Game of Belut

Done with your fasting and dinner and don’t know what to do? Call buddies home for a game of Belut. Yes, there can’t be a better pastime in the holy month. For the uninitiated, it’s a popular card game in Saudi Arabia — a slight variant of the French card game Belote. Young and old alike play Belut, which entails four people, two to a team.
