! The
Jokes Board board needs a volunteer host to keep it going. All that would be required would be to keep it active on your own time by:
1. Maybe posting some jokes.
2. Announcing and running contests to vote for best joke category (you'd decide) and putting up a poll (which is really easy).
3. Just having fun on the board by interacting. I mean, who doesn't like a good joke?!
Sound like something you might like to try? Send a message to
GoldToken's Newshound to let us know! We'll look forward to hearing from you!
Whoa! GoldToken's magicians have brought
Point01IV's original game, Relic Rush, to life! He won the October Contest of the Month - Best New Game Design - and our team was able to implement it. Relic Rush is a game for 2-4 players in which you control an archeologist who moves across a board, excavates relics and brings them back home, while navigating various hazards.
The game has fairly complex rules, but is designed so that you can learn it "as you go". We hope that you will enjoy it! Check out more details in the
Rules of Relic Rush.
NOTE: If you tested Relic Rush on the beta site, please be sure to post on the
Recognition Tokens discussion board to get your Beta Testing profile token! Thanks for your help with the testing phase!
Wishing you much luck and tons of fun!

| Testimonial Of The Month |
| Brought to you by: *GoldToken* Players |
I am 45 years old, married for 23 years, 1 teenager that drives us crazy. LOL. Love pugs, dogs, singing, playing games. Love crime shows, true crime, forensics, etc. From sunny AZ, born and raised. Love to travel.
I heard about GoldToken back in 2000 ish timeframe, when I was living in Germany, from my neighbor who was a player at the time. I joined and started playing back then but went away for awhile and then came back in the last year.
What I like about the site is the friendliness and camaraderie with other people who love games. The variety of games especially, since I first started GoldToken back in the day. I love that I get to play games I love against real people and learn about different people around the country/world.
I love the clubs and tournaments in the clubs. I love the fun tokens you can win. I love being a part of a fun group. The clubs have really grown and changed since I first started back in 2000 as well. I rejoined after the COVID lockdowns to reach out to others and to have something to do during quarantine. I love the turn based games. It has made me feel more connected to people.
