From my parents' time, I guess, because when I was a child, every house we went to had one of these, including our own. The set would spin around on a bearing.
It's like a poker game could break out AT ANY SECOND, 24/7, so there had better be poker chips and 2 decks of cards always at the ready. Often those games really did break out.
Normally nearby, a fondue set, a smelly cheese ball and crackers, and a pack of Marlboro.
New Design - Two of Snails
I wanted to play with the new PVC perforated paper by Wichelt and made a two-sided playing card! One side has celestial snails and the backside is a mushroom. Find this design on my patreon at Tier 3, which comes with a bunch of other cool, human-made cross stitch patterns and the best stitching Discord!
