Cards
A reusable deck option for hosts who expect to run more than one game and want a dedicated set of cards.
These are alternatives, from adapting a table you own to choosing dedicated furniture.
Table
Adapts furniture already in the room when you want a defined playing surface without committing to a dedicated table.
Table
A straightforward dedicated-table option when you are ready to move beyond a tablecloth setup.

A premium dedicated-table alternative for hosts building a more permanent poker-night setup.

Dealing accessories
Keeps the dealer position visible so rotation and action are easier for the table to follow.
Dealing accessories
Covers the bottom card while dealing and gives the host a simple aid for protecting the deck.
Printed denominations are especially useful for keeping the bank clear. For cash games, a consistent 100-to-1 relabeling works well: $25 can represent $0.25, $100 can represent $1, and so on.
Chips
High-quality 14-gram clay-composite chips with printed denominations. The mix includes more $1 chips than many games need. In our experience, the included metal case eventually begins separating at the seams, so the acrylic carrier below is our preferred storage upgrade.
Chips
A smaller set of the same high-quality, clearly denominated 14-gram clay-composite chips when 1,000 chips would be more than your game needs.
Chips
Add only the denominations your bank needs. For a cash game, you can consistently treat $25 chips as $0.25, $100 chips as $1, and higher printed values at the same 100-to-1 scale.
Use the calculator above to estimate quantities. We recommend the acrylic carrier as a durable replacement for metal cases that can begin separating at their seams.
Chip accessories
Keeps a chip set together when moving it between storage and the table.
Chip accessories
Makes chip counting, staging, and movement easier before and after the game.
