Khel Baithak (खेल बैठक) brings four Nepali favourites to your phone: Callbreak, Marriage, Ludo and Bagh Chal. Every game plays offline, against bots or with friends passing one phone round the table.

Callbreak
Callbreak, also called Call Break or Lakadi, is the trick-taking tash game played at every family gathering.
• Five rounds, bids from 1 to 13, spades are trumps.
• The must-beat rule: if you can beat the best card of the suit that was led, you must.
• Usual scoring: your bid in points, 0.1 for each extra trick, minus your bid if you fall short.
• The scoreboard adds up the Nepali way, with totals after round 4 and after round 5.

Marriage
• The Nepali 21-card rummy, played with three decks by 2 to 5 players.
• See the tiplu, collect maal, and win with melds or eight dublees.
• Presets for Kidnap and Murder, plus an optional Superman card, Alter scoring and printed jokers.

Ludo
• 2 to 4 players, with safe star squares and captures.
• Presets for Usual, Fast, Ranking, Capture and Blockades, or switch each rule on or off yourself.
• Share your house rules as a short code so everyone plays the same game.

Bagh Chal (tigers and goats)
• The traditional board game of Nepal: 4 tigers and 20 goats on a 5 × 5 board.
• Play as the goats or as the tigers.
• Change the number of goats, forced capture, who moves first and how many captures the tigers need to win.

Score tracker for real cards
Playing Callbreak with a real deck? Let the app keep score. Tap in each player's bid and tricks, and the last player's tricks fill in so the round adds up to 13. For Dashain games played for money, set what one unit is worth: the winner collects, 2nd pays 1 unit, 3rd pays 2 and 4th pays 3, and a player who ends below zero pays double. Every game is kept in a history with scores, money and running balances, so nobody argues about who owes what.

Play your way
• Bots at Easy, Medium and Hard in every game.
• Pass-and-play on one phone. In the card games, each hand stays hidden until its player takes the phone.
• Games save after every move. Close the app and carry on later.
• A rules screen for each game, with a worked Callbreak scoring example.

Made for Nepal
• Nepali and English, with Nepali numerals (०–९) if you like them.
• Light and dark themes that follow your phone.
• Sound and vibration you can turn off.
• Screen reader support on the Callbreak, Ludo and Bagh Chal tables.
• Plays offline, on a bus or in the village. Only the ads use the internet.
• No account or sign-up needed.

Ads
Khel Baithak is free with ads. You may see a banner on the menus, and a full-screen ad when you start a new game, at most once every three new games. Ads never appear in the middle of a round. In Ludo and Bagh Chal you can watch a short ad to undo a move, and if no ad can load you get the undo anyway. There are no in-app purchases.
