Our Story

A Club Built on Passion for the Game

From a small group of friends to one of Canada's most active backgammon communities — get to know who we are.

Founded 2008

How It All Started

Founded in 2008, the KW Backgammon Club has grown from a small group of friends into one of Canada's most active backgammon communities. We welcome players of all skill levels — from complete beginners to national champions.

We meet every Tuesday and Thursday evening in Waterloo, and host monthly open tournaments open to anyone in the region.

Over the years we've sent players to national championships and cultivated a reputation for fostering genuine sportsmanship and deep strategic play. Whether you're picking up dice for the first time or a seasoned competitor, there's a place for you here.
