Nepali Card & Board Games

Nepali Team

About this game

Twenty-four card and board games people play in Nepal, in one app, in Nepali or English.

Play against the computer the moment the app opens, with no account needed. Or open a table, send its link to your group chat, and play with friends and family wherever they are.

CARD GAMES
• Call Break: bid your tricks, spades are trump.
• Marriage: three pure runs to see the tiplu, then meld it all. Putali, the master card and the house rules families argue about.
• Kitti, Dhumbal, Jutpatti, Gulam Chor, Teen Patti (Flash), In Between, 29, 3-2-5 and Rummy.

BOARD AND DICE GAMES
• Carrom: the board most homes here have, by the International Carrom Federation's rules. Slide the striker, pull back to aim and let go, and pocket your men and the queen before the other side does. Against the computer, with friends online, or up to four people round one phone.
• Chess: a computer at eight levels, from learning the moves to expert, and a clock for games online.
• Pool: eight-ball by the World Pool-Billiard Association's rules. Drag to aim, pull back the power bar, and hit the cue ball high, low or dead centre. Against the computer, with a friend online, or two people on one phone.
• Snooker: fifteen, ten or six reds on a table sized for a phone, a red and a colour in turn, and breaks to build.
• Pasa: the Dashain and Tihar game of three long dice, thrown against the whole table. Its rules are hard to find written down anywhere, so its rules page sets them out.
• Ludo, Baghchal, Snakes and Ladders, Langur Burja, Kauda, Backgammon, Draughts and Othello.
