There has been some confusion (my fault entirely) regarding Custom Club Tokens. Customized tokens are possible by winning a Club vs Club tournament...any of them. Be the club that wins the most tournaments within the tournament, send GoldToken Support a note complete with the linked details and your club will get custom tokens. If only one game is played in that tournament, Backgammon for examply, then the club the winner plays for, wins! Once your club has custom token's, you can have the tokens applied to your tournaments by sending GoldToken Support 2 Golderos and including a link to the tournament, and they will be issued automatically. The first set is always free!
While it's not something you will see, Mecir upgraded GoldToken's payment system to make it safer for you and comply with changing technology this last January. GoldToken still uses PayPal as our payment merchant, because it's been my experience it's the safest way to manage funds online. However, if you aren't comfortable with PayPal, we still accept money orders and checks through the mail. Please let us know on the Bug Reports should you experience any issues with our upgraded system.

Why do I keep getting suggestions to invite a random player to a game? One of the frustrating things about playing board games is finding an opponent who is just right for you. As Goldilocks discovered when she visited the home of the three bears, you don't want an opponent who is much more skilled at the game than you are, nor do you want one who offers little challenge. One of the great features of this site is our Suggested Opponents. Here is how it works:We use a rating system. This site uses a rating system to estimate your skill in every game you play. The more games you complete, the more accurate this rating system becomes. You can read about Ratings for more details. We make suggestions. Based on your performance in the games you have completed, we will suggest opponents that we feel will offer a good competition to you. We do this by comparing your rating to the ratings of other players at this site, and then recommending the players who most closely match your skill level. The suggestions change according to your skill. If you are just getting started, we make suggestions based on our average player. If you end up winning the game, we suggest a more skilled opponent for the next game. If you end up losing, our next suggestion will be against another player who is also still getting the hang of the game. As your skills in the game improve, so will the skill set of your suggested opponents. We'll find the right opponent for you! This feature can be turned on or off in your Preferences, on the Gamesheet tab - "show a game suggestion". When activated, you'll see the suggestion on the lower right-hand side of your gamesheet. * If you have a question about a site tip or helpful tool you would like answered next month, please send GoldToken's Newshound a message before the 25th of this month.

| Up front & personal |
| Interview by: laura lee |
I was playing on IYT and was unhappy with the people there and a person told me about GoldToken and here I am. Been here since 2006.
It is my late husband's favorite bush so I took it for my name. (It is a beautiful bush)
The way everyone makes this such a family based site. I have made such wonderful friends here.
Favorite game here?
Gee, that is hard. I love most of the Rummikub games but I also love cribbage. Don't know which one would be tops. I play so many others also.
Sigh, I live in Texas, been here 27 years and plan on going home soon. My sister z71cat and I are selling our home here and moving back to Michigan.
What in your state or country do you think a tourist should definitely see?
Here in Texas, I would recommend seeing Big Bend National Park. It is AWESOME! In Michigan, I would say drive up the coast of Lake Michigan and then go across the Mackinaw Bridge. It also is AWESOME!
My main passion is gardening, followed by crocheting, sewing, jewelry makingand can't forget
camping (tent) and fishing!
I have 4 children.Grandchildren?
I have 8 grandchildren
and 12 great-grandchildrenwith twins
expected in August. Wow, do I feel old at times,
Retired and loving it!What kind of work did you do?![]()
I was one of the first 5 female Firefightersin the State of Michigan and a State Licensed Ambulance Attendant also. Otherwise busy raising children.
Yep! Right now we have 4 catswhich were raised from about 4 weeks old (feral kittens) 1 dog,
and 1 stupid bird (Cockatiel).
These amounts could change in the blink of an eye.
Definitely over 50...Male or Female?
Female![]()
I have been to Germany and while there went to France and Luxemburg.
AT HOME in Michigan sitting before the fireplace with a hot cup of chocolate and my laptopplaying GT. Can you tell I really want to move home,
Spring, it's renewal timeand I have summer and fall ahead of me.
