And it seems like it will always kill someone with all that burn. Just can’t get to round 3 without someone already on critical. What are we missing?

Thread: Ruben's Mini-Chips:: General:: Chip Count Recommendations (i.e. How Many Should I Get?)

21 January 2026 @ 7:01 am

by Shadowatcher So, I'm deciding to (probably) finally splurge and get some poker chips, but now we run into the question: I need to figure out how many to get. I have read https://boardgamegeek.com/profile/clearclaw, which I have seen people send to for advice, and it seems good for a baseline, but I'd love to hear other opinions. Frankly, I want to draw on other people's experiences as well to determine what chips I would want. For context, I am not an 18XX gamer, though am looking to play some of those eventually, so would want to be prepared; I am much more focused on more general gaming. I'll admit I probably don't need poker chips for what I play, but also I admit I really like collecting what I call "Gaming Accessories", so Metal Coins, Cards, and yes, I'd like some poker chips for that.

Spotify is in the news today and not because of yet another price hike, believe it or not. Instead, a new report has uncovered a feature that's coming soon to Spotify's audiobooks.

This lets you easily jump from the audio version to a physical text, if you're so inclined. What's more, it's bidirectional - so it also lets you know what page in the physical book the place you're at in the audiobook...
