I think I will name my next set....

Divorce

 

[BGinGA]

Great idea! Instead of redbirds and hundos, the set can consist of judges, prosecutors, barristers, clerks, reporters, bondsmen, and bailiffs.....

Matching board game available, too:

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/158172/divorce-court

This is a basic roll, move, draw cards game. As you go around the board you land on spaces related to court appearances and collect poker chips.

It took me an hour and a half just to get them all of and inventoried. Now I need someone smarter than me to figure out how to configure them.

All of these are different custom HP chips? You are crazy! In a good way of course

Is that a custom set or casino set? I have seen some pics, but not familiar with them. What makes them crazy?

It's a long read but see here.

Tldr version -

Not only did I have to use J5 for chip design but separately I had to find a vector graphics artist and commission him to render my father's racing car in multiple poses.

Wonder what the combined weight of those chips are?

 

[Mr Tree]

Wonder what the combined weight of those chips are?

After inventorying it is roughly 12,000 chips. At 7.5 grams per chip that comes to around 200 pounds.

SPLASH POT!!!!

 

[Mr Tree]

SPLASH POT!!!!

I thought about getting on the table and burying myself in them. The biggest problem is someone else would have to take the picture and I don't want my wife to know I am quite that crazy.

 

[inca911]

Dude, she already knows.

 

[Junior24xx]

Jesus Tits!!!!! I love this set

I'm such a minor league player

I love the look of this set! I was at Bevmo for Christmas and saw something saw something that reminded me of it too.

I've become very familiar with The Hitching Post Restaurant in the last few years. It was actually featured on the movie Sideways.

When I ordered my chairs I ordered them from a B2B site and told them I was a restaurant. When they asked the name I told them The Hitching Post and they responded, "Oh, I thought you were only in California!"

Love the new limit pyramid. (y) :thumbsup:

 

[Poker Zombie]

Discounting the epic number of chips here, I'm going to offer a hearty congrats to the set-up team.

Simply outstanding work!

*Slow clap*

I remember when this guy was just some n00b who was like "I want old-west-themed customs. Money is no object!" and I helped him design the original Hitching Post set. *tear*

No really, that happened.

Should put them all in a giant jar and do a "guess the number of chips" thing.

I was a clueless boy with a dream and a fund. This was my original mockup for the Hitching Post back on the ole Blue Wall.

So much earth tone! Thank God you guys set me straight.
