MSK plaques (2 Viewers)

I am currently designing a Zombie plaque/jeton set, probably a month or 2 out. I will be happy to make samples available when that happens, for those who can wait that long.

@Phantom

Did MSK also provide any sort of storage options?

Hi PZ, I never thought to ask sorry. I was going to build a new box to keep them in. I can see thay have chip trays and bird cages, so they may have something, or be willing to make something.

Can't wait to see your plaques :-).

Definitely going to order one of these!
 
What are people's thoughts about using clay chips, jetons and plaques in the same set. Obviously @Phantom did it brilliantly in the Blades set, but is it generally advisable: (1) to mix clay and plastic; and (2) to use chips, jetons and plaques together?
 
How do the jetons feel? I'm considering doing the mix of all three. I was just a little worried that the jetons might be too slick. I think they have a cool look plus they are oversized compared toe the 39mm chips. The structure I would be using them the if there were ever more than three plaques in use I'd be shocked. I think people would just be buying them to have it there for show.

All that said I think it can work but I've yet to do it so not sure how well it will be received by my players or how I'll actually feel when I have them all in play. You should have a better idea as you have the sample.

The jetons are the same material as the plaques so far as I can tell. Obviously the greater surface area on the plaques make them more stable when stacked, but the jetons aren't necessarily toppling over. I had 8 stacked on my dresser all weekend and my cat was up there messing with stuff (as he normally does) and they're still stacked just like the clay chips next to them. They're slicker than you might want, but they're not close to clay or even ceramic. I would absolutely recommend getting samples before making a substantial order.

I had originally fantasized about a set of just jetons, but seeing them in person that might not be possible. The sides of the jetons that is printable by color (similar to the sides of the plaques) is just too small. The white borders around the color take up more area than the color, I believe. I think they just wouldn't be easily distinguishable in stacks. I'll post pictures of the sides when I can (will be at a function for work until late tonight, so will have to wait).

My thought was to make a set where the T25s and T100s are clay, the T500s are jetons, and the T1000s and T5000s are (different sized) plaques. I like a lot of T1000s, though, so that will be pricey...
 
I think that plaques and clay work great together, I love it in a tourney set.
For cash I prefer cash bundles to go with clay.

I'm going to use the jetons for seating / bounty / invitations / redeem buy in / ....

Yes I was thinking of adding the Majestic stuff Apache has coming. Good point about the sides. Might not work for a tournament but I think in my scenario with the jetons being $20 (and oversized) and the plaques being $100 it would probably work just fine. I'm certainly going to order the plaques but just not sure if it's worth it for the jetons as I already have yellow's that will be labeled as $20's.

This was @courage's suggestion as well. Bounties are a solid option, but I don't really use other types of chips (rebuy/buy-in/invitation/show 'em/etc). And the jetons just look so cool that I'd want to have them in play more.

If Abbiati ever opens a US shop and makes custom chips available, I know I'll only be doing $1s and $5s. I'll get jetons for the $25s and plaques for the hundos.
 
Im still trying to decide what way I want to go as well.
I have lots of $20s and $100s in my Deja set and would be a shame to not use them but use plaques instead for 20s and 100s. Unless I can go back and forth using the chips one game and the next using the plaques? Until I start hearing feedback from guests one way or another (love the plaques and only want to use them or hate them and only want chips for the higher denoms).

I was also thinking I could add them into my GCR set in place of the T5000 chips (I have 60 of them) or add a 25K plaque to the set??!
 
I'm going to replace (or use them for secondaries ;) ) my PCA plaques.
20 - 25 $2000 plaques should do the trick (and have plenty in play, together with hundo's & $500 chips

For the TKGB tourney set, I need 15 $5000 plaques

For the Midnight Jazz Club set i'm gonna go crazy with jetons :)

Agreed that the Blades set is phenomenal, but I don't generally like mixing jetons/plaques even with plastic chips. To me it feels like ceramic plaques with clays, just a little off (no offense to anyone's set, just how I feel).

For your set I'd do $1 jetons, a sh*tload of small $5 plaques, medium $25 plaques and larger $100 plaques. A possible problem with this is that the MSK plaques' raised area seems to always be the same width, which means it gets more substantial on smaller plaques... And for easy handling you really want the plaques to be quite small.

2:22 mark.. I get the impression they will sound much like these? a nice clack sound...

They sure do ;)

No offence taken @mipevi :-)

Thanks @jbutler . I like the concept of clay chips and ceramic plaques, but clearly :-), I prefer the look and sound of the acrylic plaques. I love the feel and sound of the clays, and the sound of the 'clack' from the plaques. The 500 plaque will act as a secondary for the clay set on rotation with the CPC 500 (I love them both). A ceramic may have served this purpose equally as well due to the small numbers involved in poker, but I also intend to have Chemin-de-fer as well. (lah-dee-bloody-dah). The plaques are a must for this.

I think it would depend on your theme as to whether you introduce jetons to the line-up as well. If you did, I agree with you, and others, in that you would only have one denomination in jeton, and then plaques after that. That would eliminate the issue of being unable to distinguish in stacks. You could make the T1000 the jeton, thereby reducing overall cost and still being able to have heaps. :-)

I think jetons would suit an 'all-plastic', baller 'Monte Carlo' set as alluded to by @mipevi :-), or be used as suggested above - promotional, seating, bounty, etc...

Eui is sending me some to look at, so I will be better informed in due course :-).

Looking forward to some more pics when you can :-).
 
Btw if you look at the jeton stacks from my home game pic, you can clearly see what color jetons are in them. As long as you don't use similar base colors, I don't think dirty stacks would be an issue. Unless the sides of MSK jetons are different of course.
 
I think clay and plaques would be great together. However clay and Jetons may be odd. Jetons are totally different, they are great looking but are very light and don't handle anything at all like traditional chips.

My samples have been ordered. I am expecting to add some 5000 unit plaques to my Aquasino set, and maybe a stack of $100's to one of my cash sets. Trying to come up with other uses. These seem like a great value especially when compared to Matsui. I understand the difference but I don't anticipate a huge difference.

^^ This. I'm using jetons as denominated bounty chips for a matched casino ceramic set. I just don't see how mixing clay chips and jetons in play works very well.
 
Haha, just tried to do it and the camera sucks and the sound sucks. Trust me, they sound good :-). Will try again later when I have more time.
 
I'm new to this. Are the MSK considered plaques or jetons?

Looking to get some 25k, 50k, 100K and 250k made to match up my Milano collection.

Think I might add my company logo also.
