Have you checked out our brand new game, Ordo? It's a two-player game, somewhat similar to Checkers. The goal is to isolate or capture all the opponent's pieces. The amazing graphics for this game were designed by
porkpie1.
- I get by with a little help from my friends!
Do you have an idea for a great annual newsletter contest? I'm looking for a few new ideas! If you've got one, please send a PM to
GoldToken's Newshound.
Wishing you much luck and tons of fun!

This past month,
LittleTree had a tongue twister contest. It was a unique tongue twister using a player's screen name. See if you can say this really fast three times: "Handyman humorously handles hundreds of jobs as he helps humans harassed with harrowing home enhancements." lol...I got all twisted up on that one...
JanuarySnowAngel won with this brilliant tongue twister.
Mary won the Music lyric contest. Be sure to catch the fun this week; we're bringing back some Family Feud! and another Club Crawl.
Join in on the fun. See you on the
Pony Up! discussion board!
**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**
We would like to say
to
kruntessa for letting us step into their personal life for a bit.
1. What brought you to GoldToken, and how'd you choose your name for GT?
My friend Gene (Buddha) introduced me to the site a few years ago, then I finally broke down and did a membership, 
We were old bridge (card game) (unknown photo) buddies back from the '70s and thru the 90's. The name came from an old handle an ex-girlfriend gave me when we played the NTN trivia in bars... origin unknown.
2. What interests you most on GT? Do you have a favorite game?
My favorite games include the backgammons, 
cribbage (unknown photo) and others, but right now my favorite is All Aboard! 
3. What state or country do you reside in? What do you think tourists should definitely see?
I live in a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona, called Chandler, hot in the summer and awesome right now. The obvious place for a tourist in the state would be the Grand Canyon, and the desert foliage, especially when it blooms, is amazing. Saguaro cacti are also not to be missed, standing like troops of soldiers on the hills, and only found in the Sonoran desert region.
4. What hobbies do you have?
My main hobby is golf 
and of course GoldToken, 
and I am the commissioner of 3 fantasy football leagues 
in the fall which is like a second, part-time job.
5. Children? Grandchildren?
I have two grown sons 
now residing in Washington state, one is a PHD who is an ecological engineer, the other is a teacher near Pullman. They have not yet seen fit to sire any children.
6. Do you work? What kind of work do/did you do?
Though I just turned 65 last month, I still hold a regular full time job which is dealing poker (unknown photo) on one of the many reservation casinos here. My location is called Talking Stick Resort which borders Scottsdale and is a destination for many tourists, gamblers, and conventions too.
7. Any pets?
No pets, unless you count the numerous bears 
around the house who just like to watch TV all day.
8. Are you under 30?___ 30 to 50? ___ or over 50? Male or Female?
As I noted prior, I am a 65 year old male.
9. What's the farthest you've been from home?
The farthest I have ever journeyed from home was to the Ukraine in 2007. 
10. If you could be anywhere right now, where would that be?
Where would I be if I could be anywhere? Right where I'm at. The 'what if' game doesn't interest me, I can do it vicariously through numerous poker players every day. 
11. Favorite season?
Favorite season? Salt.
Next is summer ;;short;; when the golf rates plummet and wonderful new venues are now affordable.
12, Favorite movie? Actor?
Favorite movie? Not just one in particular, however, The 'Shawshank Redemption' and 'Forrest Gump' are two all time classics I enjoy. As for actors, can't hardly ever go wrong with Hanks or Nicholson.
13. If you could meet anyone (living or dead) in the world, who would it be ?
Another 'what if' eh? Well, I certainly wouldn't want to meet anybody dead, the conversation would be quite one-sided. And there is no one person now I covet meeting... and let them be articulate and witty.
If there are any questions you would like to see asked in future interviews, please let us know.

Name: David
Age: 36 - next Friday 37
Location: UK
I used to be on IYT ( Itsyourturn ) before I came to GT. I don't remember who told me about it. I've been here since 2002, still on today, so it's been
17 years I've been on GT. In a way it's like a family.
I like how quickly the things in GT get fixed and bugs get sorted also the vast range of games that are being added.

Best Club Banner
Enter GoldToken's
Club Banner Contest! The winning banner will be given one full year to run! All entries will rotate(unknown photo) with the other banners on top of player game sheets for 30 days from the day they are added to the system. The entry deadline is March 27, 2019. To enter, post a new, never before seen 800x90 or 200x200 pixel club banner on the
Club Presidents DB along with the club number. The winning entry will be chosen by poll on that discussion board.
All top banners

Free banners created using these systems can be incredible and very professional. Here are a few links to sites that provide this service, however, you might wish to find others more suited to your taste and abilities by Googling "Free Banners".
