| Brought to you by: LittleTree |
This board is one of the more popular boards on GoldToken! Everyone loves to give input on the latest poll with a benefit of an occasional discussion started. Have you ever thought there was something you'd like to see on the poll but just never got around to submitting your idea? Now, GoldToken has added a surprise for players to make it even more fun for the contributor and the players!
During the month of
November any poll suggestion used, you (the contributor), will be able to pick the Poll token you'd like to have on your profile page. The tokens are shown at the top of the
Polls board so you can look them over and see which one you would like to have for your valuable contribution. Even if your poll isn't posted in November but at a later time, you will still receive it!
So get those brains ticking and send your suggestions to
Pollmaster along with the number of the token you would like and if approved by the
Pollmaster's team you will have another beautiful token to add to your collection!
Looking forward to seeing your ideas and voting on them!!
A grasshopper walks into a bar. The bartender looks at him and says, “Hey, they named a drink after you!” “Really?” replies the grasshopper. “There’s a drink named Stan?” 
Oh my, where are all the jokes I know you guys love so much?! The
Jokes Board board is sadly lacking entries. Think of all the jokes you know (keep them clean, please) that make you laugh and will make players laugh! I know they're out there! Millions of them online, too. AND besides getting to share these laughs with other players, your entry will be put up for votes and you could win one of the board's tokens for your profile page.
Pssstt...and we know new tokens will be shared on the boards before too long so there will be even more choices. Please remember to
Post a New Comment and
title it with your joke for voting purposes. So what are you waiting for?
Get the jokes in and make us all snort with laughter!!!

| Testimonial Of The Month |
| Brought to you by: *GoldToken* Players |
I first found goldtoken.com in February, 2001, on the boards of itsyourturn.com when I was looking for a checker's/draughts site.
I lost my original account when I was gone for more than six months from the site but when I got back you could create a permanent account which was a great idea they came up with. I've been here on and off ever since then.
The graphics on this site was better than most other sites it was easy to find yourself around on this site.
I like the checkers/draughts and variants on here. I like the backgammon and its variants on here I also like the dice style Yahtzee style games on here.
On the clubs front there's been lots of great clubs on here of which some have been around for a long time and the site has added features that have improved the clubs a lot on this site.
I live in Northampton of England I like board games. I used to collect comics and had quite a few back then. I liked science fiction films and tv shows.
I also liked the marvel cinematic universe franchise.

November's contest of the month is the

We have a winner for the Best New Game Design contest! Actually, we have TWO winners! 
to
Point01IV, who submitted a cool looking game called Tic-Tac-Stack. In his own words, "Tic-Tac-Stack is a new 3-in-a-row twist that involves skill, foresight, and a little luck." It's a game for 2-4 players.
Point01IV, please be sure to write to
GoldToken Support to claim your 2-month membership extension!
to
ErzyaKS, as well, who submitted an awesome chess variant called Grand Dice Chess.
ErzyaKS says of the game, "Don't be afraid of the 12x12 board and the seemingly strange initial placement of pieces...Let me just say that I was partly inspired by Oblong Chess, which was known in the 9th century and was the earliest Chess game played with dice."
ErzyaKS, please be sure to write to
GoldToken Support to claim your 2-month membership extension!
