After a short break, Hekayyatna is here to play some games.
Join us for our next Hekayyatna event, where we’ll explore the fascinating history, culture, politics, and fun behind the games of the SWANA region. From the sounds of Tawle backgammon in almost every cafe to card games like Baloot or Rammy, we’ll dive into the allure of games and how they transcended borders and generations. Did you know that ‘Shāh māt’ شاه مات is the Persian phrase for the ‘King is helpless’, which eventually came into English as ‘checkmate’?
But that’s not all! In addition to our usual discussions, chats and snippets of knowledge, we’ll have a trivia showdown to test your knowledge and win exciting prizes. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a curious newcomer, we promise some fun, camaraderie, and a celebration of the universal language of games.
