, rising oil slick • 16 named rivals with distinct habits, and a dossier that records what each one reaches for • Seven meadows from Hayrabolu to Kırkpınar, each with elimination rounds and a purse • Live weather at every meadow (Open-Meteo) shapes the sweat and the grass • The cazgır calls your name and village in verse before every bout • Take or pick a portrait of your pehlivan with the camera or photo gallery • Optional daily reminder for the village bout • Bout book with your full history Step onto the grass, pehlivan.
