About

Harmony Alley is a Backstreet Boys TCG. If you're unfamiliar with TCGs, the letters stand for Trading Card Game (this being an online one). The idea is pretty simple: you read the rules, join, and then play games to earn cards. Cards can also be earned in free givaways from the updates or by participating in/winning a contest. You can ask to trade cards with other members to collect sets. When you collect all the cards in a set (or deck), you then earn more cards. Keep reading to find out more.

What You Need

In order to play and participate in this TCG, you need a website with the following information on it:

• A badge showing your current level.
• All of your cards (collecting, trading and mastered).
• The total number of cards you have along with the total worth of the cards (some cards are worth more than one).
• A trade log which has the dates and ways you earned ALL of your cards (see some of the member's sites for examples).
• A link back to Harmony Alley (usually the badge is linked).
• You will also want to list your extra items such as Tickets and Passes and any awards you may receive.

Starter's Pack

When you join, we will send you a starting pack of cards. You will receive three regular (worth 1) cards from a deck you select when joining, and three completely random regular cards.

Can the Owners Play?

We the owners and staff can play, but are, however, more restricted than any regular members. We get cards from the updates like everyone else. We can play games that are run by scripts that we have no control over, or that we do not know the answer to. We can participate in contests as long as we are not judging it. We can also play the lotto and raffle as the winners are random and we have no influence over who wins. Here are the games each owner can play:

Becky
All Puzzles, Remember Me, Lottery, Trade Pot, Random Freebie. A Staff Pay Randomizer is used to distribute cards equal to what would be possible to win if all games were played.
HoL
All activities except Sudoku. The staff randomizer is used to reward for this game, as Michelle is the one who makes it.

We think this is fair. If for some reason you do not or have an opinion on the matter, feel free to contact us about it and we will consider your opinion.
