Description
These are 3/4" tokens and a black drawstring bag to replace the deck of small "lot" or "building" cards provided with Chinatown:

The reason for this is, each turn players will draw some lots, keep 2-3, and then the rest get returned to the deck which must be shuffled again for the next turn. You do not keep them in hand; you immediately place them in front of you to claim spots on the board.
Making them tokens lets the game play much quicker, letting you spend more time in the "shouting at your friends" phase.
This has worked out really well with my group, so I figure why not put it up in case other people feel the same way about shuffling miniature decks as I do.

Priced Well
These are great, they really speed up gameplay! Eventually I did put the tokens in 20mm coin capsules to increase their size and improve their tactile experience a bit. No real complaints here, thank ...
