April was a quiet month around GoldToken, but there's plenty going on behind the scenes. You never know what's coming next, but it's sure to be something exciting. Here's to a relaxing, game-filled May.
Wishing you much luck and tons of fun!

Spring Double Token Giveaway 
In April & May, we are going to give you *2*,
YES *2*,
tokens for each poll used during those 2 months!
The best part...
You get to
choose which ones you want, they just can't be ones you already have.
The rules are pretty standard, same as always. It can't have been done before, and you need to supply not just the question but several answers.
We reserve the right to revamp the question and add/take away answers.
Other than that, submit those polls to the
Pollmaster and make it soon before someone submits your idea first!
The winner for March's "Best Poll" was
RubyJoy, whose poll "
What's the very first game (or it's variant) you played at GoldToken?" informed us that most people either played backgammon or don't remember what game they played!
The winner for April was
Jools, with the opinion poll "
What Do You Think About Climate Change?"...the largest group of voters thinks "we need to find a solution soon."
- A board to solve crosswords - both cryptic and straight, UK style grids. Crosswords will be solved clue-by-clue, with the solver choosing which clue comes next. There is a mixture of themed crosswords of different sizes. Included with some of these crosswords are bonus mystery words. Crossword tokens will be awarded to the top three solvers for each crossword. The solvers are to be recorded on a "Solvers' tally" for each crossword." The host
HeatherN compiles all the crosswords for your enjoyment! So
by and check it out. You'll be glad you did!

| Testimonial Of The Month |
| Brought to you by: *GoldToken* Players |
Back in 2004, before cell phones and social media, I chanced upon a website named ItsYourTurn. I joined and played mostly backgammon, chess, and IYT's version of scrabble (Jamble). I liked it, but it lacked game varieties, friendly people, and recognition for accomplishments. While playing a backgammon game, one player commented about my play and mentioned that I should try GoldToken and that I might like it.
I was thrilled at GoldToken with the variety of games, the nice people that played, and the clubs, etc. I quickly joined (I think it was a Bronze level) but Badger (bless her heart)upgraded me to Platinum for free! I've continued my Platinum level ever since. I have played thousands and thousands of games and met SO MANY players. I've introduced many of my friends from Arizona (my home state) and other places to GoldToken. One friend was Kruntessa -- you might see his name in the Best Players section. But I have met so many players I consider friends at GoldToken, so many in fact I can't list them all! Smiling
I will continue to support Goldtoken for many more years to come!
