Mheibes

Mheibes (Arabic: محيبس) is a traditional game involving two teams.

It is mostly played in the Arab Mashriq, and specifically in Iraq and it is roughly equivalent to the English game Up Jenkins .

The game begins with a player going around the team, to give the ring to one person, trying to prevent the other team from knowing which player holds the ring.

The other team must then nominate a player, who has only one guess to find out who is holding the ring.

The decision is based on studying the facial expressions of each team member.
