About Us
We primarily play on Boardgame Arena (BGA) where you can “play online, either in real-time or turn-based, against players from around the whole world. A selection of various board games and card games are available. In order to play, the only thing you need is your browser” – boardgamearena.com
BGA has hundreds of well-known games from Chinese Checkers to board game classics like Ticket to Ride and Puerto Rico. The platform works with the actual game development companies for players to have an online game play experience as close to playing in real-life.

Play Games Based On Your Schedule
Turn-Based Games
Daily – Setup by Members
#TurnBasedTuesday
Perfect for those with busy schedules, players don’t need to be online at the same time and can leave and come back to the game when it’s their turn to make their move. Games have a set amount of “thinking time” – usually a few days – to take their turns.
Coordinated in Facebook Group
Real-Time Games
Sundays, 14:00 CT
Tuesdays (Longer Games), 19:00 CT
Players are connected to BGA for the entire game where they can see everyone’s moves and react to them in real-time.
We leverage our Discord server voice channels for real-time camaraderie and conversation.
Coordinated in Discord Server
Turn-Based Tournaments
Mondays starting at 7:00am
Elimination or Swiss System
Friendly competition between SIG members on different games in the BGA catalog. Tourneys can be setup in different modes (elimination where the winner progresses) or Swiss System where players are paired with other members at their game level.

Hundreds of Mensa members and their guests gather from all over the U.S. to play, evaluate, and vote on their favorites. The top five games earn the coveted Mensa Select® seal — a mark of brilliance in board game design.
And many of the games are on BGA!
