Did you know that missing credits can ruin careers, yet countless devs are excluded? Our alpha build for The Arab League of Misfits has a complete credits sequence. It might not be much for some, but all of our contributors (and of course licenses) get attribution on day one. #indiegames #ALoM

One of our Arab League of Misfits ultimate cards Tozz, triggers a massive deck mill, so playing it carries severe risks. Our opponent dropped Tozz to destroy our deck, but they rapidly burned their own health to zero through fatigue damage. Their insult handed us an instant victory.

Updating MeetToMatch as a solo founder feels incredible, especially seeing my own company logo listed alongside massive industry brands . On top of the many panels I'm on, we are actively seeking a publisher for The Arab League of Misfits. Let us connect at Expo Gamers Croatia from May 28 to 30.

The top header displays the Expo Gamers logo on the left and a user profile picture of a person wearing a straw hat and floral shirt on the right. A central white card features an intricate typography logo reading "Le Cabinet du Savoir Ludique de Nazih Fares" above the plain text heading "Le Cabinet du Savoir Ludique" with a star icon. The profile is categorized under "People to meet" for Nazih Fares and indicates it was registered zero days ago. A "Company profile" section describes a solo consultancy assisting game creators from indie teams to AAA giants to communicate authentically with players. An "Is interested in" section explains the studio is developing a multiplayer card duel game featuring a singleplayer narrative adventure mode titled "The Arab League of Misfits". Both text sections end with a "+More" link.

Freshly sketched Overflowing Table comic panel. Arab hospitality is legendary, to a point of guests at the table being stuck there for hours. And so I had the nut idea to "weaponize" this cultural staple in a playstyle for the Arab League of Misfits. Please fund our wit? #ALoM #indiegames
A pencil sketch of a three-panel comic strip in an open sketchbook with a mechanical pencil resting across the top of the page. The first panel features a close-up of a raised hand snapping its fingers, accompanied by action lines and the Arabic word "طق" or "tak" which is similar to the snap onomatopoeia. The second panel shows a man sitting at a table looking totally overwhelmed as a massive quantity of food, including skewered meats and bowls of hummus, rains down on him from an unseen source above. The final panel depicts the same man looking incredibly sick and sweating while clutching a severely bloated stomach. A thought bubble above his head shows a stomach cracking open. An older Arab woman stands in the background laughing at his misery

2 more to go... Today it's Sindbad the Merchant, an ultimate card for our [redacted] type in The Arab League of Misfits. @zein.games gave us the wild idea of turning the high stakes of Arabic haggling into a game mechanic. #ALoM #indiegames
A three-panel pencil sketch illustrates the in-game effect of the Sindbad The Merchant ultimate card in The Arab League of Misfits. In the first frame, an omani man looks distressed while holding a card marked with the number ten. A fortress sits on a hill in the distance. The middle panel shows a heated confrontation between two men over an abacus and scattered coins. In the final scene, the same omani man smiles broadly as the other one uses a pen to cross out the large ten on the card from the first panel

A woman drawn similar to Egyptian 1920-1980s divas sings into a microphone in the middle section, surrounded by floating cards and the Great Sphinx of Giza.

From handmade sketch to digital draft, with some good ressources courtesy of the one and only @kenney.nl #ALoM #indiegame
A screenshot of a The Arab League of Misfits draft user interface for The Arab Almanac section. The screen is split into three main vertical panels against a purple background. The left panel contains a scrollable list of cards including Shami Shuffle, Revolutionary Sandal, and The Voice of Conscience.

The center panel displays the Shami Shuffle card details with a progress bar showing Tier 1 of 4 unlocked. Below the title, a character named Auntie Mona provides a lore description about the Shami Shuffle being the art of leading a dance line with a handkerchief. Three locked lore sections require higher tiers to view. A small icon at the bottom indicates the player is a Za'atar King.

The right panel, titled Card Inspector, shows a large vertical view of the Shami Shuffle card. The card features an illustration of people dancing and a drummer. The text on the card describes an attack ability: Deal 2. If you restored HP last turn, you and your opponent shuffle your hands into your Deck and Draw 5.

A hand-drawn pencil sketch on a white sketchbook page shows three horizontal comic panels. In the top panel, a character in a hooded robe stands with arms outstretched as large stone fragments hitting around them. The middle panel is a close-up of the character's intense face, framed by the hood, with a small olive tree symbol at the center of the composition and speed lines radiating outward. The bottom panel shows the character standing in a rebirthed rocky landscape with a few sparse olive trees under a wide sky.

Today is a hard day, so I took my venting out on a piece of paper as I started sketching more ideas for The Arab League of Misfits. #indiegame #ALoM
Nazih's sketchbook rests on a wooden surface, displaying a three-panel comic pencil sketch. An orange mechanical pencil lies on the right page.

The left panel shows a man with a thick mustache wearing a traditional fez and vest. He looks upward with a stern expression while inhaling a lot of air.

The top-right panel features a close-up of the same man shouting. Beside him, the Arabic word "Toz" is written in a jagged, explosive speech bubble.

The bottom-right panel depicts a different character being blown backward by the force of the shout. His aggal and keffiyeh flies off and playing cards scatter around him as he falls.

These hand-drawn elements include various shapes such as fluffy clouds, jagged starbursts, and smooth speech bubbles. Each callout uses bold black outlines and bright colors including neon green, pink, orange, and purple. The Arabic text represents onomatopoeic sounds and short exclamations common in action sequences like "Boom," "Woosh," and "Take."

It's a lot of doom and gloom these couple of first days of the year, yet seeing the Arab League of Misfits prototype getting close to the finish line with draft music, voiceover and effects gave me so much hope. I'm so thankful for the people behind our project.
The digital tabletop layout for the game Arab League of Misfits prototype rests on a brown surface with a decorative rug border. Various items decorate the board, including a cassette tape, a glass of tea, and two water glasses. The screen displays a large white notification reading TRIGGERED in the center. Active cards on the table include Desert Grit and a purple card titled Tozz which features a black and white caricature. The hand at the bottom contains cards with titles such as Nargileh Shuffle, Extra Toum, Unintelligible Dialect, and Your Mom's Allowance. Scores for two players are visible as the numbers 10 in orange and blue. Cards titled The Voice of Conscience and Banter Session appear in the right corners of the play area.

Let's test this @bsky.app! Here's a shameful The Arab League of Misfits plug while we're at it.

What a beautiful way to wake up and get a message from the lovely @saraalfageeh.bsky.social about The Arab League of Misfits. We're going to be the Arab Avengers at this point

Pitched my game to the first publisher and let me tell you it's strange being on the other side of the industry after all these years. But I'm confident, and hope that funds and publishers will see the value in funding the first culturally grounded Arab card game.
A slide image for the satirical card game "The Arab League of Misfits," created by Cabinet du Savoir Ludique. The left side reads “FUND THIS GAME! Or nobody will, and that would be a shame.” Below that is a yellow box with a mock review: “Finally, a card game that lets you win Arabic family arguments for real” – My mother. On the right is a large black and white logo of the game with a stylized slipper replacing the “I” in “Misfits.” Behind the logo is a faded sketch of the game interface. A small caption under the logo reads: “Yes, that’s a slipper in our WIP logo.” A legal disclaimer at the bottom notes the game is protected under French intellectual property law
