Bagh Chal: Chautari

Play Nepal's classic tiger and goat game in 3D. Face the computer, a friend on the same phone, or a friend online, in English or Nepali.

Bagh Chal (बाघचाल) is the traditional tiger and goat game of Nepal, played for generations on village chautaris. Now you can play it in 3D, under the old peepal tree, beside Phewa Lake, or high on Mt Everest.

HOW IT WORKS Four tigers hunt twenty goats on a five-by-five board. The goat player places goats and then moves them, trying to trap every tiger. The tiger player jumps over goats to capture them, and wins by capturing five. Easy to learn, deep to master.

WAYS TO PLAY • Against the computer: choose your side and a difficulty level. • Two players on one phone: pass the screen and take turns. • Online with a friend: share a room code and play on separate devices. No account needed.

THREE WORLDS • The village chautari, with its stone platform, wooden board and two elders playing. • Phewa Lake, with the water and mountains of Pokhara. • Mt Everest, in snow and wind. Change the time of day and the weather, and switch between 3D and a simple flat board whenever you like.

IN ENGLISH AND NEPALI The whole game works in English or Nepali, and the spoken voices can be set separately from the text, so you can read in one language and listen in the other.

SMOOTH ON YOUR PHONE The game adjusts its picture to your phone to stay smooth and keep it cool.

PRIVATE AND FREE No accounts, no ads, no purchases, no tracking. Online play uses only a display name you choose. Voice chat during an online game is optional and is never recorded.
