Best games for Ramadan nights and Eid gatherings

4 November 2026 · Jakoz Gaming

Ramadan nights and Eid are the busiest weeks for games in the Gulf. After Iftar and Taraweeh, families and friends gather until Suhoor, and during Eid the whole family is in one house. Here are the games that work best, and how to bring in the relatives who can't be there.

After Taraweeh: the card table

Baloot is the classic Ramadan night game for adults: four players, endless banter and matches that last until Suhoor. Speed ♠ is a faster alternative when you have only half an hour. Baloot rules · Speed rules.

The family table: Jakaro and Ludo

Jakaro mixes ages well: teams of two mean a young player can partner an uncle who knows the tricks. Ludo is perfect for the children while the adults play cards. How to play Jakaro.

Quick duels: Dama

Waiting for the next card game? A quick round of Dama (checkers) between two cousins fills the gap.

Family abroad? Play online together

Many families have a brother studying abroad or cousins in another city. With an online game and voice chat they can still sit at the same table:

1. Open Jakoz on any phone, no download needed.
2. Pick Baloot, Jakaro or Ludo and tap Play with friends.
3. Send the link in the family WhatsApp group. Everyone joins in one tap and talks while they play.

The Eid Majlis

Not everyone wants to play. A Majlis voice room lets up to 8 relatives just talk, share Eid greetings and catch up, from anywhere in the world.

Keep it friendly

On Jakoz coins are only for fun and looks, never real money, and rude words in chat are hidden automatically, so it stays a game for the whole family (ages 13+ for chat).
