Adkison Releasing Collectible Poker Chip Game

Klytus writes "Peter Adkison, former CEO of Wizards of the Coast, Inc., and current president of Gen Con, LLC, recently announced the pending release of a new collectible poker chip game." From the article: "Each chip has 0 to 6 clout points. Players have to make a stack 15 chips while not spending more than a set amount of Clout on the stack. Players take turns throwing the chips into the play area and depending on how they hit the table the individual effects of each chip occur. Chips have stats, abilities and powers that affect game play."

this is news?

So what is this, some new-fangled version of tiddly-winks?

I'll keep using poker chips to play poker.

It's motherfucking POGS up in this shit, with poker tossed in. Hello 1993 and 8th grade all over again.

it sounds like pogs...

[saurik (37804)]

it sounds like pogs... but I guess collectible poker chips sounded better than collectible milk tops

Re:it sounds like pogs...

[Inda (580031)]

Yeah, pogs.

I'm betting the top chip is worth $500 and has a picture of Steve Allen on it.

I cast my 6 on your 4.... ha! The ultra-rare Royal Flush tramples! You can't block! ...
What? I'm 30, and *still* playing CCG's? Eeew...

CCGs: where even if you win, you lose.

You're 30 and still having fun?

Shame on you!

Give me Diceland anyday

[rjforster (2130)]

Diceland [diceland.com] by Cheapass. This deserves to be on the recent board games thread as well.
Throwing non-collectible paper d8s has never been such fun. The game is great, the website doesn't really do it justice.

Re:Give me Diceland anyday

[tolendante (865207)]

I immediately thought Diceland also, though Diceland is not collectable. All the sets can be bought for less than $50.00 total and it is a blast. I wrote a review of it when it first came out. Check it out here. http://www.armchairempire.com/Miscellaneous/dicela nd.htm [armchairempire.com]

It's Poker-mon!!

I won't get addicted to this one.

[yotto (590067)]

No, I won't. I won't spend thousands of dollars collecting these poker chips, sorting them into boxes and cataloging them in my computer.

Never again.

How Many More?!?

[Walker_Boh_Druid (864617)]

How many more collectable rip off's can people come up with? Honestly, why would anyone buy POKER chips, to throw onto a table pointlessly? Poker chips are for playing, funnily enough, poker. Leave the collectable's to kids.

Poker? I don't even know her!

[newrisejohn (517586)]

Throw in a twenty-sided die and you've completely ruined poker for me.

Following the tradition...

[ElectricInkPen (798717)]

Following the tradition of countless "collectible games," you can bet that certain chips will end up selling for ridiculously high prices. It brings a painful new meaning to "blue chip."

I'll Wait

[dasheiff (261577)]

I'll wait till no one buys them and stores are trying to unload them and then I will buy like 100 for $1 and use them as normal poker chips.
