Carrie Page's Poker Game
In season three, part 18 (What Is Your Name?), we can see a table near Carrie Page's fireplace with two boxes on its lower shelf. One is a floral storage box, the other a game. Carrie appears to possess a Texas Hold 'Em Poker game set. This specific version of the game is published by Cardinal Industries. More on this company here.
The board game is available on eBay and Amazon.com, and other sites.

Laura Palmer has a connection to poker through her former place of employment, the casino/brothel, One-Eyed Jack's. Her autopsy revealed her stomach contents to include a fragment of a poker chip from the casino.
It seems odd that Carrie has an interest in poker when Cooper is also known to have a penchant for cards. In The Autobiography of F.B.I Special Agent Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes, Dale's Uncle Al taught him to count cards. The script for season one episode six (Realization Time, 1.006) states the following concerning Cooper's undercover role at One-Eyed Jack's, "He likes his work. He loves to play cards." This also brings to mind Dougie Jones' time in Las Vegas as "Mr. Jackpots."
Near the poker set, on the floor, Carrie has discarded scratch-off lottery cards. If only Carrie could have benefited from Dougie's intuition.
