Advanced RPGs: (Grade 6+) This advanced RPG club offers a more in depth and rewarding experience for participants who are ready for higher level campaigning. Our counselors will be offering more creative freedom, chances for independent exploration, and complex RPG story lines. Participants will be expected to work in a team, communicate effectively, and show curiosity towards the finer points of the game. In addition, group leadership (Game Master) opportunities will also be available for interested participants. Game systems may include Dungeon Crawl Classics, Cypher System, Star Wars RPG, FATE Core, Time Watch, Traveller and Dungeons & Dragons.

Chess III: This class is tailored toward advanced chess players with established on-line and/or over-the-board United States Chess Federation or FIDE chess ratings of 1100-1600, who already understand basic tactics and strategy. More advanced tactics will be taught and examples provided, including piece sacrifices, clearance sacrifices, discovered attacks, king hunts, skewers, smothered mates, zugzwang and zwischenzug. More advanced chess strategies will be taught including strong and weak squares, use of batteries, control of open and half-open files, ranks and diagonals, and opening memorization and learning of advanced chess concepts. Students will learn middle-game strategy including how to gain space on the chess board, endgame preparation, gaining and losing tempos, transitioning from the middle-game to the endgame with positional advantages. Memorization and concept development to enhance cognitive development will be key components of this class and world chess champion games as well as top-level miniature chess games will be used as examples for study. Tournament preparation will conclude this class with use of chess clocks, notation, and an on-site Swiss-style tournament for class participants.

Advanced Warhammer: Advanced Warhammer is a class focused on the grander strategic identities of multiple systems offered by GamesWorkshop here at The Brooklyn Strategist. Participants of the class will undergo a focused curriculum based on which of the play systems they are looking to have covered. The available systems for this class are Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game, and Kill Team. Along with the strategic focus on the game systems of the class, there is also an available painting station to hone in on the artistic talents of the participants if they wish to focus of the hobby aspects of each respective game. Various materials will be provided minus models as participants are required to have enough for each game system that they are partaking in.
