Honestly 2 of these per person and 5 for the turn,flop,river - and we have a texas holdem game without cards and shuffling - just chips...

so a 6 person game, 12 of these + 5 ~ 17 of these ~ $450 ~ about the cost of real nice chips and cards...

Well, you could also 'just' put an iPad in the middle of the table for public game state (like turn, flop river in Poker), and everyone has their smartphone for private game state (like your hand in Poker) and you can play most boardgames quite nicely.

Instead of the iPad in the middle you could use a TV screen, too, but then you can't directly interact with that via touch screen.

hey, yeah! The commenter about the iPad is also right, but, there's something satisfying about the physicality.

That said, you can play poker with a deck of cards and a pile of beans.

But yeah, I'm looking for something somewhere between Poker and an iPad.

See my other comment, a lot of interesting mechanics are available.

I'd sell you a poker set if you want to impress your friends :D Email me: [e-mail]

One card pp might be adequate for the hold cards. It's easy enough to represent two cards on one little screen. Feels tidier to me.

For holdem, you ideally need a plinth that can "deal" cards upside down. Maybe it's more general to have a plinth that can update cards in either orientation.

Congrants jonahss on your art. Thanks for sharing.
