Poker in a box - at a truckstop
Not sure if someone has posted about this because I've been traveling.
Thought it was kind of interesting and another indication of poker's popularity (and the continuation thereof).
Driving down from Memphis to New Orleans we stopped at a truck-stop somewhere in Middle-of-nowhere, Mississippi on I-55.
Prominently on display near the cash-register at the front (near the bee's honey pills that are supposed to give you energy) was a Poker-Homegame type thing that was packaged like a regular type board-game.
For $21 you get a little poker-table cover (fake felt or something maybe) as well as instructions on how to play "Real Las Vegas Style Poker" (or something like that) "INCLUDING TEXAS HOLD-EM"
Looked like it also included cards and chips as one would assume.
I couldn't help but laugh....it looked so cheesy. "Just Like Las Vegas!!"
I asked the cashier about it and she said they had just got them within the past couple days and she had already sold a couple of them.
Poker-in-a-box at your local truck-stop.
The big "fad" continues.
