Momo - The Nepali Card Game

You know that feeling of waiting for momos.

The steam rising. The anticipation. Everyone at the table distracted, restless, hungry. Tato tato — hot, hot — because in Nepal, when something is good, you say it twice.

That is exactly when you play this game.

Momo is a fast-paced Nepali card game for 2 to 8 players, designed by Alchi — Nepal's leading cultural game studio. It is easy to learn, impossible to put down, and designed for exactly the kind of gathering where people are already happy and just need something to do with their hands while they wait for the food.

The game challenges players to spot patterns, match sets, and think faster than the person sitting next to them. The kind of thinking that feels like play but quietly sharpens your mind every time you do it.

It works at a family dinner. It works at a momo party. It works on a school holiday afternoon when screens are banned and everyone needs something to do together.
