I am up for the weekend practice. Do you have any place in mind? Even if it’s not playing a game, I am up for little kick around as well. Anyways, need to take a lot out of my system to last even a portion of a game at this juncture.

As per reilable sources, ANA's 5 time defending Ludo champions (and 3 consecutive Snakes and Ladders champions), Boston's board games squad this year plans to send their members to the ANA to play soccer instead. 

On a serious note, is Boston bringing any teams this year?  Basketball or soccer?  Am not too worried though, as they've made a profession of getting knocked out in the first round.

Porcupine,

its not that hard to find an field but we need at least 8-10 people to start.

Anybody out here who wants to join soccer practice in boston/somerville area?

Perhaps chess team as well – tagged with a bunch of physios, team manager, cheerleaders, team doctor and a team coordinator. That will be awesome. Haha!

Martino – for now, it’s you and me. Don’t you know few people who might join us?

Perhaps, from “Ludo”, we can do some “Chak De Boston” this time around. Need to hire a coach from NY. :) 

Not necessarily for the ANA tournament, just for weekend kick round. Anyone?

who were semifinalists of last years ANA?

NY, DC LA who else?

Martino - Looks like we two are the only ones interested. Considering the large populace of Nepalese Diasporas here in Boston, my understanding was we actually may have to form two teams.

You and I can do Bagpiper, but to play soccer, it wouldn’t be that much fun. That said, we can keep our options open and see if anyone else joins us.
