Mollaspace Black Deck of Cards
How much more black could playing cards be? None more black in this case, since the slightly satin icons just barely pop off the matte background. Yet designer Goody Grams managed to up the noir factor of the deck even further with original images for the royal cards: a hog-riding outlaw is the jack, a tiara-wearing pinup is the queen, and a cigar-chomping kingpin tops them all.

Billet Bones Tournament Dominoes
It’s okay to slam down your final domino but not for it to break as a result. Carved from T6061 aircraft-quality aluminum, Billet Bones stay strong and look slick, the gleam of raw metal dots shining through an anodized finish in your choice of colors. They’re now also available in tournament size (1.125 by 2.25 inches) for serious players. [$369; billetbones.com]
Zino Platinum Cavern Humidor
After taking delivery of Cohibas smuggled in by a “business associate,” house them in the equally peerless Cavern humidor. Its okoume wood–lined interior will keep up to 60 cigars at the perfect humidity (between 70 and 72 percent). One consideration: The Cavern’s palladium-plated brass fittings and 15 layers of hand-polished lacquer may draw unwanted attention to your stash. [$3,720; zinoplatinum.com]
Aramith Fusion Pool Table
If you can’t install a trapdoor that leads to a hidden game room, the Fusion is the next best thing. Slide off the dining table top to reveal a regulation-size 7.5-foot-long pool table. High-end felt covers 3/4-inch-thick slate, and an optional spring system raises the table from 30 to 33 inches tall to put it at regulation height. [$6,000; fusiontables.com]
Blomus Rido Bottle Opener
We know you’re loath to give up that rusty bottle opener you’ve held onto since freshman year of college, but it’s time to upgrade to something less tetanus-laden. Even without the nostalgia, the stainless steel Rido is a worthy replacement. Its arched back and Bauhaus-esque right angles make it elegant enough to blend in at a dinner party but not too fancy to crack open a cold Miller High Life. [$14; blomus.com]
