I have a set of tiles, along with Musante’s book, that I don’t need. I learned to play about 10 years ago, but even in the best of times we only went to the casino a couple times a month, and that isn’t enough time to keep sharp on the game, and interested in it; and now we only go to casinos a couple times a year. I don’t want to give them to Goodwill etc where it will just get wasted (or worse, discarded as tools of the devil); I’d rather see them go to someone who will put them to good use, and have some fun with them. If you have never played tiles, they are really fascinating, in that they allow you to take general principles of PG Poker and translate them to a different system. You get a glimpse into an overarching reality.

Anyhow, just cover my cost of shipping. Or, alternately, we will be in Vegas in early June, and we can meet at The Bellagio and I’ll hand them over in person.

First one to drop me a PM.

A very generous offer, but not for me.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

Got one. Why not give it as a prize in next years NFL picks game? Like for best bet bet record? (I suggested something that clearly eliminates me…). I have one already, given as a gift from a Rio pit boss.

That’s a good idea, but I don’t hang here often these days. Although we still enjoy casino gambling, we don’t play as often as we used to.

If no one is interested, I’ll just hang on to it. Who knows, maybe I’ll practice for a couple weeks and try to bankrupt Bellagio with my acumen! (For anyone who has practiced the game on line, there is no substitute for actually handling the tiles. It is an intensely tactile experience.)

I had a bad set that I used for practice, But this is lovely with the case. I might actually take you up on this and cover shipping.
