The Mind Sports Olympiad (MSO) is an international event with over 80
different board game competitions ranging from classics like Chess, Scrabble,
Backgammon and Go to newer games, including Settlers of Catan, 7 Wonders,
Dominion, Ticket to Ride, and Carcassonne.


OVER 100 BOARD GAME COMPETITIONS


The Mind Sports Olympiad is an international event with over 100 different competitions ranging from classics like Chess, Backgammon, Scrabble, and Go to newer games, including Settlers of Catan, 7 Wonders, Dominion, and Carcassonne. Card games figure too, with the Amateur Poker World Championship alongside exam-based competitions ranging from Memory and Sudoku to the Mental Calculations World Championship. Our most prestigious accolade is the PENTAMIND WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP which is awarded each year to the player with the best results in five different competitions.


For the past few years this event has been at the JSW, 341-351 Finchley Rd, London NW3 6ET.  But, as with many events, it has moved online during the COVID crisis.
