Recently I am noticing that when I submit my move, the display on the screen shows ALL OF THE BONEYARD along with my remaining bones. I didn't recognize the pattern at first, and ignored it. Then I began to think my score was also being affected by this. Am I crazy, or has anyone else noticed this?

There have been a lot of Dominoes-related posts on the discussion board Bug Reports.

Try posting your game #'s there for Mecir to look into.

Am I being stupid? I can make no sense at all of what I'm seeing.

I really can't tell what went on with

#14955308

-- which appears to have ended prematurely. When I played my 35 at move 59, I did so in the knowledge that my opponent would be forced to pick up the last remaining tile from the boneyard... and that I then had the opportunity to offload most of my points. He seems to have picked up that tile, but then suddenly the round was ended and he got the win. Wut?

Nor can I tell what's going on with

#14968165 and

#14968164

For both of these, we've each played one tile each, but for both games I am being shown an empty boneyard, my TWENTY tiles face-up and my opponent's remaining six tiles face down. (In both cases, my twenty tiles include other instances of the 4 or 6 I needed.)

HELP!

In this game your previous moves are recorded down the side but there is no grid on the game board showing what these refer to. It would be helpful if a grid could be added to the game board making it much easier to follow.

Modification of the global time-out value (the 60 day clock limit)
Posted by rabbitoid on 16 Oct 2025 at 10:10AM
Hi, According to Tomas (Mecir ) I was mistaken in my post on the bug board, apparently it is indeed possible to modify the Global time-out of started tournaments.

So to offset the damage done by the attacking hacker I asked him to modify the 60 day time-out to 67 days, an extra week should be sufficient to compensate for the annoyance.
Please note:
The modification modifies the 60 day time-out, it has no effect on the regular 3-day time per move.
He did not bother to modify the texts in the tournaments and the games. All I see is that the value mentioned changed from the usual "1 month and 4 weeks" to "2 months". I hope he implemented what I asked, but I can't verify that he did.
this is all new so I'd recommend not to test it by going deliberately over 60 days on the clock.
If you find anomalies, please let me know.

Hacker, please go away. There's no money to be made here.

I have 2 games where my opponent has exceeded the time limit by over 6 days.
Should these games not have timed out by now?

I saw the error in my ways….I had to start my train first, then play the other tile on the next move if it is still open.

#14727344 in this game, move 216, I am to satisfy a double twelve. I have two tiles with twelve, but the game will only let me play one of the tiles and not the other. What am I missing? Or, drum roll, please. Is this a glitch?

Somebody buy Mecir a drink! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Me too!

It is a cool option. Im glad that he did that.

It was a feature request that mecir put in a cuppla months ago. Just a convenient option.

Totally agree, it's not worth playing anymore. My opponent had 78 tiles and was passing on moves. Other sites have a limit on the number of tiles you can hold. That's much fairer. I won't be signing up for anymore rummikub games and the ones I have I'm going to play their tactics back. Can't have a game when nobody moves.

not sure other website have so many squirrels

Thank you for explaining it. I don't know of any other website that honors it's members like that.

Great, thanks!!

Those are memorials of past players whom GoldToken doesn't forget and lives in the memories of players. And the ones not here right now, may come back and their banners were in recognition and honor of their contributions to GT.

I see quite a few banners from players that aren't here anymore. But it's because they died.

Ok,thanks

many banners are very outdated, not sure anyone really monitors them

In my banner boulevard on my game sheet I get banners for people no longer on gold token, Like candy cane kas. Any one know why?? Just curious

Lol I think it just happened I noticed like 2 weeks ago

I have not noticed it until recently, and I've been here for as long as anyone can remember ha

That has been there for as long as I can remember.

I see timing out in my future. Something is not right.

far from good

I have a question, how recent was that option trade ALL tiles added to grabble and crossdown games?

Far from good

Still erratic here. I am not sure it’s fixed. Are we being cyber attacked again.

much better

I hate when I have problems on other websites but have nobody to talk to, to tell about it

And it lets them know how widespread the problem is.

They probably appreciate it though. How else would they know that we were having troubles?

Hasn't GT been around long enough such that these "glitches" are rare and quickly addressed and don't require copious user input?

Thank you for trying to help us.

I am finding it overall improved which is great but there are patches where it is struggling still. Word games are painful to play.
But things are getting better so thank you

Running even slower today.

Awesome here

Still lads slow some but running faster for the most part for me

I think it is worse here.

It does seem to be working better now. Thank you!

May be better now ... let's see!

hope they fix it soon

Same in the UK, it took over an hour this morning just to get a game sheet up

Very!! Here in Australia

It has been slow for the past week, and sometimes it crashes between moves

yes

Thanks!

