Chess
The classic game of chess, originating in older games from ancient India, is a widely popular sport the world over for its in-depth strategy and easy-to-learn play style. The game comes in 2- and 4-player variations and is a fantastic way to pass the time with friends and family.
Our weekly chess tournaments are held every Thursday night and
winners can receive up to $100 in prize money!
Backgammon
One of the oldest board games in existence, backgammon's
ancestors can be traced back to nearly 3000 B.C.E. In many parts of
the world, backgammon is still exceedingly popular for its quick,
easy, yet terrifically strategic play.
Our backgammon club meets Monday nights in our backroom.
Tournaments are held once every three months for special and unique
prizes.
Chinese Checkers
Although it's really neither from China nor based on checkers,
this is a much beloved family classic for its fast paced
gameplay with endless oppourtunity for marble or peg hopping
madness.
We host a small chinese checkers tournament once a month with
brackets for games of one on one, two on two, and three on
three.
Go
The ancient Chinese game of Go is a remarkably strategic game of
territories and influence, played on a grid of up to 16x16 (though
beginners will often opt for a much more manageable 8x8).
We offer bi-monthly Go tournaments in house and are planning to
launch our own online Go server in the next few months.
Xiangqi
This Chinese cousin to the classic chess game is considerably
more advanced and challenging. It includes additional features to
the board, such as a dividing river in the middle and a group of
intersections called a 'castle' in each opposing side.
Although we earnestly support the proliferation of Xiangqi play in our area, we do not yet offer any official tournament settings for the game.
Shogi
The Japanese variant on the chess family, this game features a
larger board and strategic methods of game-piece promotion. It is
still widely played in many regions around the world, despite the
gripes that many have over the use of kanji characters on the
pieces
Although we earnestly support the proliferation of Shogi in our area, we do not yet offer any official tournament settings for the game.
