Tiplu: Nepali Marriage
Amit Sapkota
NEPAL-STYLE MARRIAGE, MADE FOR THE TABLE. Tiplu is a native, made-for-iPhone take on the Nepal-style Marriage card game — the parts that make the real thing fun: reading a full 21-card hand, arranging it by hand, building your own groups, watching the discards, and revealing the Maal card at a table that feels alive. No auto-sort. No forced hints. No pay-to-win. Just the game. PLAY IT YOUR WAY • Solo play for 2–5 seats against Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced bots — a cast of named characters, each with a play style of their own • Solo matches: play five rounds or race to 100 points, with a scoreboard and a rotating deal • The Daily Deal: one deal a day, the same cards for everyone, with a streak and a Game Center leaderboard • Free manual card ordering: drag, group, ungroup, multi-select, and swipe or tap to discard • Nepal-standard three-deck rules with Tiplu, Poplu, Jhiplu, Alter, dublees, and Maal cards • Familiar house-rule switches for seven dublees, Alter, and clockwise play PLAY WITH REAL PEOPLE • Online multiplayer through Game Center — one-tap Quick Match or invite friends • Nearby multiplayer over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, no account needed — every table shows a short code, so friends find the right one • Turn timers keep the game moving; when time runs out, Auto plays the seat until its player is back • Friendly table talk with preset phrases and emotes • Optional multi-round point tallies with shareable results • Optional bot seats to fill out a small group A TABLE WORTH SITTING AT • Physical draw, deal, discard, and pile animations • Public discard history — remember what everyone is collecting, just like the real game • A round-end moment on the felt, then a clear summary with full hands, counted Maal cards, and score equations • Twelve achievements, also in Game Center — from First Win to Eight Dublees • Authentic card-table sounds that respect Silent Mode; independent haptics LEARN IN MINUTES • Three short lessons teach the basics, Maal cards and Marriage, and scoring on the real table • A coached game against friendly bots explains what the table just showed — without telling you what to play MAKE IT YOURS (OPTIONAL) • Included for everyone: the Dashain Aangan and Tihar Aangan festival play spaces and the Tihar Marigold card back • Personal Table Pack: Nepal Heritage illustrated cards, coordinated table themes, card backs, deal effects, sounds, Nepali-attire avatars, and private on-device Insights • Ghar–Aangan Collection: six complete illustrated Nepali play spaces — a handwoven Gundri courtyard, a Galaincha sitting room, a Himalayan verandah, a village Chautari beneath a pipal tree, and more • Tiplu Complete: both collections in one purchase • Table of the week: each week one collection table or finish is open to everyone All rules, game modes, multiplayer, lessons, bots, the Daily Deal, achievements, match history, and accessibility features are included for everyone.
