Grinding is terrible, and that's why you get all 140 cards the second you buy the game and open up the Usloob system in deckbuilding. Stacking cards of the same style activates up to four tiers of passive abilities, almost as an RPG armor set bonus. #wishlistwednesday #indiegames #ALoM

In #ALoM, Traps are one of five card types found in our game and operate purely on spite. You arm them on the board and wait for the moment your opponent gets confident, and triggers based on the effect to destroy their strategy. We'd like to call this weaponized patience. #indiegames

I mean, take a closer look at our new full art layout for cards. It really shows off how we turned a century of geopolitical disaster into a petty gameplay mechanic.

A full art digital playing card titled Borders Drawn By A Toddler. The background illustration features a map of the Middle East drawn over with crude crayon lines dividing the land into A and B. A baby rattle and four crayons rest on the map. The text instructs the opponent to discard two traps. The flavor text reads A child drew it, and we are still paying for it.

A square comic book style illustration of a confident Arab man with a thick black beard and aviator sunglasses sitting on a blue motor scooter. He wears an unbuttoned red patterned shirt and brown pants. He spins a key ring on his right index finger with Arabic text reading "وش!" to indicate a whooshing motion.

"A soft plea that carries a heavy omen." Peak maternal drama treating a canceled lunch like an absolute catastrophe with "Ya Latif!". A card illustration featuring wonderful and authentic Palestinian tatreez from the archival work of Nabil Anani & Sliman Mansour via Tirazain. #indiegame #ALoM

A square comic book style illustration showing an older Arab woman wearing a dark red and black thobe with traditional Palestinian tatreez embroidery. She is reacting with extreme theatrical shock, holding her right hand to her chest with a gasping, wide-eyed expression. A jagged burst of glowing orange and yellow light radiates behind her to emphasize the drama. In her left hand, she holds a smartphone displaying a text message that reads "Mama habibti, I can't come to the family lunch today but pack me a tabarwer of your warak enab". The background features a muted domestic interior with framed pictures and a bookshelf, shaded with prominent halftone dot textures.

A square comic book style illustration depicting an indestructible dark gray brick-style mobile phone from the early 2000s vibrating violently on a light gray table. Motion lines and Arabic text reading "بررر!" and "ززز!" surround the device to show intense buzzing. The phone features an eerily glowing green monochrome screen displaying the Arabic word "امي" above the English word "Answer". From the top speaker grill, a burst of musical notes stylized as sharp purple and blue scimitars and daggers shoots outward toward the upper right corner.

We translated that tea-fueled confusion into gameplay for this Shatara Trap card, as it triggers on an Insult to scramble your opponent's hand into unreadable glyphs, losing them in heavy Libyan slang over a thick, foamy glass of Shahi al-Alla.

A gameplay screenshot from the digital card game Shatara showing a hand of four Za'atar Union cards fanned out across a wooden surface. The Scramble VFX is active, transforming all standard typography, including card titles, mechanical abilities, and flavor text, into unreadable, stylized alien glyphs. While the rules text is scrambled, the central comic book style illustrations remain visible.

"Heard the talk, lost the translation." Unintelligible Dialect features Shahi al-Alla as a potion that induces caffeine jitters and hyper-local dialect fluency. Honestly, this thick, foamy brew might be the reason the rest of the Arab world struggles to keep up with Lybian slang. #indiegame #ALoM

A square comic book style illustration featuring a close-up of a traditional metal teapot pouring a dark stream of tea from a height into two small glass cups sitting on a brass tray. The cups are filled with dark tea topped with a thick, frothy beige foam. Around the vertical stream of poured tea, concentric oval sound ripples radiate outward, containing Arabic Libyan slang text reading "شن الدوة؟", "كنك؟", and "والله كساد".

On top of our main carrying traits known as Usloob, cards also carry a Regional Bloc tag to fuel network mechanics like Call In and add cross-cultural satire: Nile & Couscous Accord, Za’atar Union, Oud Cooperation Council, and Mahjar Coalition (from top left to bottom right). #indiegame #ALoM

A black square image displaying a two-by-two grid of four solid white flat icons representing regional blocs. The top left features a traditional Tajine cooking pot with a conical lid resting on a shallow base. The top right shows a shallow plate filled with Zaatar, featuring a textured serving swirl in the center. The bottom left displays a Mabkhara, a tall geometric incense burner, with two wisps of smoke rising from the top.

We're testing a new card layout for better accessibility and readability. We removed heavy color fills and shifted the Usloob color coding directly into the geometric framing Tell us what you think! #indiegame #ALoM

A vertical trading card design featuring a muted olive geometric frame. The title at the top reads "BORDERS DRAWN BY A TODDLER" in a white box. The central illustration displays a map of the Middle East overlaid with crude red, blue, and green crayon lines forming arbitrary borders. A baby pacifier, a silver rattle, and four crayons rest on the map, alongside faint historical signatures dated May 1916. A green circle icon containing a white tree sits on the left side above the card type "INSULT". The ability section uses a white background with black text stating "Your opponent discards 2 traps from their hand (if they have any)". A colorful geometric pattern line separates the ability from the italicized flavor text reading "A child drew it, and we're still paying for it". The bottom border houses the illustrator credit "Illus. Nazih Fares" on the left, a tier system indicator icon centered directly on the border, and the card number "017/140" on the right

🍬 Gum chewed longer than promises. Under-the-Table Gum is today's Trap card reveal from the Za'atar Union bloc and Shatara Usloob. This sticky trap triggers on the opponent's use of a defense card, to completely negate its effect with a sticky relic of school desk history. #indiegame #ALoM

A square comic book style illustration showing a close-up of a wooden school desk interior. A sweating person's hand has accidentally touched a massive, ancient wad of pink chewing gum molded into the shape of a hot air balloon, stretching sticky, web-like strings of gum between their fingers and the artifact.

🏹 "Shot your arrow? Catch a zinger that snaps it mid-air." Quick Qafsha is our new Shatara Usloob reveal, an Insult card inspired by the Arabic word for spontaneous, sarcastic comeback or zinger, famously used in most 1950-1960s Egyptian movies. #indiegame #ALoM #cardgames #Egypt

A square comic book style illustration showing a suave mustachioed man resembling a 1960s Egyptian cinema acto leaning casually against an arched stone wall in a traditional Cairene courtyard with a fountain. Smiling effortlessly, he uses both hands to snap an incoming wooden arrow in half, triggering a bright orange sound effect bubble with the Arabic text "طَقّ" (or Tak in English). Several other arrows are standing still in the air in the background.

The universal reply when patience runs out. Tozz! is the Ultimate Insult card from the Shatara Usloob. Folkloric etymology traces the word back to the ancient Turkish word for salt, which slowly evolved across the region into the perfect expression of dismissal. #indiegame #ALoM #cardgames

🤬 "Said with love but lands right where it hurts." Ya Hayawan! is our next card showcase. In Arabic etymology, calling someone an animal denies their intellect entirely, and so when you play this Insult card, your opponent's next Insult does absolutely nothing. #indiegame #ALoM #cardgames

A square comic book style illustration showing the Arabic word Hayawen or "حيوان" in stylized, dripping blue and purple graffiti text. The word sits inside a jagged yellow and red pop-art explosion bubble. The background is an orange brick wall with black action lines radiating outward from the bottom.

He is standing atop the massively exaggerated, muscular shoulder and bicep of a giant man. The giant's arm dominates the right foreground.