Yes, see messages on bug reports

It's been totally HORRIBLE. So slow !!

It is probably at my end. But I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced a sluggish site lately.

Thanks Jools, I do use Edge on both my Windows laptop and my iPhone/iPad. Both show broken links but at least the laptop shows what the image is supposed to look like. For now I'll make my moves on the laptop. Cleaning the cache and history didn't help.

So am I -
We are sorry, but you do not have the permission to view this profile

I use Edge with no issues

It may also be a compatability issue, try a different browser. GT used to have issues with edge but I thought they had been resolved.

This sounds like a cache problem.

Periodically clear your cache to allow your browser to function more efficiently. You should clear your cache frequently by performing a "force refresh" of the page's content. Press Ctrl + F5 simultaneously. This will perform a forced refresh of this single page to pull down all new images.

That should take care of the '?' image.

I i’ve just come back from a long hiatus from GT, and I’m trying to play some new rummy cube variations. My problem is all the cards are not showing up. I simply have a blue square with a ? In it. I’m using Edge on my iPad.

What’s going on with this?

Thanks for all these replies everyone. They were all interesting to read and support and you all sure helped me out. I appreciate everyone answering my help call. You all are the best!!!

I understand people’s frustrations here but I still think this player has a visual impairment and guide dog and that’s how he keeps track of whom to challenge. I haven’t asked but it seems logical. If you don’t play checkers it won’t ever affect you. Check his games And he says he only plays checkers. Try and be a bit understanding. People are entitled to block whoever they want.

I'm blocked, lol

Hmmm...I'm blocked and never heard nor played with this player. How can he/she block so many players?

You can't be blocked otherwise they couldn't invite you to a game.
I'm able to see their profile 799867 & 21049H

That sounds logical to me

I can see the profile. It is a checker player from Ireland and I’ve chatted with this person. I don’t actually know him but seems legitimate. He appears to block anyone who doesn’t play checkers. He has a visual impairment and guide dog. My theory is that is how he tells whom to play. But just a theory.

GoldToken Support has just addressed this in a private message to tquah.

Its like they just randomly blocked a whole lot of people in here, including myself...Automatic games go thru but you can not play a wiki game or a game he even invites you to since he has you blocked.

Maybe I can see the profile because I accepted the game of Checkers. Just saying.............

Feel free to send to GoldToken Support

Out of curiosity I tried to find player 799867 & 21049H

I was blocked. I have no idea how or why. I had no previous contact unless they have changed their userv name.

I think GoldToken should look into this situation. This is not normal or in keeping with the general spirit of the site.

I had a game of checkers with them

It's not that they use numbers. It's why don't I have authority to view their profile? Never played them before so no reason to block me either. It's very strange.

I played a game with them. They are using numbers as their name here. I saw player here once they went by the name * and they play plenty of games. I would suggest that you don't accept the game if it makes you uncomfortable. You shouldn't worry too much because having a number instead of a name is no big deal.

When I tried looking up that player I get the same thing. I suspect a fake player. Ignore but hope GT does something about it.

It's happen 2 me 2 .

Yes I understand that but why. I have never played this person before who doesn't have a name.

You are blocked by that player

I was invited to a game by some numbers and when I clicked on the numbers it says I don't have the authority to view this profile. Here is the invitation.

what's going on?

Hi,
Yes, I tried all that.
I finally sent a message to Gold Token's help desk, and they fixed the issue.

Thank you for your reply
I appreciate the advice.

smelly feet AKA Sheryl

Have you tried changing it in the "Edit my account" from your profile page.
In "Edit my acct" go to Account and change it there. Then hit "Finish" at the bottom of that page.

Hi all, I'm trying to change my email.
I've tried twice with 2 different emails.
I want to change providers, but I need to change this email address first (I need to do it for a few things)
HELP - I can't change, therefore I can't pay my membership.
Thanks, smelly feet (Sheryl)

Glad you got it working again.

You gave me the clue! Thank you so much! I needed to have "Desktop Site" box checked in my phone settings for GT to be the double column, as I like. I must have, accidentally, unchecked it. If this happens, again, that's the 1st thing I'll look at. Thank you, again!

good luck

I use my phone. I don't have a computer, but you gave me an idea of something to check. Let you know if that worked.

If your on a desk top or laptop.... first make sure someone didn't post something on the gamesheet that is long//big
Also check and make sure the size of your page didn't change (press ctrl while turning the wheel on your mouse)

It's not checked & it's still a single column.

