Back by popular demand, it’s the weekly Tabletop Games thread! This thread is where we can talk about all kinds of RPGs, card games, board games, etc. Whether you gather around a physical table in the real world, or use a virtual space to play with friends who may live far away from you, this is where you can discuss your favorites, ask for and/or receive recommendations, recap your recent adventures, or even find some people to play games with!

This week’s prompt: A while back I fell into a rabbit hole on YouTube and since then I’ve been low-key obsessed with the game of Chess. It’s one of the oldest tabletop games in the world, so let’s talk about it. I’m definitely curious to know if anyone here has ever played in an official tournament or has an Elo rating.

Bonus prompt: Do you have a fancy or novelty chess set you want to show off?
