I'm sure everyone understands that The Icon fairy loves to spread joy to as many players as possible , so for that reason players are only eligible to win the Icon hunt prize once every six months. Post your finds for the hunt on the Icon Mania or you can pm them to the GoldToken's Icon Fairy
April 21st is - so hurry on over and get your Easter Icons. You will find them in Row 4. Also, check out the Icon Of The Day - what a great piano player.
Does you club have its own icons? Check them out here Club Icons and message the GoldToken's Icon Fairy for more details.
Do you love BACKGAMMON? Then listen up to this.
The Backgammon Club Revival Club was set up a few years ago as a result of a competition set up by GoldToken to try and encourage more clubs to take part in inter-club ladders.
The Backgammon Club Revival club is split into six smaller clubs each of which takes part in the backgammon inter-club ladders. Sadly over the last couple of years they have lost several members from these clubs and would really like to find some new backgammon players willing to join them. NOTE: There should only be a couple of games at any time so it is not a big undertaking.
Players are only allowed to play in the ladders for one club so anyone already signed up to a team in other club would not be able to play here.
If anyone would like to join please message sallyp for more information or an invite to join in on the fun Backgammon challenges.
Friendly Competition for Fun and Good Times - check out The Mar 2019 — KJ's CHESSARAMA, Fun Times challenge Tournament, which starts on May 6th. It's open for sign up now. It is a League tourney with 2 Rounds, which also has a 5-day clock with nine months and game forfeit.
The Save Our Earth Club lives up to their club name...They are celebrating Earth Day - April 22nd - with a game to win Golderos. If it sounds like fun, just message ladyvic for more information.

Do you love BACKGAMMON? Then listen up to this.
The Backgammon Club Revival Club was set up a few years ago as a result of a competition set up by GoldToken to try and encourage more clubs to take part in inter-club ladders.
The Backgammon Club Revival club is split into six smaller clubs each of which takes part in the backgammon inter-club ladders. Sadly over the last couple of years they have lost several members from these clubs and would really like to find some new backgammon players willing to join them. NOTE: There should only be a couple of games at any time so it is not a big undertaking.
Players are only allowed to play in the ladders for one club so anyone already signed up to a team in other club would not be able to play here.
If anyone would like to join please message sallyp for more information or an invite to join in on the fun Backgammon challenges.
Friendly Competition for Fun and Good Times - check out The Mar 2019 — KJ's CHESSARAMA, Fun Times challenge Tournament, which starts on May 6th. It's open for sign up now. It is a League tourney with 2 Rounds, which also has a 5-day clock with nine months and game forfeit.
The Save Our Earth Club lives up to their club name...They are celebrating Earth Day - April 22nd - with a game to win Golderos. If it sounds like fun, just message ladyvic for more information.
