You are invited to play in GoldToken’s premier winter tournament, the 2021 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.
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 ].
We are pleased to announce a new game variant is available! Fian is the creative genius behind the rules for the Gami game, as well as this variant. This version begins with all 24 cards face up in the "stockyard" and players take turns choosing cards. Be careful, though! If your opponent picks up a card that forms a gami with any other two cards in his or her hand, he or she gets to remove any one card from your hand.
See the Rules of Gami: Stockade for more information. 
Wishing you much luck and tons of fun!

December's game of the month is Ludocrous! Join us in a fun Double Elimination Tournament by signing up today for The Game of the Month - Dec 2021 - Ludocrous Tournament!
It's a race to get your four playing pieces onto the board and then around it and into your "home" space. Check out the Rules of Ludocrous for more information.
We hope you enjoy it!
November's winner is: Leftover Turkey Sliders
Ingredients
6 – 8 slider rolls (either Kings Hawaiian or regular slider rolls) sliced in half
Cooked turkey, ham or other lunchmeats
Provolone cheese
Cranberry relish
Melted butter – ¼ cup or as needed
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp poppy seeds
Directions:
Coat baking pan with a butter or oil spray to prevent sticking. Line up the rolls in the pan with the tops open. Mix the melted butter, garlic and onion powders and poppy seeds. Brush the inside of the rolls lightly with the butter mixture. Lay in thin slices of turkey (or ham or lunchmeat) and add in a thin slice of cheese or two. Close up the sandwich and brush with the remaining butter mixture. Cover with foil. Bake covered in a 400° oven for about 15 minutes, uncover and continue to bake for another 5 minutes. Serve with cranberry relish.
This is a very forgiving recipe, so use what you have on hand. Leftover turkey is wonderful!

Way back in 2000 I reunited with a fellow I had gone steady with in high school some 42 years earlier and we married. He played chess and was surprised when I mentioned I had always wanted to learn to play chess. One of my sons had somehow come across GoldToken and mentioned it to me so in September of 2001 I joined GoldToken to learn to play chess with my son and surprise my husband. Sadly, I lost my husband in 2008 and that's when I found a "world" of support from my friends here at GoldToken. It still brings tears to my eyes when I think about all the messages I received. So it should be no surprise that some 20 years later I'm still here on GoldToken playing all kinds of games and making friends with people from all over the world! I live in the country and GoldToken is my outlet to the outside world. I had joined many clubs and when Scoopdedew needed help in her club she asked me if I'd help her. When she passed away I couldn't let the club dissolve so that was my first venture as a club owner. Somehow I happily became involved helping many other clubs set up and keep their tourneys running. GoldToken is a large part of my heart which breaks every time we lose a member. This isn't a game site....it's a family.

| Testimonial Of The Month |
| Brought to you by: *GoldToken* Players |
Way back in 2000 I reunited with a fellow I had gone steady with in high school some 42 years earlier and we married. He played chess and was surprised when I mentioned I had always wanted to learn to play chess. One of my sons had somehow come across GoldToken and mentioned it to me so in September of 2001 I joined GoldToken to learn to play chess with my son and surprise my husband. Sadly, I lost my husband in 2008 and that's when I found a "world" of support from my friends here at GoldToken. It still brings tears to my eyes when I think about all the messages I received. So it should be no surprise that some 20 years later I'm still here on GoldToken playing all kinds of games and making friends with people from all over the world! I live in the country and GoldToken is my outlet to the outside world. I had joined many clubs and when Scoopdedew needed help in her club she asked me if I'd help her. When she passed away I couldn't let the club dissolve so that was my first venture as a club owner. Somehow I happily became involved helping many other clubs set up and keep their tourneys running. GoldToken is a large part of my heart which breaks every time we lose a member. This isn't a game site....it's a family.
