Host a Trigahex Card Game Tournament at your Village

A Game Night That’s All About Fun, Laughter, and Good Company

There’s something special about gathering around a table with people you enjoy. No screens. No stress. Just a bit of friendly competition and a lot of laughs. That’s what a Trigahex tournament offers.

Whether it’s neighbours catching up, family visiting for the weekend, or a bunch of grandkids keen to teach Nan and Pop how it’s done - Trigahex has a lovely way of bringing everyone together. It’s easy to learn, fun to play, and secretly brilliant for your brain (but we don’t need to tell the kids that part).

Card games have been bringing people together for generations - and Trigahex fits right into that tradition. You don’t need to be an expert or a strategy genius. The fun is in figuring it out together, one colourful triangle at a time.

It’s not just about the game either. It’s about those little moments: the shared chuckle when someone plays a surprising move, or the joy of teaming up with a grandchild and figuring it out side-by-side. That’s what makes it feel so good.

What’s great about Trigahex is that it doesn’t take hours to learn. You can pick it up quickly and then play it as simply or as cleverly as you like. Some people love keeping it light; others enjoy digging into the strategy side. You can do both - and you can change it up depending on who’s playing.

That flexibility makes it perfect for all ages. Kids aged 8 and up tend to catch on quickly (and love showing off their skills). Adults appreciate that it’s not childish, and older players enjoy the brain-boosting side without it feeling like a puzzle book.

Trigahex has actually earned STEM accreditation - that means it’s been recognised for encouraging skills linked to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths. In fact, it made the top 5% of all STEM-approved products with a “Best in STEM” award.

What does that mean in plain terms? It’s good for your brain. It gets you thinking ahead, planning moves, recognising patterns - without ever feeling like work. And it’s especially great when the grandkids are involved. They’re learning too, but they just think they’re having fun.

Keeping your mind active is something a lot of us think about as we get older - but not everyone wants to sit down with a crossword or sudoku. That’s where a game like Trigahex really shines.

You’re making decisions, weighing up options, watching what others do… and before you know it, you’re stretching your brain without even realising. Add in a bit of conversation and a few jokes, and suddenly you’ve had a mentally stimulating afternoon that didn’t feel like a workout.

Kids learn best when they’re having a good time, and Trigahex nails that balance. It’s colourful, quick, and makes them feel clever when they spot a winning move. The bonus? They’re picking up pattern recognition, strategy, turn-taking, and thinking ahead - all without it ever feeling like school.

Plus, they love the chance to be the “expert.” Letting them teach the adults how to play is half the fun. It builds confidence and connection - and a few inside jokes along the way.

You don’t need a big hall or fancy equipment to run a tournament just a few tables, a game, and a bunch of willing players. Here’s the simple way to do it:

Step 1: See Who’s Interested

Put a sign-up sheet in the common room or send around a quick message. Word spreads fast when there’s a game involved.

Feel free to use these:

“Have You Heard About Trigahex? You’re Invited!”
“Last Chance to Sign Up – Join the Tournament!”

Individual Play - Noticeboard Sign

Team Play - Noticeboard Sign

Step 2: Pick a Time

Afternoons or early evenings work well. Think about what suits most people and maybe tie it in with your regular social catch-up.

Step 3: Choose the Format

How many Hexagons? Individual Play or a Team Event? How many players?

. You could even try team play - especially fun when grandkids visit and team up with their grandparents.

Step 4: Add Some Nibbles

Tea, bikkies, fruit platters - whatever feels easy and welcoming. It turns the tournament into more of a social event, which is really what it’s all about.

Step 5: Celebrate the Day

Maybe there’s a little prize for the winners, or a certificate printed on the community printer. Or maybe it’s just a round of applause and a group photo. Either way, it’s a memory people will chat about for weeks.

Even if you don’t want to run a tournament, Trigahex fits beautifully into a relaxed afternoon. Whether it’s book club, a social group, after-dinner games, or a rainy-day activity - it’s always ready to go.

You don’t need to commit to a long session. Play a few rounds, or just keep going until the tea runs out. It’s great for pairs, trios, or groups, and it works well in team play if you’ve got more people than cards.

People come away from it feeling more relaxed, more engaged, and more part of something. It’s not uncommon to see people chatting afterwards who hadn’t spoken before. That’s the kind of thing a good game night can do.

Some games lean too young. Others feel like they’re only for serious players. Trigahex fits neatly in the middle. It respects everyone at the table - no one feels left out or overwhelmed, and no one’s talked down to.

That makes it ideal for multi-generational play, which is where some of the best memories happen. Whether you’re a first-time player or a strategic whiz, there’s room for everyone.

If your tournament goes well (and chances are, it will), you might decide to run one every few months - or even once a month. Some communities do themed days, others just play casually in the rec room whenever the mood strikes.

You might even attract interest from nearby groups, libraries, or clubs who want to join in or host their own. The best part is, it all grows naturally - no pressure, just good games and good people

Hosting a Trigahex tournament isn’t about fancy planning or perfect play. It’s about making space for connection - across generations, between neighbours, or within families. It’s about having a laugh, trying something new, and maybe surprising yourself with a clever move or a winning card.

It’s easy to organise. It’s great for the brain. And it creates moments that stick with people - long after the cards are packed away.

If you’re looking for a low-key, high-fun way to bring people together in your village or community, Trigahex might just be the thing. Give it a go - and don’t be surprised if it becomes everyone’s new favourite.
