Testimonial Of The Month

Brought to you by: *GoldToken* Players

Hello.

I found out about this site from the TRAX website, as a site where you could play TRAX. I joined in August, 2003.
I came in first place in the 2009 Olympics, and second place in the 2018 Summer Olympics. I was the first winner
of the Overall Competition club contest. The Overall Competition suited my strengths of though not being the best
at many games, still being good at many of them.

Currently I have been really enjoying GoldFences, the senet games, and the diagonal duel games. They are lighter
games that still have room for some strategy.

Sincerely,
Jim
