GoldToken's Monthly News


  • There's something fishy going on!

In April, we introduced the new two-player game "Polar Poultry"! Try to collect more fish than your opponent. There's still time to sign up and play in The May 2015 — New game, Polar Poultry Tournament! Thanks with hearts to Jools for designing the beautiful graphics, and to Mecir whose brains and programming capabilities allowed us to implement the game here on GoldToken! Dancing

  • GoldToken's Beta Site

There's an interesting development being tested for the Hangman games! Gold and Platinum members are invited to help with testing at: http://beta.goldtoken.com/. We appreciate player input during the testing phase! Thanks with hearts

  • Year of the Horse Token - Speediest Players

Are you a speedy player? If you have completed a game with an average of less than 24 hours per move (check your clock time and divide it by your total number of moves) you are eligible for this beautiful Token: . Send a PM to GoldToken Support with a link to the game number.

For example, take a look at game #5481739, (linked by typing: { Game#5481739 }). My clock time, visible under the game board, is 08:17 (8 hours and 17 minutes). My total moves are 9, also seen beneath the game board. I'll round for simplicity. 8.25 hours/9 moves = .92 hours per move. It definitely qualifies as a speedy game. Smiling


Summer is almost here, in my part of the world! We've got a nest with 4 baby robins in one of the windows on the second floor. The babies from a different nest have been learning to fly in our front yard. It's so much fun to watch them! Our 3 cats (indoor, thank goodness!) like to watch them too. Conjuring cat I hope you've got some interesting happenings in your outdoor environment, too! Offering flower

1st Stop Information
Site tips and helpful tools

Clubs & Federations

About GoldToken Clubs

Clubs are groups of like-minded players who join together to talk, share common beliefs, debate, or play games and challenge other clubs in competitions. GoldToken's special style of clubs, with their private chat groups and close camaraderie are unique to GoldToken alone. You just can't find any other turn based game site with the advanced club capabilities that are featured here.

Joining Clubs

In order to start a club, you must have purchased a Gold Membership.

To join a club that has already been formed, you only need to have a Silver Membership.

Don't miss out! If you are a Wood or Guest member, you can find out more about our Membership Options and then purchase a Silver, Gold or Platinum Membership to join one of GoldToken's clubs.

How to join a club:

  1. If you wish to join a club that you do not already belong to, write the club's owner or presidents
  2. If a club is set to Open Invite, skip step 3, and move down to step 4, and click the yes link
  3. When you receive an invite to a club, open the message and click the clubs link
  4. Once on the club front page, look for this message just under the right hand section titled Invitations:
    • You have been invited to become a member of this club. Do you want to join?
    • Yes - No
  5. Click the Yes link to join, click No to decline
  6. If you clicked yes, you are now a member of that club Thumbs up

Club Features

By joining a club, you join a group of players all centered around a certain type of game or group theme. Included in the club privileges are:
  • Private Club Discussion Boards
  • Private Club News
  • Private Club Polls
  • Private Club wikis
  • Personalized Club invites
  • Open Club game invites
  • Club seating charts
  • Club Challenge games
  • Club Ladder games
  • Club vs Club tournaments
  • Club Rankings vs other clubs
  • Inter-Club Ladders
  • Locking wikis - For Platinum club presidents
Using these features, the group can bond together and plan strategies with the discussion board, form consensus with the polls, and be alerted to events and happenings with the club news.
The seating chart allows club members to see how well their game skills compare to others within the club, and the club challenge feature allows them to quickly start games with other club members, while other club members are provided a quick link to view the game. The Club vs Club Tournaments are invites to a challenge that are sent from one club to another.

Club Options

Like all new sites, the club might take a little to figure out, but hopefully you will find it fairly straight forward. Here is a brief description of what each of the abilities manage:

Just under the Club Boards, you will see a Club Options box. These are your management tools.

Club Options
MembershipAllows you to manage the members
Read the Club's News ArchiveThe place to review old news items
See Club PollsThe place to review old polls
Administer Discussion BoardsAllows you to add/delete/edit the clubs forums
Change Club settingsSelect games offered, edit club name, change club logo, etc.
Set Club profileEdit the club information that players see when looking at the club

Club & Federation Logos

  • The maximum size for a club logo is 600x200.
  • GoldToken's federations also have a second image box, titled Federation Picture. The maximum size for this second image is 600x600
  • Uploads for all images are limited to 2 MB. However, the effective maximum would be a bit lower due to protocol overhead.

Please note: The format for these images must be either JPG, GIF or PGN. If the image is larger than the dimensions noted above, it will be automatically shrunk. If you are doing an animated image, be sure not to exceed these dimensions, as the shrinking also causes the animation to be lost (only the first frame is retained).

