Hey sun lovers, AC babies, and board aficionados:

Summer is still going and so are we. July brought the heat and August is going to be spicier, let’s prep accordingly:

Guest List

Partnerships are rolling. We have some A-list local entrepreneurs and DJs in the guest list. From fermented sips to handcrafted tunes, we’re celebrating the incredible brands that say yes to creativity, community, and play.

Also all the girlies in the WhatsApp group get the VIP insights. DM us to join.

July highlights:

  • Good Apples & Big Winners: We traded apples for cubes at our iconic tournament night. You all showed up to The Moore in style and celebrated our Turkish champion’s first win, congrats Ilker.

  • Meet Us With a Lust for Lattes and Dice: We celebrated our second run at the Las Olas chapter and had our Wes Anderson-like promo video on repeat all month long. Shoutout to John for his acting skills.

  • The Finale: Our last stunt was an elevated night in Brickell at Felice. We wanted to bring the Italian summer to Miami for you. Did you enjoy it?

    The winner of tournament night went home with a Jonathan Adler board selected by our OG member Shadi. Thank you Shadi!

The Winner’s Board

Backgammon's association with a snake motif, particularly the cobra, stems from its ancient origins and symbolism. The snake motif, often seen in the form of a coiled serpent or a cobra, is linked to the game's history in ancient Persia and Mesopotamia, where it was believed to represent both wisdom and fortune.
