Arabian Struggle is a card-driven conflict game set in the Arabian Peninsula in the early years of the 20th Century. Three Players each play one faction seeking to gain power over Arabia: the Hashemites, the Rasheedis, and the Saudis. Each faction must deal with the other two factions, along with considerable interference of two non-player empires, the Ottomans and the British.
A two player variant uses only the Hashemites and Saudis- the Rasheed's become a non-player element, like the empires. A game consists of 3 ears: Pre-War, Great War, and Post-War. Eras comprise up to 6 rounds each, with each faction taking one turn per round.
The game can end early by competing an end-of-era win victory condition.
