What we’re about
Old game, new friends.
I started this group because I missed the sound of dice hitting the board and the kind of conversations that only happen over a good backgammon match. This isn’t a tournament scene — it’s for people who want to unwind, meet others in the city, and keep an old tradition going.
We meet up in cafés, parks, and bars around Chicago with a couple of boards, a few open seats, and no pressure. Whether you’re brand new or grew up playing with your family, pull up a chair.
Bring a board if you have one. Bring a friend if you want. Just come play.
