"With weekly meetings friday evenings at the Minoru Cultural Centre club attendance has surpassed 40 after only 3 meetings. The players range across all ages and skills levels and incidentally there are a number of ladies - young and old there to demonstrate this game is no longer a strictly male domain. Our club is free to join and it is free to attend. And the games are on a casual drop by basis. So drop by when you can and if you can't well don't sweat it - maybe we'll see you the next week. :) Attendance has been strong and we are expecting things will only continue to grow each week as word of our existence spreads throughout the lands. The space provided to us by the City of Richmond is the perfect venue for our group which dabbles at chess, chinese chess (XiangQi), go and even a little backgammon to make the world interesting. If you are feeling up to the challenge drop by for a game or two." Start: 6:45 pm

For example at 110 points you earn a special 2-card booster pack. You don't have to get all 110 points on the same day - come back each week and keep adding to your point total. League play on Sunday from approximately Noon till 3:00pm. League play is casual - you can arrive late, get in a few games and leave early if needed. Most players tend to show up around 1pm. Due to other events starting on Sunday afternoon around 4pm, we ask players to make room if needed (i.e., if you are still playing when the other event is supposed to start - please allow the other game to begin). | ||
