As you know, football is a popular activity at SIG. Last year, the Dublin office started an official soccer club, where we regularly meet after work for various sports sessions, including some discussed in other blogs.

Most games are designed to be played in small or casual groups. For example, guests of Catan cannot play with…
One of my favorite two-player games is the double cube, which is often used to play backgammon. The game starts with a bet of one point, but each player has the option of doubling the bet before each turn. If player 1 doubles, player 2 has the option of accepting the double and playing the game for two points, or doubling down, giving up and allowing player 1 to win one point. If player 2 accepts, then player 2 has a “continuing cube” – player 2 can double before each of their turns, while player 1 cannot. If player 1 accepts more…
What should new players focus on in their first entry game? The most important thing to focus on in your first few games is to touch the ball more times per game. Of course, you should try to prevent the ball from entering your own net, but being able to hit the ball will make the game more fun and teach you an important skill that many new players lack. It sounds a lot, of course, but those are the foundations of…

This year, any player was randomly assigned to either Cincinnati or Los Angeles as the winner based on the final tally of each team’s final score.

There are different ways to play League of Legends. Whether it’s cheating on your favorite champion, playing a single role, switching between highly competitive meta picks, or demoralizing yourself with a unique playstyle.
