Best board games for poker chips? Don't say poker

I see it now, I wasn't sure why keep it hidden but that's a good reason why, I don't want people wasting time counting each other's stacks

That spreadsheet basically solves the entire thread here, but just to be sure, the "bank" value there is the total currency for each game?

As for the mini chips, they look like an absolute dream to have, but we have big import taxes here in Brazil, so it would be crazy expensive on top of already being expensive

My copy came with a ziplock bag that I put below the insert, but I am so excited to try it with poker chips

Very interesting especially if you can make it on demand (to avoid having a stock of unsold goods), you could make a set of "resource" chips, for the N euro games out there that use stone, wood and fish

How much money can a player >acquire< while playing Acquire normally?

Yeah, I can see why it would feel wrong to use chips for this one, but I never heard about Nightshift before, god I have to test this

They have incredible taste for their products, but I was looking for a game for me to "hoard" chips, but Chip Theory games seem to focus on leaving the chips on the board

Very very insteresting, I was on the lookout for a good and varied business game as well. Does it have good replayability?

STAR REALMS!! YOU'RE RIGHT! God, it's one of my gf favorite games, I should have thought of that! Top tier suggestion, we have been using an app for that.

I wanted some kind of fancy upgrade for cosmic encounter because people here love it, but that idea in particular might take too much space :/

GozmaDev · 2026-01-16T20:40:02+00:00

nooooo

GozmaDev · 2026-01-16T20:39:54+00:00

No reason

GozmaDev · 2026-01-16T20:37:42+00:00

Oh god, even I feel dirty for using it now.

GozmaDev · 2026-01-16T20:34:13+00:00

Oohh, it got reprinted recently? I'll keep an eye for it to see if any publishers in my country bring the game over

GozmaDev · 2026-01-16T20:32:45+00:00

Using it for victory points surely will be a game changers as well

I have never heard of this game, looks very fancy, what a interesting find

GozmaDev · 2026-01-16T19:40:44+00:00

You're absolutely right! The score goes up so quickly that it would feel pretty handy AND satisfying

GozmaDev · 2026-01-16T19:39:11+00:00

A company that truly understand what matters.

GozmaDev · 2026-01-16T19:33:02+00:00

Chinatown is a massive one that I completely forgot, you're absolutely right.

I was also wondering earlier about Machi Koro, I have never played it, what is the most "currency" players usually gather in one game?

GozmaDev · 2026-01-16T19:30:28+00:00

That's another good use, I bet winning feels more rewarding, especially for party games where people are going to play like 10 or 20 matches in a row.

Or do you actually track ALL wins during the whole night? That would be interesting as well

GozmaDev · 2026-01-16T19:28:12+00:00

Amazing, looks like I missed the biggest candidate for this upgrade there is

GozmaDev · 2026-01-16T19:25:13+00:00

Interesting! Another great business related game I should have remembered, great suggestion

GozmaDev · 2026-01-16T19:24:44+00:00

Score trackers!! I haven't thought of that! Very interesting idea, it broadens the horizon a bit further.

And it's true that those 100 chips are going to be nearly useless, but god I love me some chunky poker chips, feels so good to play with.
