Together

Community

over 600 people play here. Some come for a tournament and some come to be taught a game they have never heard of, and both end up at the same tables.

Walking in

Nobody here started out knowing anybody

A room full of regulars is intimidating from the door and never once you are through it. This is what to expect.

  • Turn up on your own

    Most people do at least once. Sit at a table that needs another player and that is the whole introduction.

  • Not knowing the rules is normal

    Say so and the table teaches you. Everyone at a game night expects to be explaining something to somebody.

  • As competitive as you want

    Tournaments three nights a week for people who came to win, and tables where nobody is keeping score.

  • Nothing to book

    Walk in. No membership and no sign up, and upstairs no charge beyond 47 AED each in the kitchen.

How to be in it

The WhatsApp groups hear first

Nights get arranged there before they are posted anywhere. There are two of them, so nobody ends up with a phone full of messages about a game they do not play.

Billiard
Tournament nights, who is short a player, and the results afterwards.
Board games
Game nights, what is being taught this week, and whatever new box has arrived.

Ask Hiba, our manager, to add you to either or both. Message us, or say so next time you are in.

Every week

There is almost always something on

Billiard tournaments three nights a week, Catan on Tuesdays, and a storyteller running Blood on the Clocktower on Wednesdays. Beginners are genuinely welcome at all of them.

Your night

Bring us something to run

A tournament in a game we have never hosted, a campaign that needs a room, a monthly meetup. Plenty of what is on the calendar is there because somebody asked.

Tell us what you have in mind and we will find a night that is not already busy, put it in front of the community, and set the room up for however many turn up.

Tell us your idea

Hiba and Georgios did not want a venue people pass through. They wanted regulars, rivals and friends, which is a thing you build rather than open.

Good questions

Questions about turning up

Coming on your own, learning a game, and hearing about the next one.

Every question, in one place
Can I come on my own?

Yes, and people do it every week. Game nights in particular are built for it: you sit down at a table that needs another player and that is the whole introduction. Nobody has to arrive with a group to end up in a game.

What if I do not know how to play?

Then someone teaches you, which is how most people here learned. Say so when you sit down and the table will walk you through it. The weekly nights are the easiest way in, because everyone at them expects to be explaining the rules to somebody.

What runs every week?

Billiard tournaments on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. Catan community night every Tuesday at 7 PM, and Blood on the Clocktower every Wednesday at 7:30 PM. Tournament nights can move for holidays and championships, so it is worth checking before you set out.

How do I hear about events?

They go up on the events page, and the WhatsApp community hears first. There are separate groups for billiard and for board games, so ask Hiba, our manager, to add you to whichever you want, or ring 055 606 3002.

Can I run my own event or tournament here?

Yes, and plenty of people do. Tell us what you have in mind and we will help you find a night that is not already busy, put it in front of the community, and set the room up for however many turn up.

Keep going

Come and meet everyone

Turn up, order something, and say it is your first time. That is genuinely all it takes.
