St. Anthony-New Brighton Community Services

Whether you consider yourself a beginner or intermediate player, join this club to meet and interact with other chess players in your school and play on a weekly basis. We will occasionally be joined by experienced guest players to improve our skill level. Players will also be exposed to opportunities for competing in tournaments outside of the club with students from other schools. We will start with the basic rules for new players and also cover strategy and tactics for the intermediate players as the club progresses. Club T-Shirts are included. Students that already have club shirts will be reimbursed for the cost of their shirt.

Take board gaming to the next level and immerse yourself in a variety of new mental challenges. Choose from a wide selection of strategy games and simulations that involve 2 to 7 players. Many familiar games will be available such as Stratego, Risk, Clue, Blokus and Monopoly but you will also have the opportunity to choose from dozens of other challenging games such as Settlers of Catan, 7 Wonders, Acquire, Dominion, Power Grid, Ticket to Ride, Pandemic, Castle Panic, Velociraptor, Kingdom Builder, Sushi Go, Boss Monster, Citadels, or Carcassonne to name just a few. Our biggest challenge will be to decide how to play as many games as possible! Playing these games develops analysis and problem solving skills through forming winning strategies and tactics. It also helps the participants improve their communication and negotiation ability through face to face competition and cooperation and...it’s also great fun!
