Lekh Dhumbal is a traditional and popular Nepali card game, played mostly among friends and family during gatherings or festivals. It is a variant of the Dhumbal card game and is especially well-known in rural areas of Nepal.

This game is played using a standard deck of 52 playing cards and can be enjoyed by 2 to 5 players. The game involves forming sets and sequences of cards to reduce the total points in hand.

Objective of the Game

This app is used to replace this lekh where setting cards will automatically calculate using this app. The player who can reduce their score to zero (0) by forming valid sets wins the game.

Rules of the Game

- The goal is to form valid sets (lekh) and reduce the total points in your hand.
