Dealer's choice/mixed game plaques? - Home Poker Games

Where/how do I get hold of them?

Here in the UK a lot of the DC games have a sort of keyring with the plaques on. Some games I've seen them use laminated card with the games written on, stuck onto a keyring.

The keyring then gets used as the button.

Over in the US it seems they have the plaques on top of each other, not joined by any keyring.

Anyway, how do i get my hands on these? I was thinking of making my own but would prefer to just buy them because it's easier.

Go to a trophy store. The plaques are essentially the customized plaques they glue onto trophies, so any of them should be able to make a custom set.

He just went to a nametag website and entered the game names. A week later, he had the plaques. Black tags with white lettering.

I made these for our 10 game mix tournament. They are top loading cases(3"x5") just used paper and index cards as a filler to prevent the papers from coming out. Ill be making some more as our home game will be transitioning to a full limit mix rotation with over 20 games

bowlman, those look great.

Another nice aspect of printed cards is that you can put the rules of the game on the back to help players learn and avoid misunderstandings.

I found a really cheap set designed for packing collectable cards.

These would be perfect.

these are more rigid and will hold up better.

A friend of mine has been bugging me to make him a set seen in the WSOP dealer's choice game. I've been meaning to get around to it but I'm just too busy. They look very cool though.

I'd buy 3x5 and just trim them a little.

Yeah looks like it. Thin hardwood with engravings for each game. These are nice and fancy, but index cards work just fine.

Inspired by Pfapfap's cards, I made my own set of laminated 3x5 cards for 90 different games. We've played all 90 at some point.
