About EverestBuzz Network
EverestBuzz Network is a small company based in St. Charles, Missouri. We make free online versions of the card and board games many Nepali families grew up with, and we build useful tools around them.
Why we made it
Marriage, Jhyap and Callbreak are usually played around one table, most of all during Dashain and Tihar. Many of us now live a long way from that table. EverestBuzz lets friends and family in different cities sit at the same game. One person opens a private table, shares a short code, and everyone joins from a phone or a computer. There is nothing to download.
We also wanted clear rules in one place. Every family plays these games a little differently, and new players often learn by being told off for a mistake. Each game here has a written guide that matches what the game does on screen, so you can learn before you sit down.
What you will find here
- Nine games. Marriage, Jhyap (Dhumbal), Callbreak, Kitti, Jutpatti, Fallaas, Baagh Chaal, Jhandaa Burja and Gullaam Chor. Play against the computer to practise, or open a table for friends.
- How-to-play guides. A step-by-step guide for every game, with scoring and beginner tips.
- Free tools. A Preeti to Unicode converter for Nepali text, and a Marriage points calculator for games played with real cards. Both are under Tools.
- Travel and local guides. A trip checklist and world globe, and a local guide for St. Charles and the St. Louis area.
- Stories. The blog covers the games, the festivals they belong to, and practical how-tos.
Points only, always
Every game on EverestBuzz is played for points and nothing else. There is no entry fee, no betting, and no cash prize. Stars are free game points that you earn by finishing online rounds. They have no money value and cannot be bought, sold, transferred or exchanged. Games such as Fallaas, which are played for stakes in some places, are offered here as a simple hand contest with no pot.
Accounts and online tables are for adults aged 18 and over. Playing against the computer needs no account at all.
How we handle your information
We ask for as little as we can. An email address is enough to sign in or to open a guest table. Your email is never shown to other players. The full details are on the Privacy page, and the house rules for accounts and chat are on the Terms page.
Who runs it
The site is run by EverestBuzz Network LLC, a Missouri company. Alongside the games, the company builds websites, short videos and hands-on AI help for small businesses. You can read about that work on the For Business page.
The world globe on the Travel page uses Natural Earth map data, drawn with the open-source D3 and TopoJSON libraries.
