This week we are looking for images of games: games you play, games you have or anything gamey.

Remember, if you post a photo, you may be the winner. Be prepared to host and judge a new challenge.

To submit, put your photo title in the first line of the post, followed by your photo, and click "Post comment." Your camera brand and model must appear in the post. Include additional EXIF data, if you like. Enter just one photo.

Post until Monday noon GMT, Mar 31

Rules:
Camera: Any fixed-lens camera, all brands and models. Cell phones are also included. No DSLRs!
The image may be digital or scanned film as long as the original shot was taken with a fixed lens.
Time: Any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible except photos that have won other POTN competitions.
Size: Photo must be no less than 800 pixels and no more than 1600 pixels on the longest side, with no borders.
Postprocessing: Do whatever you like and the host will decide if it fits the theme.
Photo display: Photos must appear in this thread to be eligible.
Title your photo.
No commenting and no likes until the challenge has ended.
People may also post photos after the winners are announced.

Voting: Once the challenge is closed on Monday noon anyone may cast their votes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. People who didn't enter a photograph are also allowed to vote. 1st Place = 3 points, 2nd Place = 2 points, and 3rd Place = 1 point.
Note: The host of the challenge may also enter a photo and is encouraged to do so. Should the host win, the runner up will host the next challenge, so as to avoid the same person hosting in two consecutive weeks.

Hosting:
1. The challenge host is the winner of the last challenge.
2. Once your win is announced, copy the sticky and start a thread in the Competitions forum with this title: Fixed-Lens Challenge #XXX: Subject
4. Soon after noon GMT on the next Tuesday, post the sum of the votes for first, second, and third place. No ties, please.
5. If the winner can't be contacted and doesn't respond by Wednesday noon GMT, the second-place winner will host the challenge. If both are unavailable, the third-place winner will host.

Link to Sticky with template

Schedule: One challenge every week, on the following schedule:
1. New Topic: As soon as possible after winning.
2. Posting Starts: Right after topic is announced.
3. Posting Stops: Monday noon GMT.
4. Winners Announcement: As soon as possible, after Tuesday noon GMT.

Congratulations to Trumper and TerryPinky…proud to share the podium with you. Very excellent Challenge Don with some fine entries! Well done by all 👍😀

My chessboard was a thrift shop rescue I found years ago. I stripped it and refinished it with multiple coats of furniture oil! Then I found a nice wooden chess set on Amazon to go with it. 😀

I love chess and still love to work out chess puzzles I see in my various news blogs. 👍
 
I can't play chess, or even checkers very well, but I really liked that photo. My photo was meant to be funny so I edited to look more 60s. I have no idea why her expression was so astonished or whatever it was, because we already had that game. Because I liked the humor in the cat on the pool table that's why I voted for that one.

I basically eliminated sports from my thinking because I thought sports were separate from games.
 
The little snooker table which is a bit uneven so causes all sorts of merriment and cursing tends to come out at Christmas ,within minutes the cats are joining in :)
