Poll for Windy Crest $2 chip (1 Viewer)

[CraigT78]

What's the buy in? Expected players per table?

It's either $2/$4 or $4/$8 - I expect 8 players max. I suspect average buy-in would be $100-$300

I'd buy in for 500 for funsies

Same. Shit. I need more chips. 1,000 might not be enough.

Do you mind if I ask what the cost is after the discount?

 

[CraigT78]

I guess how many chips would cross into the 'overkill' territory? 2 racks per player, then sub with $20's (or $100's)

I'm not 100% sure yet - I'm probably going with the ABC chipco blank, which has an up-charge. I haven't asked for a quote yet. I ordered 2 barrels of samples of my $1 chip to compare, as my original blank was from GOCC which seems to have closed.

I personally think it should be two racks per player. But that's just my thought

Yeah - 1600 chips isn't all that much more, so I might as well.

Us chip addicts are easy to coerce lol

I should have to boxes of chips arriving today. Hopefully anyways. I'm not confident in usps. One of the boxes has been floating around the area for a few extra days

Here are a few options! I really like bottom row - #2 and Row 3 - #3

I think any chip in row three,, with Sea Green/Ever Green being my favorite.

If you have any color-blind and or color-challenged people playing in your games, it might be worthwhile checking the above photo at https://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simulator/. I suspect lime green and mint green could be very close to the yellow in some cases.

I'm going to order 1,000 I think for the price discount.

Edit: I figure 8 players max for mixed circus, so a $2k bank plus my $20s should be sufficient.

1,100 chips will build a very nice semetrical pyramid. These things matter.

I love the colors BTW.

I've landed on 1,600 chips, enough for 2 racks/player at an 8 player game.

Can this be accomplished with 1600?

The next level (6), if you want to do square pyramid with stacks of 20, requires 1820. You could shave off 120 by not making it solid (won’t be able to tell visually), and the other 100 use value chips for top two levels.

If you instead do a triangle base pyramid, 7 levels is 1680...1600 for bottom 5 levels and 80 for your value chips.

Thanks! Now what color should I get? I'll bring the samples on Saturday.

Same, but IMHO any of the ones with the evergreen text & line work look awesome. 5>3>1

So you like the evergreen line colors better than the contrasting chocolate? I'm torn with this decision.

Yes sir I do, I much prefer the greater contrast that the darker green color provides, I find them much easier to read. I think it's more consistent with the yellow chip (and the rest of the chips in the set). Compared to the bold purple on the yellow, the brown as printed looks a hair faded to me . If the chocolate was dark chocolate, that may work better It may just be the computer screen, I liked the chocolate color more in the mock up, but in comparing the mock up to the actual chip scan, the brown looks a good deal lighter:

Evergreen FTW, no contest.

 

[CraigT78]

Looks like Mint/Evergreen has a slight lead over Lime/Evergreen. I do think these work the best - decisions, decisions.

It did print lighter than it displayed, which is why we all get samples, right??

 

[markleteenie]

Top 2 - #3 and #5, with #3 slightly winning (how I voted). Awesome to see the variations all in person!! Great looking chip!!

 

[CraigT78]

Bump for the poll! Hope to order as early as tomorrow.

 

[CraigT78]

I have decided on Mint Green/Evergreen. Thank you all who contributed!

 

[CraigT78]

And the set is officially on order!! 1620 chips ordered via @ABC Gifts and Awards on the Chipco blank. Let the waiting begin!
