Hello Wellington!
We’ve recently expanded to twice weekly social chess nights, and if you’ve never played before (or haven’t touched a board in years), this is a good excuse to come along, learn the basics for free, and meet some new people.
This isn’t a silent auditorium where adults quietly lose a 3 hour game to a 9 year old.
We play in bars, talk shit, and focus way more on the social side than serious competition. We provide everything for free and structure things so you’ll get to chat and play with lots of different people throughout the night.
Over the last 6 events we’ve built a really solid little community, and we’d love more people to be part of it.
Not into 3 hour chess sessions? We also bring backgammon and card games, and you’re welcome to bring anything else.
Weekly events:
Tuesday 7-10pm
📍 Waitoa Victoria St.
Thursday 6-9pm
📍 The Pow Wow Room
No experience needed. Come solo or bring a friend. It’s a social club, chess is just the excuse.
