The best news? There are zero screens. Just pure, fun, interactive, face-to-face gaming.
No matter what you’re into – timeless classics like chess, backgammon, and Rummikub, or modern strategy games, trading cards, or fantasy-fuelled RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, this immersive festival has something for every level of player. And yes, it doesn’t matter what age you are. Kids, adults, casual fans and hardcore hobbyists are all invited.

‘How many games are we talking about?‘ you ask…
Well, the 7,300 square meter space will showcase a whopping 250+ games, including international titles that will be available in Arabic.
And of course, to keep things fair and fun (yes, we’re looking at you, UNO rule-benders), over 100 gaming gurus will be on hand to guide you through the rules, teach you new games, and maybe even help you discover your next favourite.
Beyond the gameplay, you can also enjoy a bustling Artist Alley, live RPG performances, workshops, talks, and more.
Speaking on the event, Mark Azzam, founder of tabletop.me, commented, “tabletop.me is more than just another consumer-based convention; it’s your invitation to meet, play, and discover stories, friendships, and fun through tabletop gaming, across every table!”
