Having spent many nights in the shisha cafes of Saudi Arabia playing competitive belote, Mark Dawson, an English teacher, decided to come up with a card game that was just as cut-throat and quick that his fellow Saudi brothers would love to play.  Enter Deaths of Athazar, a card-shedding game that's authentically Middle Eastern.   The game combines the quickness of Uno, the decision-making of Magic the Gathering, and the mechanics of something totally new.  The people of the Middle East love their card games, and Deaths of Athazar is an easy game that will surely bring friends closer or make them lifelong enemies.
