GoldToken's Monthly News

  • The Latest Addition!

Be sure to check out GoldToken's newest game: Amazons! It's a two-player game played on a 10x10 board, where the goal is to isolate the opponent's Amazons.


We're 2/3 of the way through 2024. Can you believe it? School is back in session, where I live, and things are off to a smooth start. I'm looking forward to some cooler weather and fall festivities, even though it's a little early for both. Have a great September!


Wishing you much luck and tons of fun!

Testimonial Of The Month
Brought to you by: *GoldToken* Players

Hi

My sister told me about this site years ago. I talk to a couple of people on here. It's interesting as I'm learning things about America, its geography and politics. I don't play in any clubs as it's not for me. I love playing the games, I find it relaxing and it relieves boredom. I'm retired so I do have time on my hands especially in winter.
