Event Highlights

Our last gathering at Soho Beach House was pure magic. A big shoutout to everyone who joined us for a pre thanksgiving dice roll.

Next Up: Tournament Night
When: 12.12.24
Where: Kalypso Beach at MB Hotel

We’re leveling up the tournament-style play! Beginners, this is your time to shine—or learn. Watching from the sidelines is a great way to pick up the game’s nuances and gear up to claim the crown one day.

About that crown… We’re creating a custom trophy for our champion—think sleek, bold, and brag-worthy. Duane, our reigning champ, is ready to defend it!

Prizes & Local Love

Winners will also take home prizes from some incredible new partners. A huge thank-you to Hemptress for decking out our first tournament. Supporting Miami’s entrepreneurs and local businesses is a core part of what we do, and we’d love to hear your suggestions for future collaborations.

History Lesson Nugget

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, artists and writers believed that observing games could offer deep insights into societal habits and individual character. English literature from that era often suggested that understanding the games people played was essential for accurately assessing their dispositions and social behaviors. To us at MBS backgammon is more than just a pastime—it is our portal to ancient cultures that remain alive through our gatherings.

XOXO,
Eugenia & Gina
