📖 Our Journey

The Story of Strategoia

From a university discovery to a catalyst for happiness, Strategoia's journey is one of serendipity and enduring joy.

🏛️

A Wondrous University Discovery

Strategoia, a chess-like board game, was conceived by its creator, Professor Elias Vance, during his time at the University of Oxford in the 1970s. It remained a hidden gem, tuckered away in a drawer, until rediscovered years later.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Rekindled by Family

Years later, Vance's granddaughter, Lily, unearthed the game. Her insistence on learning the rules sparked a new chapter. For over 30 years, Strategoia has been a frequent source of joy, playful rivalry, and connection for their family.

💡

From Hidden Gem to Movement

Inspired by their family's tradition, the Vances launched Strategoia in 2020. Today, 12,400+ players in 40 countries gather weekly to play, proving that great strategy never goes out of style.

"Strategoia has replaced our family's movie night! It's incredibly satisfying to see my kids think three moves ahead. We've gone from 'what's for dinner' to 'I'll capture your bishop' in a week!"

❓ Quick Answers

Have Questions?

We've got you covered.

Not at all! We recommend Strategoia for ages 10 and up. We'd say it's as easy to learn as checkers, but as deep as chess. It's a fantastic way to teach kids strategic thinking.

A standard game lasts 20-30 minutes, making it perfect for weeknight play or a fun weekend afternoon. In our community leagues, we use a chess clock to keep things moving!

Nope! When you enroll, we send you a complete Starter Set — board, pieces, and a strategy cheat sheet — straight to your door, free of charge.

Once you become a member, our community dashboard shows you upcoming meetups in your area. We currently support 120+ local clubs across the US, UK, and Canada.