Go to your GAMESHEET
Select PREFERENCES (Listed under My Account in the big yellow box).
Select GAMESHEET
Under the heading CURRENT TIP, make sure the second box "Display the gamesheet in a single column" is NOT checked.

The display on my gamesheet went from double column, the way I like it, to single column. I have tried everything & it won't change back. Can someone, please, help me?

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at this for me

I was going to say the same. Timeout is obviously considered a move

The last move was a time out made by { Player: pagaleeta }
Check the time stamps between the "last move" and the previous and you will find three elapsed days.
The last tiles played were by the Opponent in each case

?.

On The Squares Only 40 Tournament, round 1, section 6, it says pegaleeta lost games 11, 12, and 15 for timing out. I made the last move so how did i time out when it was the other players move?

It's gone

She longer shows on ladder but I still have game.

I can't wait until GT gets drag and drop!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't the tiles light up for that purpose?

Anyway, it seems like it only annoys me, but thanks for all of your input.

In dominoes, there is a possibility of a lot of draws. In this you are limited to 3 which means you get to take note each one as you pick up.

It just seems as if the dominoes way is better. I don't see the point of clicking pick up a tile 3 times when it could be done just once.

As there is a maximum of 3 pickups, it doesn't seem that necessary, you would however no if if the last tile picked was playable or not

Is this a club game?

American Rummikub (50-point) Ladder game #14878134. I have this game with Cindy gal but she has passed away and needs to be removed from the ladder.

I'm not sure if this is the correct board to post this on, but I was just wondering why you have to pick up 1 TrioTile at a time when in Dominoes it just picks up the required amount of bones at once.

Surely TrioTiles would benefit from a Dominoes-style pick up function, does anyone else agree?

Thank you for your help. I sent the message with my email.

Hi Chimera

Even if you didn't change your address lately, the database may have an old address. Send your email address to GoldToken Support and we will fix it so that the annoying message for a code number will go away.

Why is this on the upper right of my gamesheet and how can I get rid of it? I have not changed my email.
You have entered a new e-mail address and should now enter the verification code to make that new e-mail address active......

Yes does look a bit odd and I agree it's a coding error.
I've seen other tournaments where the same player has got a bye almost every round

In the tournament https://www.goldtoken.com/games/tournaments?st=182125 Why does Acedog who was =16th / 29 players get a token ?, If it is because he got a bye in the last round then the coding needs to be changed.

I don't care what you think I don't know you & I have never seen you even play Rummikub so why are you even getting involved in this discussion? You talk of positives & negatives but you are the type of person it seems to me that could have an argument with yourself in a telephone box.

That is reading a lot into a few words. I reread that post but don't see what you're saying and think you're making a big deal out of a molehill. Zig Ziglar once said that positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.

They basically called me thick in the meantime whilst doing so suggesting that the reason for wanting a new variant is that I am not capable of hoarding the tiles & playing that way if you don't understand that this is unacceptable then I feel sorry for you

The GA did say they may consider other varients. So yes really. I think youre going overboard.

Scan to the bottom of the page, click on "INFO" then look for Goldtoken Newsletter on that page

An option would be to limit how many tiles you can place in a single turn, not counting and taken from the board that must be replaced.
There wouldn't be any point hoarding tiles if you couldn't place them all in one turn

Thank you for speaking up about it I have spoken with a number of people who agree but not all will speak up about it the point of me doing this is not to change the game itself but to get a new variant that will allow players like you & I to be able to play & enjoy it. not looking good at the moment it has to be said as they would rather criticise than help.

If I deleted the newsletter announcement but want to go back and read it, where can I find it? I've looked everywhere ... mahalo in advance for any help.

Edit: You might know I'd find it as soon as I posted. But for those who are curious it's in the footer of most web pages under "News Archive."

My excuse is that it's in small print and my eyes are old and tired

I too have spoken with a number of players that absolutely hate playing with card holders.... I wish there was a good solutions also!

I have spoken to a number of people regarding this and they are up for another variant as I suggest but if the answer is no then they should just say no. not put up offensive comments about people not being able to play in this way which as I have already said is not constructive or helpful in any way.

You can see for yourself on the best players list for Rummikub, but yes this tactic does work.

Fair enough, not sure many people share your enthusiasm for such a variant. There are other variants I would like to see more

You still don't get the point... I am asking for a NEW variant so that people who actually want to play can! Then those who want to bore people to death can bore one another til their hearts content. I am well aware of the rules & as I not stupid I understand them a pity they are ruining what could be a very good game in my opinion & yes I am entitled to my opinion!

