3. Fta7o Hal 7adeeth

4. Olesaraha
Olesaraha which translates to “be honest”, is a game featuring thought-provoking cards that encourage you to open up and build deeper connections with the people around you. The first edition consists of creative questions while the second one consists of sentences you must complete.
5. Bitshil Deal

A game that exposes Lebanese stereotypes and bad behaviors. The box includes 400 cards to be handed to the player who has most likely done what’s written on the card.
7. Mafiozé
In this game suitable for 6 to 20 players, each person is secretly assigned either the role of “Mafia” or “Bari2”. In order to stay alive, civilians (Abriya2) must use their lying and manipulation abilities to unmask mafia members.
8. El Mamnou3 Marghoub
Before time runs out, each member should make their teammates guess as many fun Lebanese words as they can, without using the forbidden clues written on the card. It’s “the game of unspeakable fun”!
9. L3ab Aw Chrab
Each card presents a hysterical dare. You either do it or drink a shot. “Free Skip” cards are available for boring players who are not up for the challenge.
10. Khortouch Bortouch
The package designed and produced in Lebanon comes with numbered cards, “khartich” cards, clips, and markers. You must draw the scenario from the “scenario card” you randomly pick and pass the drawing to the player on your left. The player with the funniest drawings or guesses wins!
