El Wasta Card Game
I created characters for El Wasta card game."El Wasta" is arabic for nepotism. The action cards are five characters based in Saudi Arabia. Each character allows the player to demand coins, give away coins, miss turns or other. Characters are labelled "El-Cash" the rich guy, "El-Daboos" the spy, "El-Faza'a" the lawyer, "El-wasel" the well-connected and "El-hamoor" the stocks broker. I designed the characters and cards for the game as a commission.
