Hajj Journey Board Game

I just saw this game in my daughter's shop. She's always up to something! I just love this game! Check out the arabic number die. How cool is that? The playing pieces are cute too. Funny story; when I was a kid growing up my parents always called the playing pieces "bonhomme(s)". I grew up thinking that was the proper word until one day I went to my english friend's home and said "which bonhomme are you going to pick" and she asked what on earth I was talking about. I pointed to the playing pieces and she told me no one calls them bonhomme(s). Sigh...sometimes its so funny to grow up with french parents who only teach you random french words that make you look like a weirdo later on.
