CLEAN:Ramadan has Iraqi locales playing decades-old game

Maïbès is a traditional Iraqi game played mainly during Ramadan nights. It involves strategy, bluff, and patience, and serves as a social event for communities. The game faced challenges due to the 2003 American invasion and subsequent violence, which restricted nighttime activities. As security improves, Maïbès is making a comeback. The game is seen as a unifying force among Iraqis, transcending sectarian divides. There are calls for government support to preserve this cultural heritage.
