Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
There’s a guy trying to form a Magic: The Gathering league in Dubai, where guys still can’t admit to women that they play games and where Magic and Pokemon cards are looked at suspiciously by customs authorities as possible sorcery tools.
The guy’s name? Omar Sharif. No, not that one, although that one was a famous Bridge player.

Hey there,
Oh dear, I haven’t played MTG for years. I’d love to play some again though. Where is this league held?
Please email me with some info!
Cheers,
Omid
Hmm, I seem to have the wrong link here, and no one told me! I’ll correct it.

this site has all the info about when/what we play. There is a longstanding league here & that article implies more hostility towards the game than is correct, i just bought a bunch of stuff thru customs & the guy thought it was a bit strange but was cool with it. He didn’t ask me any weird questions or take me to a room for questioning.
also we are playing today at the Rydges plaza hotel on Al Dhyiafa st in Al Hudaiba (next to satwa) we will be getting together around 6pm. When you go in the main doors go thru the lobby past Aussie legends turn right & we play in the cafe next to the irish pub. We play tues & thurs from 7pm & sat’s from 6pm.

Unless the Magic scene that I set up and was running well until last year has now gone, it should have a relatively viberant Magic scene.
Try Rydges Plaze on Thursday or Wednesday. It is a good level of play mainly dominated by Filipinos

anyone know where to buy talisman board game?
are there kids who play magic my son is 11 and he is a collector and player looking for kids only to play with.
never heard of talisman board game, guess im not a fan of board games, but for magic the gathering TCG i can say that there aren’t many kids playing it, most players in UAE are professional, adult man/woman. :D
