    Not so!  The middle east is fairly afloat with games and sports... most 
of which were taken from other areas (mancala, eighteen variations on chess 
that I've been able to find, and a rather sedate version of tablero, to name 
a few).  LOL.  So if you mean "native" games and sports, you are quite 
correct.
