Playing Card
Balot Balot is a popular card game in Saudi Arabia. A lot of people like to play it, from old men to young boys. The game has become a tradition for young people. They play it anywhere: in front of the sea, in coffee shop and in their apartments. Balot has a basic set of rules all players have to learn suits and apply. Before play one must have 4 players and 32 cards from the ace to the 7 in all suits. The game has two different styles, San and Hokom.
