Do you love chess and other strategic thinking games? Then come on down to Chess & Strategic Gaming Club!  It’s the perfect place to meet others who love the game of chess, and increase your abilities of strategic thinking.  Playing Chess promotes brain growth by exercising both sides of your brain!  It can also raise your IQ, help teach planning and foresight, increases problem-solving skills, and improves memory.  That’s a lot of benefits from just one game.

We also play a simplified version of Dungeons & Dragons, and can accommodate other tabletop games (board, card, video) pending advisor approval.
