Cozy cafés
Tucked into a candlelit table in Cihangir or Kadıköy, where the coffee refills as often as the dice roll.
Live · Narrator-Led · Istanbul
Istanbul Game Club gathers strategists, storytellers, and first-timers around beautifully designed board games and tabletop RPGs — guided live by a professional game narrator, wherever the city takes us. No fixed address, no skill requirement. Just pull up a chair.
The Collection
Every title in rotation is hand-picked for depth, drama, and the way it plays under a narrator's voice.
Your Guide at the Table
Every session is led live by a professional game narrator — someone who reads the room, escalates the stakes, and turns a rulebook into a plot. Rules fade into the background. What's left is tension, alliance, and the particular thrill of a table that's telling a story together.
The Atmosphere
We don't have a home base — we have a city. Every session finds a new corner of Istanbul worth gathering in.
Tucked into a candlelit table in Cihangir or Kadıköy, where the coffee refills as often as the dice roll.
A blanket, a board, and the Bosphorus breeze — some of our best campaigns have played out with a sea view.
Rooftop terraces, courtyard tables, pop-up nights — if the city has a good corner, we'll find a reason to play there.
Whoever you are, whatever you've played before — you belong at this table. We welcome complete beginners and seasoned strategists alike, and every session opens with a warm, no-pressure rules teach. Come solo, come with friends; you'll leave with both.
The Schedule
Seats are limited to keep every table intimate. Reserve early — sessions lock 24 hours out.
