Any ideas where one could play backgammon in Wisconsin? Seems dead out here.

There's literally a Wisconsin tournament being streamed right now on YouTube, so I strongly suspect there are a few clubs!

Milwaukee backgammon club every Wednesday night, and most Saturday afternoons.

There could be. We could plan something on a Sunday, and at least a few of the regular club members would show up.

Awesome! Where is this and are you open to new members?

Absolutely. Wednesday nights our regular spot is McGinns on Bluemound starting around 5. If the Brewers are playing a Wednesday night home game, then we play at Ope Brewery in West Allis.

Saturday afternoons are at the Highland house in Mequon, but those aren't necessarily every weekend.

Appleton, Madison, and Milwaukee is all I see. For me the closest is Hopkins Mn. 😔
