A club is a type of weapon that appears in NetHack. It is made of wood.
Generation
Clubs make up about 1.2% of randomly generated weapons (on the floor, as death drops, or in shops).
Cavepeople start the game with a +1 club.[1]
Ogres have a varying chance of being generated with a club: 11⁄12 for ogres, 5⁄6 for ogre lordss, and 2⁄3 for ogre kings.[2] Keystone Kops have a 1⁄6 chance of generating with a club.[3] Ettins are always generated with a club.[4]

The club and the aklys both use the club skill. There are no artifact clubs.
Notably, it is the only weapon skill that Tourists cannot reach basic proficiency in.
Strategy
While an adequate weapon for a starting Caveman, most characters will prefer stronger weapons. A major exception is the aklys, which has the same damage dice as a club and is made of iron, but can double as a ranged weapon and easily serves as a solid replacement for some projectiles such as the Caveman's sling, flint and rocks.
Variants
SLASH'EM
SLASH'EM adds two new items that use the club skill: the baseball bat and the torch.
Skullcrusher is a lawful artifact club that serves as the guaranteed first sacrifice gift for Cavepeople.
