We had lots of fun on the Pony Up! discussion board last month. The limerick turned out awesome, and we played some "GT Family Feud" and a new game called "SO YOU WANT TO BE A GOLDEROAIRE" .
How Much Is That Doggie is a game where you would look for pictures of the GT members' pets that I posted by going to the profile and then to the photo albums. There are some really cute and special pets out there Playing with dog and believe me they were found faster than I thought they would be. Thumbs up
Right now we have a new animal to find a name for. Winner will get the Pony Up Board Winner Token for their profile. Send you entries (one per member) to me, PattyMac. We will put them up for a vote on 10/15.

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

HI, I joined GT in 2010; I find it to be a friendly group of people. I probably found it using Google.
I was a Pogo player before finding GT but not so much anymore.
My favorite games are American Rummikub and Tourne-case.
I belong to The Friendship Club, The Multi-Player Gaming Center Club, The Prime Time TV Club and some Olympic clubs.

Contest of the Month

Best New Game Design

October's contest is for the Best New Game Design submitted throughout the month. You can include your own graphics, opt to use graphics already available on GoldToken, or if chosen as the winning entry, possibly have your graphics designed by our professional graphic artists. All entries will be reviewed for playability and judged by GoldToken's Graphic Arts team. The winning game will be announced in November's newsletter. Winner will receive two extra months on their current membership, or, if Guest, a two month Silver membership, and see their new game added to GoldToken's collection of games (as long as it is feasible to code) sometime during this next year. Please send your entries to GoldToken Support.

There are a number of steps involved in creating a new board game. A new game design can be a variation of a current game or entirely new, but it must be original and not a game found anywhere else. Start with variations of games that you love, that you loved as a child etc. Work out what makes these games fun, what’s wrong with these games, what could be better. Look at all different kinds of games from many different genres. This is the funnest part of game design. We hope you enjoy planning your entry!



We have a winner for 2018's Club Owner of the Year!


Congratulations to Nancy, owner of THE CLUB! Confetti Check out THE CLUB's homepage to see what it's all about. Nancy, please be sure to write to GoldToken Support to claim a two-month extension to your membership. High five
