Alternate Reality Games

Come join us for board games! All are welcome, you don't need to know the games in advance because we'll give rules introductions before starting each game. We have a huge collection, and everyone is welcome to request or bring new games (so long as at least one person knows how to play it!) We have no fees, but please show appreciation for our hosts by ordering food and drink from their menu. We generally start at around 7 and keep going as long as people want to. If you come along later that's fine too. See you there!

Come as you are. Bring your curiosity! The **Arcane RPG Guild UAE** is a community for people who love the craft of tabletop storytelling — the design behind it, the decisions inside it, the worlds that come out of it. You don't need to be an experienced player. You just need to care about good stories. This session we have a full evening lined up. * **👋 Meet & Greet** If it's your first time, welcome. If you're a regular, bring someone new. We open session with informal introductions — a good way to find out who's at the table and what they're working on. * **📰 TTRPG News** What's been happening in the tabletop world? We share releases, announcements, and things worth paying attention to. No prep needed — just bring anything you've noticed. * **🔨 World Forge —** we will discuss full original setting to the table: *ExM:roya* — a hard sci-fi TTRPG about giant mechs, fragile pilots, and a galaxy fractured by a single discovery: matter from outside our universe that releases near-unlimited energy. Whoever controls it controls everything. This isn't a pitch. It's a working session. We look at the setting, the custom system, the design decisions — and the community helps stress-test it. What's working? What questions does it raise? What would you want to explore as a player? * **🌐 Community & Platform Discussion** How do TTRPG communities build and sustain themselves online? We're opening the floor to talk about platforms, tools, and what actually works for groups like ours — locally and across the region. 💰 **Free event** \-\- just grab a coffee or a bite at **Caféine Club** to support the venue hosting us. 🕖 May 14, at 7:00 PM 📍 Caféine Club UAE See you at the table. 🎲

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.

The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~20 per person. Soft drink refills are 1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group! The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play. Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes. We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area. Parking can sometimes fill esrly. There is additional parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.
