GoldToken is always busy looking for ways to improve your playing fun. This month, the biggest change was arranging to hide the Picture Hunt logos someplace besides the Platinum profiles! To celebrate this new change, we are offering a Limited Edition Black and White Embroidered GoldToken Baseball T-Shirt to the first winner. GoldToken Embroidered Baseball Caps, cool GoldToken Squiggly Pens and Silver Memberships are the other prizes offered for those who correctly guess all 12 locations of GoldToken Junes Wedding Logos!

We hope you enjoy it and show each writer your appreciation with a special "thank you"!
Selecting the best pens and products to represent GoldToken is a big undertaking. Sadly,
I do not have time to keep doing it alone. So am seeking a few players interested in testing, rating and helping to chose the newest GoldToken items. Would you like to preview GoldToken promotional items before they are released or help in deciding what "Perfect" promotional products GoldToken should make available? If so, then The Leitmotiv de la Journe Club is for you! But it is even better! You help others become members at the same time! This is a subscription club and by invite only. - U.S. players subscribe by Adopting a Guest (a player who has never been a member before) or sponsoring a membership tournament once every three months
- U.K. and European players subscribe by Adopting a Guest (a player who has never been a member before) or sponsoring a membership tournament once every two months (postage is higher)
- Receive a GoldToken product each month to review, test and rate (this may include but not be limited to mugs, pens, notepads, clocks)
- Help decide new items imprint and design
- Chose the best items to represent GoldToken

| Games Corner by rogerrabbit |
| This month's feature: Domino Tactics written by GoldToken's top domino player |
Dominoes are a game normally played face to face. Playing it on line is harder as you can't remember always what dominoes you opponent as played. So here are a few tips:
- You have only 3 chances to play a double so play it the first chance you get
- Try to make sure you can play at both ends if possible then you will be sure you can play next move
- If you have a few low dominoes stitching it up so no one can play may be a better idea than trying to play on and end up losing
- Don’t stitch it up if the double is still out and there’s a few dominoes in the bone yard...your opponent could have it, or worse, pick it up leaving you to pick up the bone yard.
I hope these tips help you to play a lot better and look forward to playing you soon! ~~rogerrabbit

| Break a GoldToken Record |
| By Reversi Queen |
Hi everyone;
I just told Badger that I had the longest giveaway backgammon with Feaster, we have been playing since Nov. 19th 2002.
I was very surprised that it has lasted this long.
So I was just wondering if anybody else on GoldToken has or had a game that has lasted this long or even longer??
Badger is offering a GoldToken Laser Engraved Pen prize for anyone who has an ongoing game that has been played longer!!!
I'm putting a challenge to see if anyone can break this record of playing the longest game EVER
I hope you all have fun trying to beat my and Feaster's record. Thanks & Good Luck!

At 06.45 I heard a loud bang, which woke me up, then a rat-a-tat-tat on my door, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so I got up out of bed with my pj's on to find a postman standing at my door, waiting to give me a parcel, as I was wiping sleep out of eyes, I didn't really look at the parcel, as I was waiting for stuff to arrive from e-bay, so I went back up stairs and climbed into bed, and fell asleep for another half hour.
When my alarm went off, I done the usual routine of going to the bathroom, had a shower, and trudged off downstairs for my morning cuppa.
Then I remembered my parcel, so off I went to fetch it of the table I had left it on, and to my surprise, it was from Gold token with us stamps all over it, and there i found my name, so I quickly & excitedly opened it, to find some lovely GT stuff!!!
2 mugs, a mousemat, a couple pens & a handful of wood tokens!!!! Wow, then mugs are real cool, so made a cuppa in them and it now sits proudly on my desk, with my new mouse mat & pen......I am going to give out my wood tokens to my friends, so they can come & see what a great site we really have!!!
Thank you so much Mary, much appreciated........... :0)
