St Albans Backgammon

probably the most fun you'll ever have with your clothes on!

Welcome to St Albans Backgammon Club

  • We meet every Tuesday at The Mermaid from 19:30-ish until late, and occasionally elsewhere
  • We play a knock-out tournament and numerous chouettes, all for small (or if you prefer, nil) stakes
  • If you're new to backgammon, or a little rusty, we'll gladly teach you for free
