Heavier chips change how a game feels. At 13.5 grams each they settle into a neat stack instead of skating across the table, and a raise lands with a little more ceremony. Five colors of striped chips keep the betting easy to read from any seat, even once the pot spreads out in the middle. At the end of the night everything drops back into the aluminum case, so the whole game travels to a friend's place in one hand. Set up on a kitchen table, a bar counter or a basement felt.
