An Arabic Edition of Culture Cards? Help us make it.

Arab hospitality is not a custom — it is a competitive sport with complex rules, high stakes, and a grandmother who is keeping score. An Arabic Edition of Culture Cards would be built for the diaspora that grew up navigating that world: the three-hour lunches that cannot end until everyone has refused dessert twice and then accepted it, the family gathering where your achievements are announced to forty people whether you wanted them to be or not, the specific art of the Arab compliment that is also a gentle critique, and the qahwa that appears in your hand before you have even finished sitting down.

The Arab diaspora spans every continent and dozens of countries of origin, but it shares a core vocabulary of family intensity, legendary generosity, and humor about the gap between public performance and private chaos. From Cairo to Riyadh to Beirut to Amman to the suburbs of Detroit and Sydney — there are stories at every table. We want to make a game that draws them out. Sign up and tell us this needs to exist.

Cards that might be in the deck

Demonstrate the correct way to refuse food three times before accepting it at an Arab family gathering.
Name every title or honorific your family uses in casual conversation. You have one minute.
What is the one thing your parents told the neighbors about you that you only found out about years later?
Everyone at the table: describe a family car trip where the GPS was ignored in favor of a relative's directions. What happened?
What is your family's signature dish, and what would happen at a gathering if it did not appear?

Just a taste — the real deck would be shaped with the Arabic community.

Frequently asked

Is the Arabic Edition available yet?

Not yet — it's a future edition we're eager to develop. Given how vast and varied the Arab diaspora is, we want to build it carefully and with real community input. Signing up is how you become part of that process.

How do you decide which editions to make?

Demand and community input. We track signups per edition and build accordingly. An Arabic Edition has enormous potential reach — and we'll move faster if we can see that the community wants it.

First up: the Telugu Edition is in pre-order now, with the Persian Edition next in line.
