Pauče Dominoes Club
ABOUT
Pauče Dominoes Club was established in 2012 by Konstantin Something*, as a place to socialise and to enjoy the simple pleasures of a game of dominoes with one's fellow villagers. Most of our Members reside here in Pauče, although membership is also open to the neighbouring villages—in the past, we have welcomed Members from Zabrđe, Krusevo and Pliješevina.
If you live in or near Pauče and are a dominoes enthusiast (or perhaps a curious newbie), then Pauče Dominoes Club is for you! Otherwise, we have very little to offer—you may go ahead and navigate away from this website. To enquire about membership, just come along to any of our scheduled events and speak with Konstantin. Regrettably, membership is no longer being granted via email, owing to recent security concerns.
Our Members primarily play Chicken Foot, Sebastopol, and Double Bergen. Depending on demand, more beginner-friendly games, e.g. 5s and 3s, are also played occasionally. We are keen to explore new games, so feel free to make suggestions!
Membership is, and always will be, free of charge, although any Members' donations are gratefully received. All donations are used exclusively for the betterment of the club, and the improvement of our facilities.

FAQS
I do not live in or near Pauče—can I join anyway?
While membership applications are assessed on an individual basis, it is unlikely that there is anything for you here.
Can you recommend a set of dominoes for home use?
At club events, we will always provide all of the necessary equipment. For Members' home use, we recommend buying a set made from either metal or natural stone. Although largely down to individual preference, we find these materials offer unsurpassed durability, and a more pleasing tactility when compared with plastic or resin.
I am having difficulty accessing the Members area—can you help me?
If you are not yet a Member of Pauče dominoes club, then you must first register in-person at one of our events (see the "SCHEDULE" section above). If you have forgotten the authentication code, you can either ask a fellow Member for help, or get in touch with Konstantin directly, who will be happy to provide assistance.
MEMBERS AREA
Our Members area can be found here. Access requires an authentication code, which is provided to all Members upon registration.
If you have forgotten the code, it can be obtained by speaking with either a fellow Member or with Konstantin. Kindly note, however, that for security reasons the authentication code will not be provided via email.
