Squabble Squares is a new strategy-based board game created by a Charlotte couple.

Why it matters: They're celebrating the game's launch with a public tournament at Resident Culture South End tomorrow.

Backstory: Founders Ben Moomaw and Heather Bard created Squabble Squares out of pandemic boredom.

• While staying in a mountain cabin one weekend, the two spontaneously made up a game using the tile squares on the kitchen countertop.
• What started as throwing dice on those squares turned into the building blocks of the game.
• Over the next year, they added more rules until they had something ready to debut.

What to expect: A fast-paced, interactive and tile-based tabletop game, Squabble Squares is very much an original, but it has elements of Trouble, Connect Four and Sorry, says Moomaw.

If you go: Registration will be open from 1–1:30pm. The tournament will start soon after.

• It's free to sign up and play. Walk-ins will be accommodated, but you can register here for an earlier spot.
