HOW TO PLAY
1

Explain that Al-Qatt Al-Asiri is a traditional geometric wall art style from the Asir region, painted in bold bands of color.

2

One player draws a short sequence of colored geometric bands on paper and shows it to the group for a set time.

3

Hide the drawing, then have each other player try to recreate the exact color sequence and shapes from memory.

4

Reveal the original and compare, scoring one point per correctly remembered band.

5

Rotate who creates the pattern each round, making it slightly more complex each time.

6

Total the points after several rounds to find the sharpest memory in the group.
