Using Chips w Board Games, Group, Party, Non gambling games? (1 Viewer)

[OneGearManySpeeds]

Ok this thread is way way way off topic of anyone interested in Poker, Casino Games, Betting, Gambling... u know... all the things you love.

You know what else you love? "Poker Chips"

Know what I hate? I have people in my life that aren't really into Texas Holdem but like other games like Exploding Kittens, Bohnanza, King of Tokyo, Catan etc. And any day the chips make it on the table is a good day in my book. Most games come with terrible plastic or paper junk for game pieces. I'm looking for games you can step up the experience and make it unique...

So... Are there any board gamers out there that love a good evening with friends and play games where you substitute or swap out game pieces with your poker chips? Even NCV value chips as game pieces or ways of counting either cash, points, resources, victory points, etc. Please post your favorite game where you've basically swapped out elements of the game with Poker chips. Photos encouraged. Don't say poker, No PLO, etc.

Examples I've thought of.
- Splendor (has plastic chips already) upgrade them with nice NCV
- Monopoly (paper cash for actual chips)
- Bohnanza
- Acquire
- Basically any other cash type game

I've searched the internet for for ideas and keep hitting @Hobbyphilic & @Chris Manzoni results (ps many thanks to the efforts of HobbyP and ChrisM, you've stepped up my chip game more than prolly anyone, pre PCF)

I’ll never play Monopoly with the included paper money again. So much better with chips (as long as you have a big enough cash set).

Would love to see live chip stack photos next time you play. My plan is to take the best ideas in this thread and test and take photos.

My friends and I started using my paulson home set for monopoly out the gate. I never bought 1s though, so we used paper ones. It was a bit tricky without 20s to start, but we made it work. Next time I play with my nieces it will be with chips and now I have 1s, HSI secs. I can't wait to show them. It's so easy to use chips over paper. I'm interested a set of monopoly chips though.

Pretty close to the distribution in the game instructions, substituting for the 10s and 20s. A rack with a barrel of each denom = the bank.

That’s such a gorgeous set. I’ve often wondered what base color those hundreds are. Do you happen to know? Love the HSI

Did you do a search? I'm pretty sure there is another thread where this was discussed. I remember it from a year or so ago.
