September's winner is: Buffalo Chicken and Potato Casserole
Buffalo Chicken and Potato Casserole Ingredients o 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes o 8 medium potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (you can leave the skin on or peel it off) o 1/3 cup olive oil o 1 1/2 teaspoons salt o 1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper o 1 tablespoon paprika o 2 tablespoons garlic powder o 6 tablespoons hot sauce** Topping: o 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese o 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon o 1 cup sliced green onions Sauce: o Blue cheese/ranch dressing Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 500F (Not a typo!) 2. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, hot sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. 3. Add the potatoes and toss to coat. 4. Place the potatoes in a greased baking dish. 5. When scooping the potatoes into the baking dish, leave behind any extra olive oil/hot sauce mix for your chicken. 6. Add the diced chicken to the leftover olive oil/hot sauce mix and stir to coat all the chicken. Allow the chicken to marinate as the potatoes bake. 7. Roast the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway, until cooked through and nice and crispy on the outside. 8. Remove potatoes from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 400°F. 9. Place the raw chicken (yes, raw) on top of the potatoes and cook for 20 minutes or until the chicken is done. 10. In a large bowl, mix all the topping ingredients together. 11. Top the chicken with the topping and bake for 5-10 minutes or until topping is melted and bubbly. 12. Serve with extra hot sauce and blue cheese/ranch dressing. This is pretty spicy, if you want it milder, use less hot sauce.

I've been a member of Goldtoken for over 20 years, and in that time, I've made some truly wonderful friends. While I don't recall exactly how I first discovered Goldtoken, I'm so grateful that I did. The lasting friendships I've built here are remarkable; who would have thought you could forge such deep connections online? I love the variety of games available, with Rummikub and Mahjongg being particular favorites of mine. Although I’m only involved in a couple of clubs, I believe that having fewer commitments allows me to focus more on the people I meet and the games I enjoy. The friends I’ve made have certainly enriched my life and brought me a lot of happiness. ZOE
Best New Game Design October's contest is the best New Game Design submitted throughout the month. You can include your own graphics, opt to use graphics already available on GoldToken, or if chosen as the winning entry, possibly have your graphics designed by our professional graphic artists. All entries will be reviewed for playability, and judged by GoldToken's Graphic Arts team. The winning game will be announced in November's newsletter. Winner will receive two extra months on their current membership, or, if Guest, a two-month Silver membership, and see their new game added to GoldToken's collection of games (as long as it is feasible to code), sometime during this next year. There are a number of steps involved in creating a new board game. A new game design can be a variation of a current game or entirely new, but it must be original and not a game found anywhere else. Start with variations of games that you love, that you loved as a child etc. Work out what makes these games fun, what’s wrong with these games, what could be better. Look at all different kinds of games from many different genres. This is the most fun part of game design. We hope you enjoy planning your entry! Entries must be sent to GoldToken's Newshound no later than 11:59PM, Pacific Time, Wednesday, October 30th. We have a winner for Club Owner of the Year!to monkeytyper, owner of The Monkeytyper's Gaming Paradise Club! This club has been around for over 18 years. There's a fun variety of games and discussion boards, and membership is open to anyone who'd like to join. If you're considering joining a new club, this might be just what you're looking for! monkeytyper, please be sure to write to GoldToken Support and reference this contest to claim your two-month membership extension.
