The Mind Sports Olympiad (MSO) was launched to great fanfare in 1997. An ambitious undertaking, its aim was to showcase the largely ignored world of mental sports, and grow the event to eventually rival the physical Olympics.

The eight day event, combines seventy tournaments across fifty disciplines from Chess, Poker and Backgammon, to family favourites like Scrabble and Monopoly, and lesser- known gems like ‘Entropy’, based on the eternal conflict between order and chaos, and ‘Catan’, a resource-based strategy game inspired by the 10th century settlement of Iceland.

Pentamind follows five of the most decorated mind sports all-rounders to this year’s Olympiad. In a nail-biting story of quirky but cut-throat competition, it tells the tale of this fiendish contest, while exploring the heady world of competitive board gaming, and the spell it casts over those who compete for love and glory.
