abstract	La'b Madjnuni ("Crazy Game") was played in Damascus (Syria) in the late 19th century. It is not known if the game is still a popular pastime. The game was first described by Stewart Culin in 1894 who observed that it was a common game in Syrian cafes. Culin didn't give playable rules and his description of La'b Madjnuni and La'b Rosëya, which is a simplified children's variant of the same game, appears to have many mistakes. A related game called Mangala has been reported from Gaziantep, Southeast Anatolia. Maybe this Mangala is even identical to La'b Madjnuni and all the differences between these two are artifacts created by Culin by his poor understanding. La'b Madjnuni is related to the Egyptian L'ab al-Ghashim.
