I used to play with Iron Clays but last year I found a copy of Hold'em-opoly which includes a nice set of mini poker chips with printed denominations. I've since sold my Iron Clays since these mini chips are so portable.

I have to agree. I have stopped using my iron clays and now either use my apaches gaming chips at home or I have a set of mini chips for traveling.

is there any update to your poker chip preferences as of 2024? Are you close to southeast TN?

Even a couple years later, I still use the Apache Gaming Chips. I have experienced a variety of other chips, but the Apache are holding up well. I am sure that there are better chips out there, but for the price the Apache meet all my requirements. The only thing I dislike is the color of the $50 chip, so I just do not use them. I also prefer fewer denominations. $1, $5, $20, $100 and a few higher denomination chips for the end of the game. Thank you for watching.

I went with Iron Clays a few years ago simply because I had backed the massive Roxley Brass kickstarter a while back and already had a good amount of the necessary set. I did have to spend about an hour one day lightly sanding both sides of all the chips to counteract the slipperiness. I'm glad to have the set. They are my 18xx group's favorite to play with because they have 20s and feel weighty and substantial.

Thank you for watching and taking time to comment. I like my iron clays, but I found the apache gaming set were just a better chip. The Apache Gaming chips also have 20s. As I stated in the video, I love the look of the BGG chips, but they are extremely slippery. The Iron Clays are a decent chip, but over priced. Enjoy your train games!

Hey I was wondering if you could answer me why you would rather use 20’s than 25’s. Everybody talks about it but i havent found an explanation!

@@Bornatorborba I like to use a very small chip set normally I use only $1, $5, $20, $100, and $500s. the reason for 20s instead of 25s is due to most of costs are easier to parse with $20s without making change each time. For example 1846 is one of my most played game, each turn a player may build two tracks at a cost of $20 per track. this minimizes the banking transactions, which in turn decreases the playtime of the game. It is really just a personal preference. More important is keeping the colors consistent with your group. Most of the players I play with accept Whites as ones, reds are five, Blue is for 10s when used, gray for 20s, green for 25s, and Blacks for $100s.

I find having a small amount of intermediate denominations quite helpful. Something like 2-3 chips per player of 10's and 50's feels about right, as long as your players are chipping up each round.

I started with the Apache Bank chips after quite a bit of personal research. I like your suggestion though that if you need chips before the research to use the dice chips. I've played poker with those babies before and they're a good cheap place to start!

Not an 18XXer but want a set for economic Euros. I was waiting on the Roxley Iron Clay restock but noticed that the Apache Banks are being restocked next week and I have my order in. It’s a tight window but I’m hoping to get them in time before we leave for WBC on the 20th!

Good video! I personally have a set of Montecarlo chips, but unlike the ones in the video, they are clay. They are not slippery and weight 13-14g per chip. Some people prefer 10g chips, but since I never travel with them, I prefer how the heavier ones feel. I think that Iron Clays are one of the worst options, too overprice for their quality, and people just get them because of popularity and aesthetic reasons.
@18xxtraining625
@18xxtraining625 2 жыл бұрын
I think they are popular because they were 1) on kickstarter, and 2) makes 20s available. At least that is why I gave them a try first. They are decent, but at the price point there are better options.

Apache Bank Chips set of 300. Have to be ordered in packs of 25 so: 50- 1's, 25 Train chips for odd denominations(2's in 1862 and 200's in 1835 for example), 25- 5's, 50- 10's, 50- 20's, 25- 50's, 50- 100's, 25- 500's. Later added 25- 1000's for overflow in the last OR's when the bank runs out. I won't need another set, that's 20,425 ...not including the Train chips. The extra 25k in 1000's was overkill actually, hindsight shortcut being 25- 10's maybe with 25- 1000's rounding out the 300(45,175+25 Train Chips).

I just have a set that my mother got as a free gift from one of her casino trips after Colorado legalized gambling. Of course, I don't play 18xx games with them. Not sure I'd be able to field a full bank's worth.

Great video as usual. I went with Iron Clays because I bought them with the 2 Brass games, but I have been tempted to buy another set of Apaches. Does anyone play with the smaller chips?

Thank you for taking the time to watch the video. If by smaller you mean the mini poker chips, similar to those that came in Age of Steam Deluxe, I can say that I haven't seen them used. I thought about using them, however I like my one's white and my twenties gray and the ones I found online do not give me the colors I want. I hope that answered your question.
