How it works

  1. Host a game

    Pick a game, a time and a café. Set how many players you need, the language you'll play in and your budget.

  2. Players nearby ask to join

    Your game shows up in their feed with how far away it is. You see each player's languages and nationality before you accept.

  3. Meet up and play

    Everyone in your squad gets notified when you accept them and when the game starts. Then it's just you, the table and the cards.

Games you can host

From Gulf card classics to family favourites. The host picks the game, the number of players and the language you'll play in.

  • Uno
  • Tarneeb
  • Baloot
  • Trex
  • Poker
  • Phase 10
  • Chess
  • Monopoly
