Arabs being Arabs have unorthodox priorities in life ... playing Tarneeb magically tops the list. Accompanied with a shisha and lots of snacks, a simple deck of cards will get you going all night long without you realizing it.

Now, you will encounter some unfortunate events if you're an avid Tarneeb player ... some you won't be able to get over, and others could possibly ruin friendships...

Here are just a few of them:

1. When your luck decides to abandon you

High cards? Who might ever need these for a game of Tarneeb? 

2. When extraordinary fights ensue

You have been warned ... Tarneeb with Arabs will never end well, never. 

If you don't watch your partner carefully, they might end up murdering you with cold blood, no regrets.

3. When playing with the elderly is always a risk

Good luck convincing your father, uncle, grandpa, or any elderly that you know how to play ... especially if you make them lose a round.

4. When trust is lost

The tweet above should be an Arab proverb, one to follow for a good life. 

5. When you feed on instant noodles for life

If your mother discovers online VIP Tarneeb, you'll have two choices: You either pick up a cookbook for homemade food, or instant noodles will be all you'll ever eat again.

6. When meeting the nagging enemy becomes more frequent

Filtering friends is a necessity in life in general ... but it becomes even more important while playing Tarneeb.

You're sitting at the table with people you thought were friends, until one infidel complains about how li5a is better.

7. When your deck of cards might not always be complete

Or if you're too unlucky, you get the wrong kind of deck and ruin the night.

8. When you can't find the fourth player

You're out with friends and suddenly decide to pull out the deck of cards to play Tarneeb ... but there are only three of you. 

Start calling your friends at 2 a.m. and prepare to have them hang up fast.

To avoid all the hassles mentioned above, try your luck with VIP Tarneeb ... a mobile game to keep on your phone for any random dire situation.
