Backgammon in Ealing [BGiE], prides itself on its strong ethos of fair play, trust and respect.
We host a vibrant crowd of friendly club players that make our weekly club tournaments well worth entering. We work hard to make the game attractive to as wide a range of people as possible and arrange additional fun events including club head to heads, doubles nights and chouettes. We offer something for every one of all levels whilst encouraging players to improve their skills.
We look forward to you joining us to play 'the cruelest game'.
If you're new to backgammon or are getting back into the game after a long break, we offer a monthly informal backgammon night in collaboration with Chiswick Backgammon.

Our Story
BGiE started up in 2012 and is now one of the biggest backgammon clubs in the UK. Over the years we've had more than 160 players through our doors, including world champion and Super Grand Master Masayuki 'Mochy' Mochizuki, renowned author Michihito Kageyama and many of the top UK women and men players.
We are affiliated to the UK Backgammon Federation and all matches played in our tournaments qualify for ranking points. Ealing club night tournaments typically consist of matches of 5 or 7 points, we always use the doubling cube and offer optional prize pools.
