    I was chess club in middle school, but I do not like chess anymore either as there much better board games to play. I was just in the club because I was bored and taught myself how to play it by researching it online. Chess is supposed to be good for teaching strategy and problem solving skills, but really there are way better ways of doing so from video games or much more modern board games.

      eh i disagree, a lot of board games involves a dice (or another way to randomize the game) which reduces them to gambling imo (tho maybe there’s still some tactics to them), other than that there’s like domino and checkers, which i find too simple idk (i suck at them)
