Interesting board games to buy with Eid Salami
Getting bored with endless scrolling through social media apps? TBS lists three popular board games you can buy with your Eid Salami to enjoy during your free time
One of the most anticipated aspects of Eid is the Eid salami or Eidi, a gift given by seniors or elders on the day in exchange for a salaam. Although rather dated now, millennials still remember the excitement of receiving eidis from each elder.
For those, who are blessed with amazing relatives and have a lot of salami to spend, here is a list of three popular board games you can buy with the money.
One Night Werewolf
One Night Ultimate Werewolf is a fast-paced game for 3-10 players where everyone is dealt a secret role. Many of these roles come with special abilities that will aid that player in gaining information. In the course of only one night and the following morning, the players will determine who among them is a potential werewolf. One Night Ultimate Werewolf is a condensed version of the party game Ultimate Werewolf that does not require a moderator. There's no elimination, and each game lasts about 10 minutes.

Catan Histories: Merchants of Europe
This board game is a twist on the 2010 release Settlers of America: Trails to Rails from designer Klaus Teuber and publisher Mayfair Games. The gameplay is similar in both games: Players start with three locations on the game board, collect resources depending on a die roll, spend resources to move and build, and branch out to new locations with a long-term goal of delivering goods to opponents' cities. The first player to deliver all of his goods wins the game.

The rule of this game is very simple: Mister X tries to escape his would-be capturers in London by taxi, bus and underground. You have to be a particularly clever detective to be able to catch him. Mister X tries to stay one step ahead of the detectives and keep them guessing about his whereabouts right up until the end of the game, while the detectives try to pick up his trail and track him down.
