Gifting Tip: This Guide is Filled with Card Games That Can Be Wrapped or Stuffed in Stockings

Many years, we try to put together a list of card games as gift suggestions. Aside from being compact and great for travel, they’re usually more approachable by people who are used to games that utilize a standard playing card deck. As a bonus, they’re affordable compared to many other games due to the less expensive components. Of all the times we’ve featured card games, I don’t think I’ve highlighted the fact that they make great stocking stuffers! So if you’re looking for something compact, affordable or approachable to gift this holiday season, then this gift guide is a great starting place!
