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?

@col000r wow, I really like the render, looks super professional. Regarding the chips themselves, even though I appreciate the aesthetics, I came to value poppy colors for ease of differentiation. I also second big readable numbers. IMHO "the bank" are great 18xx chips and feel compared to Iron clays even better. If only there were 20s instead of 25s.

@frankie_flowers hay, thanks a lot! Yeah, working on putting more focus on the colors!
I've looked at the Apache Bank ones, but shipping to NZ would just about double the price...

@col000r yeah, that's a bummer. Luckily there's an importer in Austria, so I could get them with reasonable shipping in Germany, but the price itself for something I rarely get to use live is just too high for me, especially since I got a 300 set for like 10€ on eBay. I like your dedication! 😁

@frankie_flowers yeah, it looks like this can be an expensive rabbit hole to fall into... Unfortunately our local ebay-alternative doesn't come up with much at the moment. But will keep my eyes open 👀
