Chip Races

[varoadstter]

People complain at my game, too, but I do have the chip race. It takes less than 30 seconds to race the chips off so I think the arguments are just stupid. Rounding up would only save a few seconds. Is it that important?

Seriously, how much time does it take to have everyone put all their odd chips in front of them, deal them a card for each odd chip, stack the odd chips in the center, swap the odd chips for the next higher denomination, and examine the cards to see which player(s) get a chip? 30 seconds is probably a very conservative estimate.
