Entries on this list

This is the widest list on the site: every live entry where, according to a source, a stranger can come and play a game. It brings together clubs with open evenings, cafés and bars with boards, outdoor tables and giant sets, library tables, players' groups that meet in public places, and tournaments that take outside players.

Being on this page means a source suggests a newcomer can play there; it does not replace the access line on each card. If you are new to the city, start with entries whose last trace is recent and whose access line says open to everyone or visitors welcome, then check the sessions table for the day and the time.
