I tried this club shortly after moving hear as I enjoy playing backgammon while talking to friends. This club is NOT about that. There is no talking, just very, very serious backgammon by some talented players who are happy to take your $10 entry fee away from you. If they come out with a "friendly" backgammon club, I might be up for that.
My wife plays a card game popular in Rust Belt states (Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc.) called Euchre. There are several clubs for that game. Some are tournament-only with money (nothing huge) on the line, no talking and no tolerance for mediocre players. Fortunately, there are a few "friendly" clubs as well and she's hooked up with a couple of those.
With 3,100+ clubs in The Villages, there's something for nearly everybody!
