That whole game had excellent visual design. The locations looked like coasters. The player screens looked like big leather wallets, the kind that you attach to your belt with a small chain. The duffle bags of drugs are cool, but not quite as cool as the gun tokens and the stacks of cash tokens.

For money in games, I bought a set of mini poker chips for one game -- Crisis -- because it used a money track that was just tedious and annoying. The chips are nice. But doing like some folks do and using them as money in EVERY game? Boo to that.

Real poker chips have a very satisfying heft to them, but I would never use them in a game that comes with paper money, like Monopoly or Acquire.

When we do Journey to the North Pole around the holidays, I swap out the Gift tokens players collect with red and green M&M's.

I rated Dreidel a 10 on BGG because you get candy. Do you get candy in Puerto Rico? No you don't. Not a 10.