Do people that use this tactic have a high game rating? That's an indication of whether it's an effective tactic

Unfortunately that's the rules of the game and a legitimate tactic.
It doesn't affect how I play my game however and I have just as much chance of winning as they do, probably more so in a points game

Exactly, hence it's not like rummy card games, which are more akin to American rummikub

Really? they are basically saying that we can't compete with players who hold the tiles back! You can't get anymore offensive than that! It isn't that we can't it is that we don't want to... just pressing the draw a tile button over & over again is boring all I am asking for is a variant where people want to play they can. I pay good money every year to play on this site & criticising people for their opinion is not constructive or helpful in any way shape or form

Rummikub has no discard pile

Actually gon rummy is more akin to American rummikub. All card based variants of rummy have a discard pile.
Rummikub at GT is almost identical to the commercially available game, with the exception of in that the initial meld can't be accompanied by other melds or altering melds already laid in 5hat turn. Perhaps that rule may help?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rummikub

The French rummikub variant sounds interesting

True.

Just out of Curiosity, is there any other games on here where the player plays a tactic where they win by default?

I don't see what there was to take offense at.

I take offence to this statement it isn't because we can't play against it we don't WANT to play against it,,, I thought this page was called goldtoken help well obviously you don't want to help just criticise well that's ok I won't be renewing my membership when it comes up & I have been a member here for quite a number of years & play every day, if you don't like constructive criticism then don't call it a help page. And FYI in normal gin rummy you don't have to wait days or sometimes weeks for your opponent to play

ooh that would be interesting

I would like to see a variant where you can take more than one tile from th discard pile

Thank you for your time. Much appreciated. I love all the variants.

Just like you noted Whafflet, although annoying, how the game plays is how the very specific game rules are set up. It wouldn't be right if we changed the queen to move like a king in chess just because some people don't like how other people win with it. Rummikub is very much like gin rummy. It is an annoying part of the game for some people. We do offer several variants of the game, and may consider another. But we aren't going to make the game easy because someone can't play it against other players strategies.

Well if you can think of something, please let us know.

hmm... see what you mean, yes rather boring.
but still not sure that "forcing" tiles to be played is quite the answer

Yea I should have done that with this game, game #14708252 might have saved time lol

I will only go to 40 tiles with them & when they get to that I resign! The most I have ever had before being able to go is 35... Everyone is entitled to their opinion but in my mind they are not playing the game if they just keep drawing tiles & it is extremely boring to play against I thought the games were supposed to be fun?

Not if none have been put down by your opponent at all by the end of 0 tiles and yes I agree I've had a couple where it's got up to 32 before I could meld which is why I wait until 33. There has to be a cut off point where you have to change tactics though, for those who don't just incase, cos if you don't and they put down 3 and then 1 at a time, they've automatically won by default simply because you've already put down 9 or so tiles before you realize they're playing a different tactic to you.

I've had games where I've got to well over 30 tiles but still unable to meld, it's not a tactic just bad luck.
I personally don't think a variant where you are forced to place tiles would be a good thing, but I'm willing to try it out.

A discarded tile although annoying is part of the game, however, no other game has such a difference in game play. Not all players play the same style over and over, however if by 33 tiles none are put down, I start to change my style to suit theirs, but by the time that has happened some tiles are already put down by myself, which tends to give the opponent a slight advantage against if the tiles they need are already there in place.

Simple solution, if you don't like how some people play - don't play against them!
I don't see the issue with players gathering tiles, they risk lots of penalty points if they lose the round.
A more annoying feature of the game is seeing the tile you need on the discard pile but not being able to collect it.

hi, I don't know if your proposal is the right one to "fix" the problem, but I agree that there are effectively two ways of playing the game today. And that is frustrating for a number of reasons. I think the issue with your proposal is how to make it a system requirement that you play your tiles - what if you can't make a move? and while I don't like the tactic of waiting till all tiles are drawn before you play any, I do sometimes like to draw tiles because I might be able to make a better move next time (place 4 tiles instead of 1, say). But interested in the conversation and yes a new variant might solve the problem.

A variant where you have to play the tiles you are holding, I think is a great idea. That way players who want to play tile by tile and those who rather keep their tiles until end would have a choice. Plus it would help stop a lot of the games winning by default simply on the style in which they play.

I wonder if this is the right discussion board for this but would it be possible to have a variant of Rummikub where you have to play your tiles? I am bored of those players who just continually draw tiles without playing and I know there are others who feel the same. I love the game but in my opinion it is being ruined by this tactic. What I was thinking was that if a player keeps a tile without playing deliberately or accidentally then the opponent gets 10 points on his score. I would like other peoples opinion on this & obviously would like to know if it is possible to do. I have also posted this on the platinum members board
