If you have been following along, then you know that past week as been pretty awesome. Not only did we provide gift guides filled with games for the family, toys and games for younger kids and must-have party games, but we also launched a Hues and Cues giveaway followed by as assortment of 19 others! If you think we’re stopping there, then you don’t know us as well as we thought! This gift guide starts the next layer of our proverbial onion as we bring to you an extensive list of card and dice games published this year that we think will make excellent holiday gifts.

This list includes an assortment of different styles of games for a variety of age ranges. Sure, they all include either dice or cards, but they aren’t all like each other. As an example, sometimes you’re rolling dice in hopes of certain results and other times you’re part of a dexterity game where you’re flicking them. Each listing gives details on the game, publisher and where to purchase it. When you see our logo behind the brand, it means we’ve featured the game in more detail at a prior time. Click there to read our overview and see personalize images. We hope you’re able to find some ideas for recipients on your shopping list!
