On 27 December 2023, around 50 board game enthusiasts gathered at PolyU for the highly anticipated event, “Strategic Moves @ Alumni Atrium”. It was a unique occasion that brought together graduates and current students across generations, fostering a vibrant atmosphere of camaraderie and friendly competition.
The event marked the first-ever collaboration between the Alumni Affairs Office and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Student Affairs Office Chess and Boardgames Club. According to the alumni’s favourites, the Alumni Atrium was adorned with a colourful array of chessboards, card games, and many popular board games. Experienced chess lovers shared their strategies with beginners, encouraging a sense of community and knowledge exchange. The gathering buzzed with energy as people moved from one game to another, forging connections and building friendships through their shared love for board games.
Monopoly, Werewolves, Splendor and other chess battles enthralled the attendees. As the event drew to a close, many alumni eagerly anticipated the second board game gathering, where they could once again make strategic moves within the PolyU community!
