Working on some designs for custom poker chips to use in board games (looking at you, 1830 Railroads and Robber Barons).
Found a place that can print custom designs onto high-quality ceramic chips. Just toying around with design ideas at this point, but I definitely don't want any casino-like names and logos on them and I don't want dollar-signs.
What do you think?
Put some more work into my custom poker chip designs! They're easier to distinguish by color and look more uniform. Not sure about the black on the 20s and the 1 might be too different. Or maybe all the other ones are now too similar? What do you think?
Custom poker chip design progress:
The 1 is better, but too different.
5 is worse
500 is much better.
I think I need to unify further. Stay tuned...
Custom poker chip design journey continues: Went off on a tangent and made everything simpler and more uniform...
Added a bit of a swirly zebra-pattern to the colored ring. Gives it a bit of personality. ...in a Zebra-on-drugs kind of way? I don't know...
Custom Poker Chip design for coders. 8-bit range with a bit more of a SciFi feel and a splash of paint.
Denominations quadruple: 1, 4, 16, 64, 256.
What do you think?
@col000r the more I look at it the more it feels weird that it's only every other power of 2. maybe this set just wants a single chip type that has a 1 on the heads side and 0 on the tails side
@aeva otherwise it's too many different kinds to keep track of. I was reading an article about which denominations to use for 18XX games and the guy talked about having roughly x4, which totally didn't work out with base-10: 1, 5, 20/25, 100, 500. So I made one where it's actually x4.
Now we just have to adjust the rules of every boardgame ever...
@peterdrake @aeva That's really interesting. What was the context? Amounts you use the most in everyday life? Because ternary isn't too far off from binary and you would you get pretty long numbers quickly: 64 would already be 2101, decimal 2000 would be 2202002.
