Kathmandu – City Collection 8 is a language-independent strategic board game from Queen Games, designed by Stefan Feld. In this colorful card game, players collect and combine sets to score points through clever planning and timing.
How do you play?
Each turn, players draft cards from the central market or draw pile to create valuable sets. Unclaimed sets increase in value over time, offering tempting rewards—but at the risk of losing them to another player. Timing your moves and reading your opponents is key to scoring the most points by the end of the game.
Why is this game recommended?
Kathmandu offers a simple ruleset with rich tactical depth. Thanks to its language-neutral components and clear rules in multiple languages, it's ideal for international playgroups. The mix of risk-taking, timing, and tactical card play makes it perfect for families, casual gamers, and Stefan Feld fans alike.
