What Giant Draughts is
Draughts is a famous strategy game in which the pieces are split into white and black, and the aim is to capture every one of the opponent's pieces.
This giant version takes the classic board game to a much larger scale, ideal for livening up any event.
How Giant Draughts works
Here's how Giant Checkers for Events works, step by step:
- Players split into two teams: white pieces and black pieces.
- In turns, they move their pieces across the board under the classic rules.
- Each team tries to capture the opponent's pieces by jumping over them.
- The team that takes every opposing piece wins.
Giant draughts tournament for town festivals, fairs and squares
Draughts is one of those games everyone knows, and in giant form it becomes a show for players and spectators alike. A giant draughts tournament in a square or at a fairground brings people of all ages together around the board.
- Generation duels: grandparents against grandchildren or club against club, games the whole square follows closely.
- Open draw: on-the-spot sign-ups and knockout rounds throughout the day, with a final in the afternoon.
- No electricity: the canvas board is rolled out and the 24 pieces are placed, so it fits into any corner.
- Alongside other giant games: it creates a traditional games area that keeps the atmosphere going for hours.
In shopping centres, the 5 x 5 metre board is a visual hook that invites people to stop and play a game between shops. The tough PVC pieces work indoors and outdoors, so giant draughts for town festivals adapt to the street, a sports hall or a shopping arcade. We bring this giant game for events to town councils, fairs and shopping centres in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and across Spain.

Giant draughts for hotels, weddings and leadership activities
Big strategy
In a leadership activity for companies, every move on the giant draughts board forces the team to discuss, decide and live with the consequences. It is a simple way to work on team decision-making and draw useful conclusions afterwards. Two teams, one giant board and plenty of shared strategy.
Hotels and resorts can add giant draughts to their gardens and terraces as an elegant activity for guests, and at classic-style weddings the black and white pieces suit elegant décor. The game is also much loved in community centres and senior clubs, where draughts is an old favourite. For giant draughts hire in Barcelona or anywhere in Spain, ask for a quote.

Customising the Giant Draughts board
A strategy duel that's easy to follow from the sidelines. With giant draughts customised with your logo, the board becomes a brand support: company logo in the centre or on the edges and squares in your colours.
The standard size is 5 x 5 metres, although we can change it to fit the space. The board goes in walk-proof PVC banner, and the pieces can carry badges to tell teams apart. You send your artwork or we prepare it in a couple of days; trusted suppliers print and our team prepares board and pieces.
Everything travels in plastic film and arrives clean. An elegant activity for strategy tournaments at company events, cultural fairs or hotels.

Frequently asked questions
What are Giant Draughts for events and how do you play?
Giant Draughts is the classic board game on a huge scale: a 5 × 5 metre PVC canvas board with 24 white and black PVC pieces, each 25 cm across. Two players or two teams take turns, and whoever captures all the opponent's pieces wins. A game lasts between 15 and 30 minutes.
How much space and power do Giant Draughts need?
Giant Draughts needs no electricity. The board measures 5 × 5 metres and we recommend a flat area of 6 × 6 metres. It works indoors and outdoors, because the pieces are made of hard-wearing PVC. We take care of transport, set-up and collection, so you only need to provide the space.
Do I need staff to set up and run Giant Draughts?
No, Giant Draughts needs no staff. Set-up takes about 15 minutes and take-down another 15: we simply lay the canvas on a flat surface and place the 24 pieces. We work from Barcelona and set up anywhere in Spain, so you only have to choose the date and the venue.
Can Giant Draughts be customised with my company logo?
Yes, Giant Draughts can carry your company logo in the centre or around the edges of the board, with squares in your brand colours. The pieces can also have markings to tell the teams apart. The size of the customisation is agreed with us when you request a quote.
What kinds of events are Giant Draughts good for?
Giant Draughts suits corporate events, team building, family days, shopping centres, fairs, festivals and birthdays. It also works well in hotels, classic-style weddings and senior centres. Everyone already knows the rules of draughts, so there is nothing to explain before people start playing.
