Not exactly all you need,

This review is from: The Badass Girl's Poker Party: All You Need to Play Your Way with Book(s) and Cards and Other and Coasters and Glasses (Paperback)
As a book, this is a decent purchase (at least at the discounted price), but for those badass girls who've always wanted to learn to play poker but know little more than what we've seen in Westerns, gangster movies, and A Streetcar Named Desire," it might come as a teensy surprise that "all you need to play" does not include chips. Now that I know what a good poker chip is, I'd never buy a pack like this that included them anyway, and certainly wouldn't expect to get usable ones for this price, but for the woman who knows nothing about poker, it's a reasonable assumption to expect "all you need" to include them. I bought this kit having already been warned by another reviewer, so come poker party time, I was set with a really nice case of 300 clay chips that cost me $70; I wasn't surprised not to find chips in this kit and didn't really care. But as it turns out, "all you need to play your way...except chips" wouldn't really be accurate either, as the shot glasses (4) are an unpleasant plastic, and the cards are too cheap to use. (Though the "cheat sheet" coasters are great.) Basically, this is a cute little book in a big, pink box. (And strangely, a book half as long as the book of the same title sold separately for $9.95.) Clearly, Toby Leah Bochan's got bluffing down to a science.

I loved the book and all the items in the box were great- but no chips! It was nice to have 'cheat sheets', etc, but the book was a better value. Good graphics, too
