Pips in the Park - Open Air Backgammon
Open Air Backgammon by Lake Michigan 🌊
Lake breeze, a cup of coffee, and the sound of dice hitting a board. We’re taking over the Lincoln Park Chess Pavilion for a few hours of backgammon and would love for you to join us.
It's summer in Chicago and we're making the most of it. Get some games in and enjoy the view.
New to the game?
We'll have a "Backgammon 101" crash course at 10:30 AM. We’ll get you through the basics of movement, hitting, and basic strategy so you’re ready to roll by the time the main session starts.

📍 Where: Lincoln Park Chess Pavilion (the big concrete structure by the lake).
