So hubby @Gear has been at this for a while now, and I finally got into the act.
I have been playing OFCP more and more at our league games, and just using the .25 chip as a point was too rich for my blood. Thus the idea for a dedicated OFCP chip that was point based. I figured this way, you can set point price at whatever level you are comfortable with. I'm good at .10 per point right now, but I did play my Mom for .01 a point.
I wanted the design to be simple with a Chinese theme. After some fun with google translate I came up with the common Chinese characters for "Piece of Mountain" as the background design. And who doesn't want a mountain of chips?
I chose some cheap Monte Cristo chips, because it didn't feel right dipping into Gear's inventory. I didn't want to have to worry if they got lost or stolen while traveling from game. Besides, that red chip has always looked good to me and it fit with the Chinese theme I was going for.
After some discussion with Gear, we decided on 100 x 10point chips and 300 x 1point chips. That gives us enough to have a couple of games going at once if needed.
Gear took my characters and gave me some design options, and all I had to do was choose a font and the colours!
I didn't let Gear do any of the label removal and application, partly because he was giving me the labels, and partly because I wanted this to feel like MY set of chips.
So enough yammering, here are the pics.
