Kuwaiti Election Card Game

question_markTantalizingly uninformative source indicates the following:

  • It’s called “Ballot Box”.
  • The inventor is named Mohammad Al-Shanfa.
  • The cards are numbered 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150 or 200 votes each.
  • Players are allowed to exchange cards in order to collect the largest number of votes during the ballot count, but only one exchange can be made in a single round.
  • An Egyptian publisher might be marketing it soon.

And that’s it.
