NEWS AND EVENTS: Pacru Club

New Venue: Titchy Coffee Company in the Triangle



The Pacru Club currently just exists in Manchester.

Beginners are very welcome. The sessions start at 2pm on a Sunday and you will generally get a game if you turn up any time before 4pm.
An introductory game of Shacru or Azacru will generally take 30-50 minutes, but this then goes down dramatically (to 15-30 minutes or so for Azacru, 20-30 for Shacru) as you get used to the games. - The first few games of Pacru for a beginner may take over an hour (it depends how much you want to win/learn in your first game): generally with more experienced players Pacru games are more in the region of 40-50 minutes. We have plenty of boards and you can play the 2, 3 or 4 player version of Shacru, Azacru or Pacru as you choose.








September 2009 dates:



New Venue



Sunday September 13th 2pm at Titchy Coffee Company in the Basement at The Triangle (34 Exchange Square) in the centre of Manchester. The Triangle is the large, old triangular (surprise!) building that is located between Manchester Cathedral, Urbis, The Cross Street exit of the Arndale, the Manchester Big Wheel. It is excellently located for train (Victoria 5 minutes, Picadilly 10-15), tram, bus.

This is a very friendly venue with a nice range of food and drinks, and good light and ambience! This is likely to be a regular Pacru club venue.

Sunday 18th October 2pm
Sunday 25th October 2pm

At the end of the month of August there were the annual Pacru/Azacru/Shacru competitions in London (see the competitions page). The intention is to have the world championships for all 3 competitions in Manchester towards the end of July in 2010.

Historical note

We used to meet at Fuel Cafe in Withington (upstairs) and then the Parrs Wood Pub (junction of School Lane and Parrs Wood Road in Didsbury) on some Monday evenings, and then also at the Hillary Step (on Upper Chorlton Road in Whalley Range near junction with College Road) on some Sunday afternoons. We may still be at these venues (Hillary Step and Parrs Wood Pub) from time to time - but the preference for a regular venue is one where is no alchohol and easy casual access from a changing public (in order to promote the game to new players).


For any more details or questions email infoat signpacru.com and we can put you in touch with the club contacts Danny and Adam if you want to talk to them before coming down.
