The Friday Night Social: Meet People Over Board Games
**Don't spend another Friday night scrolling through your phone.**
While the rest of the city is stuck in the same old "dinner and a movie" routine, a whole community is gathering right here in Muwaileh to do something different. We are turning strangers into friends over dice, cards, and great food.
**The Mission: Meet New People & Play Board Games** This isn't just about gaming; it’s about connection. If you’ve been looking for a way to break out of your bubble and **meet new people** in a relaxed, low-pressure environment, this is it.
**What to Expect:**
* **The "Open Library" Access:** We are unlocking our massive collection of **board games**. Whether you want a laugh-out-loud party game or a deep strategy session, the choice is yours.
* **No Experience Needed:** Don't know the rules? No problem. We have plenty of easy-to-learn games, and our community is super welcoming to beginners.
* **Solo or Group:** Most people come alone! Our host will greet you, introduce you to the group, and get you seated at a table immediately.
**The FOMO Reality:** Every Friday you skip is a night of laughter and new connections you won’t get back. Don't be the one watching our Instagram stories from your couch wishing you had come out.
**The Details:**
* **Entry:** Free Entry. (We just ask that you support the venue by ordering dinner or drinks while you play).
* **Time:** 7:00 PM onwards.
* **Location:** Game Knights Cafe, Muwaileh.

The War Room: Intro to War Gaming at The Arcane Foundry
**⚔️ Introduction to Wargaming & Painting Miniature Soldiers at The Arcane Foundry ⚔️**
Join me in **The War Room at [The Arcane Foundry](https://share.google/S5i6DYJnJteHWeKtd)** for a laid-back evening of hobby talk and tabletop fun! For just **$25**, you’ll get a **3D-printed regiment of 20 high quality resin models** of your choice to paint — a **$40-70 value!** Bring your creativity, relax, and let’s make something awesome together.
This is a limited time promotional offer. All regiments are made to order and require **4-5 hours of production time**, so please give me at least a **5 day notice**, so I can have them ready for you!
All miniatures are printed with a commercial license.
**Choose one from Below:**
* 20 Empire Soldiers
* 20 Dwarf Warriors
* 20 Elf Spearmen
Step into a world where strategy meets artistry — and where every painted figure tells a story of battle, honor, and imagination. Join **Daclaud** at **The Arcane Foundry** for an evening that introduces newcomers and enthusiasts alike to the timeless craft of **tabletop wargaming** and **miniature painting**.
My own journey began with a fascination for fantasy — knights in armor, grim and hardened warriors, and monstrous creatures locked in epic battle. That passion led me to **Dungeons & Dragons**, where I painted my first **Basic Heroes set** and felt the spark that comes from bringing a character to life in miniature form. Not long after, I discovered **Warhammer Fantasy** and **Warhammer 40,000**, and I was hooked. The vision of vast armies clashing across the table — each unit meticulously painted, each story unfolding through dice and imagination — became my creative obsession.
During this event, we’ll explore the **origins of wargaming**, from its early military simulations to the richly detailed worlds of modern tabletop battle systems. You’ll learn how to **build and customize your own armies**, paint your first figures, and experience the joy of turning strategy and storytelling into a hands-on art form.
Whether you’re drawn by the lore, the hobby, or the thrill of commanding miniature legions, this introduction will open the gates to a world that has captivated hobbyists for generations.
**🎨 RSVP today and join us at The Arcane Foundry — where every brushstroke and battle tells a story.**
