A new generation of boardgames
Boardgame Communities in UAE
Tabletop Cafe
We love tabletop games and we want to showcase the benefits of playing games as an adult. We want to build a strong & social community in the UAE and share our love for games to new people. Tabletop gaming is an interactive and social experience that activates your brain in ways other entertainment mediums can not. People connect more with each other when engaged in a fun activity together. It’s a chance to unplug from modern technology and have fun. The board game industry is growing and we want to show people that there is so much more to the hobby than Monopoly and Trivial Pursuit. There is a game for everyone.
Gulf Roleplaying Community
Connecting tabletop roleplayers and gamers throughout the Arabian Gulf. We aim to:
- Provide forums for people to find tabletop roleplayers, wargamers and boardgamers throughout the Gulf region.
- Help organise Gulf-wide roleplaying events.
- Do this for any gamer in the Arabian Gulf.

Geeky Lizard
Geeky Lizard is owned by Omar Ahmad Sharif, a 31 year-old Emarati. As a child, he was interested in hobby gaming but never got the chance to pursue it, as it was not established properly in his country until much later.
Growing up, Omar was known for his artistic and ‘geeky’ hobbies. He always wanted a place where hobby gamers can meet and play the games they all enjoy.
May it be comic books, table top miniature wargaming, role playing, or card games, if you're a geek, Geeky Lizard and its owner Omar welcomes you!
Battlezone
BattleZone opened its doors early 2011, since then we have grown to be the leading UAE-based retailer of hobby products including collectible card games, fantasy miniatures, role-playing games, fantasy novels and gaming accessories.
With a focus on superior service and long-term relationships, we are able to deliver quality products and services such as weekly events. Our aim is to provide a community hub and one-stop-shop for all hobby gamers in the UAE. We are supporting local gaming communities and with 200+ events organized every year we have been successful in ensuring their growth and development.
