Table Rules

What to know before you take a seat at Paperbark House.

Before you sit down

How a Table Works

The house dealer manages each table and will find you a seat where there’s room; most tables are happy to take one more player if space allows.

Chips are handed out at the door and belong to the table you’re sitting at; they can’t be carried between tables or exchanged for cash at any point.

Ask the house dealer, most tables have room

Handed out at the door, points only

On the floor

You must be eighteen or over to sit at any table; ID is checked whenever there’s any doubt at the door.
Every hand at Paperbark House is dealt in person on the workshop floor; nothing here is played online, and that isn’t going to change.
Chips mark points only — there is no wagering and no cash prize at any table, ever.
Phones stay off the felt while a hand is in play; photos are welcome in the dining room and near the old tool cabinet instead.
Last hands are called around midnight most nights, a little later on Fridays and Saturdays.
