What counts as a board game café in Dhaka

A place built around playing: cafés with games libraries, board game bars, and dedicated game shops with play space. We map community data plus Foursquare's venue directory, since cafés are thinly tagged on the map. What doesn't count: a pub with one chess set, and online-only sellers.

Dhaka sits about 24° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Winter is peak game-night season: dark early evenings, the perfect excuse to gather a group around a table for three hours.

When spots in Dhaka get mapped, they appear here with addresses and hours where recorded. Mapped means listed — no paid placement, no favourites.

Game night smarts for Dhaka

No mapped game spots yet, but the game-night skills work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Book ahead on weekends. Friday and Saturday nights fill up. A quick call or message saves a wasted trip across town.
• Check the party packages. Birthdays and team events at game cafés are excellent. Book ahead — weekends sell out.
• Don't be afraid to lose. Losing a game you just learned is the tuition. The fun is the table, not the score.
• Go on weeknights. Quieter, more table choice, and the staff have time to teach properly. Weeknights are the insider move.
