Nepali Games: Callbreak & Ludo

Forty-two card, board and puzzle 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.
• Last Card: match the colour, the number or the symbol, and be first to empty your hand. Every colour is a shape too, for players who cannot tell red from green.
• Gin Rummy: the rummy for two. Knock at ten, lay off onto the other hand, and watch for the undercut.
• Poker: Texas Hold'em, two cards each and five on the board, with blinds, side pots and no limit betting. Against the computer or friends online, for chips that buy nothing.
• Solitaire and TriPeaks: Klondike, Spider, FreeCell and three peaks, with undo, hints and a deal a day for all of Nepal.
• Kitti, Dhumbal, Jutpatti, Gulam Chor, Teen Patti (Flash), In Between, 29, Dehla Pakad, 3-2-5, Rummy, Spades, Hearts and Blackjack.

BOARD AND DICE GAMES
• Carrom: the board most homes here have, by the International Carrom Federation's rules. Slide the striker, aim, pull back and let go, and pocket your men and the queen first. Against the computer, with friends online, or up to four people round one phone.
• Chess: a computer at eight levels, beginner to expert, and a clock for games online.
