Always Play The Fall

Hey backgammoners,

September flew by faster than shesh besh — and we didn’t waste a roll. From London launches to Stanford sunsets, from chessboards to Shark Tank, here’s how we played this month:

What’s new?

Backgammon went from coast to coast.

We officially launched in London and Palo Alto at Stanford, proving once again that dice roll better with some good wine and new faces.

September highlights:

• We hosted Sip & Pitch in partnership with Mindspace for Shark Tank Daymond John’s night of founders. If you liked it, stay tuned for another Mindspace collab this month…

• Gambit & Gammon made its second debut - we joined forces with Knightcap Chess Club for another night of strategy, queens, and dice.

• The Moore Tournament: Our flagship tournament brought the heat.

  1st Place: Todd - an true OG Backgammon Social member who has been part of our community since day 1!

  2nd Place: Paolo - an Italian stallion who keeps the competition on their toes
