Remember those good old days when weekends meant playing board games with family and friends? Well, we’ve got some really good news for UAE residents. The first-ever Emirati board game- Conqueror: Final Conquest, is now here to take you back in time! Who’s making weekend plans already?
Meanwhile, have you checked out Dubai’s Unwind cafe? The cafe houses over 500 board games and you can play while you wait for your order or as you eat.
What’s It?
Emirati’s own board game Conqueror: Final Conquest, will take you back to the third century. The game pits the great empires of Carthage, Rome, Egypt and Sparta and others against one another in a battle for dominance. The game is played by three or six players who battle it out after the roll of a dice. Players fight it out to expand their territories, and recruit armies.
The game’s website gives a history of Rome’s Julius Caesar, Egypt’s Ramses II, Sparta’s Leonidas, and the Iceni Celts ruled by Queen Boudica. The board game costs AED 269 and over 100 units of the game are already sold on pre-order.
What Else?
Dubai now has its own Monopoly board, making it the first city in the Middle East to boast such a feat. The city’s iconic attractions like the Bluewaters, Dubai Airport, Burj Khalifa, Atlantis the Palm, Jumeirah Emirates Towers, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Dubai Marina, Madinat Jumeirah, and much more are featured in the game.
Winning Moves, manufacturers of the official Dubai version of Monopoly, said: “We are thrilled to bring the official Dubai Monopoly board game to residents and tourists of the region. This edition will be everything you love about the traditional game, adapted in a way that Dubai will enjoy for generations to come.”
This is not the first time UK-based Winning Moves is creating a customized city edition. Previously, city-themed editions include: Dublin (Ireland), Leon (France), Krakow (Poland) and Sydney and Melbourne (Australia) and Durban (South Africa).
We are all excited to play the world’s most popular game in a way that pays tribute to all things Dubai!
