My husband and I solved a problem that has been plaguing Jews for hundreds of years: the boring, yet ubiquitous Hanukkah dreidel game. We crossed dreidel with Texas Hold'em poker to create No Limit Texas Dreidel.
The game is sold in stores nationwide this holiday season including Bloomingdale's and online stores such as PopJudaica.
No Limit Texas Dreidel is Entering the Mainstream
In the fresh context of No Limit Texas Dreidel, our Jewish spinning top is capturing non-Jews' attention. The game
was included in Newsweek's gift guide in November, this weekend on NPR's Only A Game Holiday Gift Guide and internet mega-sites Fark.com and BoingBoing.net. Listen to me predict that dreidels could be the next playing cards: "They are like dice but spinning... how fun is that?"
Can We Reach The Tipping Point?
Through our retail website, ModernTribe.com, we speak to and email dozens of customers every day who are ordering No Limit Texas Dreidel. Our
customers range from Orthodox to secular Jews, to every shade of Jew in
between; to non-Jews buying for their Jewish friends. This weekend we had an Episcopalian buy a set to play at his "mixed event." Could goys soon be playing with Jewish toys?
