You are invited to play in GoldToken’s premier winter tournament, the 2022 Winter Olympic Games! This is a set of automated tournaments pitting player against player and team against team. Each player chooses which game types to play and how many games to play. If interested, please join The GoldToken's Olympics Master Club! Click the link and look for the "invitations" box on the right-hand side of your screen, then click "yes" to join. If on a mobile device, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click “yes” to join. That's all you need to do to declare your desire to play - no need to send a PM or post a message on the discussion board. Please stay in the Master Club until the games begin. Note: If you have joined the club in the past, you will need to re-join. The club is emptied prior to each new Olympics set-up.Team assignments will be made in the coming weeks, and you'll be invited to join your specific team's club then. At that time, you will be able to sign up for the games you wish to play. Players can sign up for as few or as many games as they care to, subject to membership restrictions. The first batch of games will begin in January (exact date to be announced soon). For more information about the GoldToken Olympics, check out this wiki with information about rules, prizes, and previous Olympics scores: [ Main: Goldtoken Olympics ].
During the month of December, the discussion board hosts are offering Christmas profile tokens! If a player wins a contest or participates in an event on one of the boards, then the player may choose which Christmas token they want. See the individual discussion boards for information on how to earn these beautiful tokens. There are 15 of them to choose from, and you'll find them in the discussion board headers! I hope you have a very happy holiday season, in whatever way you celebrate. Wishing you much luck and tons of fun! --heyred72 In this month's newsletter, we have: Birthdays & Special Announcements Photozone Competition Discussion Boards in the Spotlight Photo Album of the Month Game Of The Month Best Recipe Contest Pony Up!

GoldToken has been my games site of choice for 17 years this month. I can’t believe it has been so long! When I first joined, as with so many others I was introduced by an opponent on IYT. The variety of games here was an instant big plus for me (and the number of different games just continues to grow and grow). As a middle-aged Englishman I have always enjoyed the traditional games such as dominoes and whist and was just beginning out with backgammon so to find them all available here was fantastic. I tend to now also play variants of those games and am also a fan of the Shake games (I still have the board/dice game Yahtzee at home which I got one Christmas as a teenager!). Cribbage has become my favourite game though since joining GT having never previously played it. Having always played sport I have to confess to being reasonably competitive and I mostly stick to tournaments, particularly the Olympics, on here. I’ll have a sneaky peek 🫣 at the Best Players and Ladder tables now and again to see how I compare 😀 but I enjoy playing with and learning from the better players. You are never too old to learn! I don’t mind chatting and getting to know about other players but completely understand those who just want to play and am happy with that approach too. It’s good to come across players local to me (even in the city where I used to work!) as well as those on the other side of the world and who knows, maybe one day I’ll get to meet one of them in person! Finally I’d just like to say a massive thanks to you, the site admins and all of the club owners and helpers who have made this site one I just can’t live without 😀 nw2425

Now that Thanksgiving is over, Christmas is right around the corner. The GoldToken Fairy has lots of Christmas icons to choose from. Drop by the Icon Mania board, then click on Name Icons link to check out your options. Make your request on the Icon Mania discussion board, and your player name will be all set for Christmas! Some of the icon offerings on the board are { Image: www.goldtoken.com/pics/icon2211250829261.gif } or { Image: www.goldtoken.com/pics/icon19032219303218.png }. Hurry, they're going fast! Please keep in mind if you have a holiday icon already saved, you must use that OR exchange it for another one from the board so all players can choose from different icons and feel the love! Also, if there are icons you haven't used for a year, please use or return them so they are not lost forever. I know it's easy to forget what you have so I will be sending out messages to players that have unused icons, reminding them. Platinum can save 9, Gold 7, and Silver 1. Be sure to check out the Icon Of The Day. You never know what will pop up as it changes often! Wishing all players a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
