In Nepal I played a complex trick-taking gambling whist-type card game with the locals. What was it called?


Travel Info
The game involved predicting the number of tricks you would get. The more you went for the more points you would get - if you got them. The game had lots of special rules. It wasn't contract whist or nomination, both of which I know well. I think it may only be played in Nepal. By memory (which may be flawed, it was 10 years ago) it began with a K. It was a great game and I'd love to re-learn it. If I could find out the name then I'm sure the rules are online somewhere - or better still if someone knows the rules.....

The name is called "Callbreak" phonetically in Nepali. I have no idea where the name came from. I know the game and it's definetely interesting. It's basically like Spades but without a partner and you can not bid 0 or double zero as in bridge.

I am from Nepal but i don't understand what is going on here. Probably coz i am not a card fan.
just guessing is it kalbret. i don't know the exact spelling. but there is this game with that pronunciation.
Hi,
This game is quite interesting and it is called CallBreak. You have to make the bid like in bridge but it is without partner. Once you have Break even the Call you have made you will get the point however if you are unable to Break even your Call you will earn negative points. This continues for 5 rounds and the person with the highest number of points wins the game.
