It might just be a bit hard to find players online at the same time (most commonly 1700-2200 CET &#8211; <strong>outdated these days, see below<\/strong>). If you see someone that does not respond, try sending them a private message (which makes a sound for the receiver). If nothing else helps you can always mail us and someone surely will play a game or two some day. I can also sign you up for a tournament which is a great way to get to know other players.<br \/>\n<strong>NOTE! There is a group that plays Eskgammon daily at least 360 days a year at PiranhaZone. Usually for 1-3h, around 1600 GMT (or 1700 GMT, never quite sure).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The software can be downloaded from Piranha&#8217;s site:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.piranhazone.com\/index.php?language=1&amp;page=piranhagammon&amp;topic=download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Piranhazone client download<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PiranhaZone installation (Eskgammon)\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FSTVMBMAjTk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>When installing, just ignore any comments Avast or virus protection softwares give.
