Those are really cool looking towers.

Don't apologize for TOO MANY (?) pictures!

I think a tower is in order, starting today. I've never really had a stable enough table (poor white trash has paulson chips but shaky tables?) but my new house has a fireplace with a granite hearth. I hope it's level.

I'm amazed you have 150 of those plaques. Do you play with them? If so that must be FUN!

Awesome job!!! Awesome chips too !!

Does this mean the "Pharaohs Village" is now dismantled, or are these just some extra chips and plaques that were laying around?

Pharaohs Village was cool too!

I'm the type that buys chips/plaques to play with, not collect so YEAH and it is great fun. When I first brought them out there was certainly a wow factor since nobody in my home game had used plaques before. I did have to comment to one player that kept slamming them down as he bet -- I've never had one break, but you never know.

Thanks cowboys -- yeah, it had to come down & I don't think I'll ever top that one. One of those things that just happened spontaneously and turned out kinda cool.

BTW, after I got the second tower built and stood back and noticed it sorta resembled a model of DNA -- then I thought, shoot, I should have placed a plaque every ten rows of chips between each stack -- so it would look like rungs of a ladder. That's for next time. Thanks for all the nice comments everyone.

Awesome!! but sadly for my wallet, pics like theese make me buy more chips...

Is there a thread on how to make these?

OK, the big Paulson tower is done...thought just for fun:

If you can guess the total number of chips in the Pharaoh Tower ONLY, or come "closest to" I thought I'd donate IN YOUR NAME to JM's cause (see this THREAD)

A couple rules:

1) If you guess closest (or exactly), I'll donate $25 directly to the donation website.
2) YOU MUST GUESS at least 5 chips different from anyone else who has guessed. So if person "A" guess 256, you have to guess at least 5 higher or lower than that.

New Pics of completed Pharaoh Tower -- use these, not the pics in the OP.



I'll take guess for just a few days :
...so far
