Gatta

Gatta, also known as the five stones game, is played with a handful of small stones or seeds tossed and caught in a sequence of increasingly tricky patterns. It's a game of rhythm, timing, and dexterity that's been played on porches and playgrounds across Nepal for generations.

How it's played

Players use five small stones (or similar small objects) held in one hand.
A stone is tossed in the air while the player picks up or rearranges the others before catching it.
Each round introduces a harder pattern; missing a catch usually ends your turn.
Play typically continues around a group, with the highest round reached deciding the winner.
Playable right now, solo — tap the stone to toss it, then grab the required ground stones before it lands.
