The pair-and-draw card game, online with friends
Jhayesh (جحيش) is a quick card game for 2 to 7 players, much like Old Maid. You pair off cards, draw blindly from your neighbour's hand, and whoever is left holding the last King loses: they are the jhayesh, "the donkey". Play it in your browser, with no download and no account.
