About this game

Bag of Chips is a lean push-your-luck duel dressed up as an abstract wagering game: every round you commit chips as bids, hoping to read the table better than everyone else, then the pot resets and the guessing starts fresh. There is no board sprawl or rulebook homework here, just tight simultaneous decisions where holding back too long costs you and overcommitting costs you more. Rounds fly by in a few minutes each, so a bad read is never a long-term problem, only a reason to try a bolder bid next time. A pocket-sized brain-teaser for people who like their strategy stripped to the bone.
