What we’re about

Welcome! This group is for people who like to play chess, trivia games, strategy games, cards, etc. with friends. This is a club of friendly players that range from beginner to expert. We're happy to show beginners the rules and basic strategy of chess. There is also a really fun card based variant called 'No Stress Chess' that we play along with 'Bughouse' and 'Chess 960'.

The main focus has been chess and board games, but we're open to suggestions! In the past we've hosted activities like trivia, and pickle ball.
Please feel free to coordinate various games via our Discord here: https://discord.gg/Au8r76PQwz
