Mind Sports Olympiad 2002 in Prague (Olympiáda duševních sportů)

June 20 - 23, 2002, Praha, Tyršův dům, Újezd 42

Who can come?

The event is dedicated to all playful people from all over the world, young and old, experts as well as amateurs. Everyone can play and learn something new. Besides "comparing mental skills" the visitor can learn how to have a good time while training their brain. Moreover, the board games break barriers. No matter who you are, what is your age, belief, race or physical disability, the only what matters is the power of your brain.

The general public will be given the possibility to learn and try new games and to take part in beginners' tournaments, which there will be a broad scale of. The events for the broad public will be held in Tyršův dům on June 21 - 23, from 9:00 till 23:00. All the time the visitors will be able to learn and immediately play any game FOR FREE in our Ludiatheque (we have about 100 games).

Novices to board games need not hesitate to register for tournaments. Many tournaments are suitable or even targeted to newbies, so don't be afraid to test your strength. Maybe even in a game you learn just before the tournament. Remember the Olympic rule: it's not important to win but to participate.

Board games experts, on the other hand, will indeed appreciate master tournaments in many games where they will be able to compare themselves to players from all over the world. (Last year there were players from nineteen countries of the world.)