Club Officer Abilities

  • Owner (sign players up on team rosters within the club, or remove the player from those rosters by checking or clearing the boxes beside each game name, able to close the club or transfer it to another owner, promote officers, edit the club settings, profile and boards, and all the abilities below.)

  • President (everything the owner can do except close the club or transfer ownership)
  • Vice Pres (all functions below)
  • Referee privilege (reorder club seating)
  • Newshound privilege (write Club news)
  • Whip privilege (moderate Club boards)

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


I first heard about GoldToken around 2010, at the time I was a member of ITY and YTMT. Was doing my turns at those two places, when I happened to glace over at my wife playing a card game, and asked her where she was at to play that game. She replied GoldToken, and was amazed that there was a turn-based game that you can play card games.

So I started out in GoldToken with a guest membership, to try it out, and found out in no time to go ahead and get a paid membership because I really liked the look and feel of the games I started playing. Then I found the tournaments, and was astonished at how well GoldToken's tournaments was run, their tournaments was awesome.
Guess what? I was really getting addicted to GoldToken, that I ended up getting first a Gold, and Finally a Platinum member ship, and quitting ITY and YTMT, because I was spending all my time with GoldToken, a bigger selection of games, with a variety of each game, very friendly people, with many clubs to choose from.

Needless to say, if someone asks me for a place to play games, I immediately say 'GoldToken'

We have a winner for the Best Prank Ever!


Congratulations to hypnotist for submitting the Best Prank Ever, "Phony Phone Call":

A company at which I worked many years ago at long last installed a sophisticated PABX (private automatic branch exchange) which placed a multitude of advanced functions in the hands of each telephone extension user. The two functions relevant to this story are 1. Picking up a call from another extension in the office if a phone rang & 2. Requesting an automatic callback if the extension which had been dialed was busy, once the extension was free.

I shall change the names to protect the innocent. I'm the guilty party so it doesn't matter if you know who I am.

John had left his desk to consult Paul at his desk about some technical detail which is not relevant to this story. During the discussion Paul's phone rang & Paul answered it. I noticed the combination of factors at once & headed for John's desk where I lifted his phone, dialled Paul's number & got the busy tone as expected. I quickly punched in the code to request an automatic callback, quietly replaced the receiver, & headed back to my desk.

Shortly afterwards Paul wrapped up his telephonic conversation & replaced his telephone receiver on the cradle.

The PABX detected that Paul's line was free & commenced the callback by ringing John's extension.

John heard his phone ring &, rather than run back to his desk to take his incoming call, picked up Paul's phone intending to punch in the code to pick up a call from another phone in the office.

The PABX detected that Paul's extension was no longer free so stopped ringing John's phone.

John hung up Paul's telephone receiver.

The PABX detected that Paul's extension was again free so again commenced the callback process by ringing John's line.

John again heard his phone ring & again picked up Paul's phone to remotely retrieve his incoming call.

The PABX again detected that Paul's extension was no longer free so stopped ringing John's phone.

John again heard his phone stop ringing so put down Paul's phone.

John's phone started ringing again.

John picked up Paul's phone again.

John's phone stopped ringing.

John put down Paul's phone.

John's phone started ringing again.

John picked up Paul's phone.

John's phone stopped ringing.

John put down Paul's phone.

John's phone started ringing again.

John, realising that something wasn't quite working as it should, gave up on trying to retrieve his incoming call remotely & dashed across the length of the office to his desk & snatched up his phone.

The PABX detected that John had picked up his phone & that Paul's extension was still free so rang Paul's phone which he picked up.

John said, "Hello".

Paul said, "Hello".

A moment of silence ensued.

John asked, "Who is that?"

Paul said, "It's Paul.. Who is that?"

John said, "It's John. Why did you phone me? I was at your desk just a moment ago."

Paul said, "I didn't phone you, you phoned me!"

John said, "No I didn't, my phone was ringing & I ran from your desk to my desk to answer it."

To this day I'm sure they haven't worked out what happened.

hypnotist will be given a "one time" access to the entire list of site icons, and can select any one that is not currently being used by another player, regardless of membership level (Guests, Wood and Silver members can keep the icon for 1 year!). Dancing

BIG NEWS from funtobewith11!!! He is starting a new club called "The Training New or Experienced Club Owners Club".

It will be open to all once the classrooms are set up. Right now he is looking for teachers that would like to help out. They will be given a subject and will be expected to run a wiki to tech what to do and to answer questions that might come up. Right now he is looking for teachers in all areas except Wikis. What to join in on this, send funtobewith11 a message for more information. Hope to see you there as this is a wonderful concept.
