The kids are back in school, the wonderful vibrant colors are coming out in the trees and the stores are all set up for Hallothanksmas . I am looking forward to Halloween at the end of the month because I love seeing all the fun costumes the kids (and some adults) come up with.

I joined this wonderful site 10 years ago through the introduction from my sister generous52 and I haven't missed many days without visiting it.. ( it's addicting ) I have met so many wonderful friends here that I feel like this is my second family. People here truly care about each other. The games are the best you're going to find, better than any other game site! I stay here so much that I run a Club or two or maybe three or four.. lol I stopped counting. The owner Badger is so sweet and kind hearted and has an awesome team to help her run this site. I am totally blessed to be a member of the family here. ladyvic
Best New Game Design October's contest is the best New Game Design, submitted by PM to GoldToken Support, 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. There are a number 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, never submitted before, 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 funnest part of game design. We hope you enjoy planning your entry! 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 venue of games (as long as it is feasible to code), sometime during this next year. We have a winner for 2015's Club Owner of the Year!to porkpie1 of the The Pork Chop Club! He will receive a 2-month extension to his current membership!
