Muhammad and Farid have met at the same restaurant every year for over twenty years. They know the waiter. They know the menu. They know each other. What they don’t know is how to stop insisting. Inspired by the Middle Eastern ritual of taarof, this local 2-player game turns exaggerated politeness into physical comedy. Open the door. Order the food. Take the first bite. Pay the bill. Simple moments become tense standoffs as both players try to let the other go first. Kindness becomes competition. Politeness becomes pressure. How far will you go to prove you care?
