About Us
SMU Strategica is SMU's premier board game club. We have over 100 board games from various themes! Apart from that, we also have a Dungeons & Dragons wing that caters to D&D Lovers! Let us forge new friendships as we explore new games together!
Join our weekly Friday sessions where we feature a nice after-school environment for students to chill out and relax!
Key Events
- Weekly Board Game Sessions
We host physical sessions every Friday, 4pm-9pm, where we gather to play games from our wide variety of board games. We welcome everyone regardless of skill level and experience! - End of Year Retreat
At the end of the year, we gather to play longer, more complex games that we wouldn’t be able to play in our normal weekly session. It is an event to celebrate the end of finals! - Members' Retreat
Once a semester, we gather to play board games with fellow Strategica members, while also taking a break from exam stress! It's a fun bonding session for our members to relax and enjoy our games! - Dungeon & Dragon Sessions
We also host ad-hoc one-shot and campaign sessions, led by our own SMU students. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or just down to have a good time role-playing and rolling dice, we have a session for you, and all for free!
