My husband and I used to play Magic quite often with a group of friends. Life got in the way, but I decided recently to dig the card back out and start building a deck again. I have thousands of cards, and keeping decks separate and organized can be difficult. Card Caddy makes it easy to keep your cards and dice together.
About Card Caddy
“My name is Chris Nichols the inventor of the Card Caddy. When my step-son was around 5 years old, he was obsessed with Uno. I grew up playing card games of all sorts with my grandmother and wanted to foster that same love of cards with him. We carried around a couple of decks of cards, bound with rubber bands, stuffed back into the box, or just scattered in the bottom of a my wife’s purse. When it came time to play – often somewhere without a level, solid surface for the draw and discard piles – the stacks of cards fell over, blew away or slid down into the crevice of the car seat.For Christmas that year, I made the original version of the Card Caddy in my workshop out of scrap wood. It was bulky and clunky, but it was a big hit and solved my frustrations. After a couple of iterations, I’ve put together an improved version and would like to the share the idea with card lovers everywhere.
Whether you’re a harried parent who wants a mobile entertainment option other than “a device”, a hardcore Trading Card Gamer who has a lot invested in your deck, or just someone who likes to have a deck of cards handy for a game-on-the-go, the Card Caddy is for you.”
Card Caddy comes in many sizes, and with several add-ons, you can connect to your caddy to make it your very own.
There are a plethora of ways you can use your Card Caddy. The first thing that came to mind with me was obviously my Magic decks. While digging around in the game closet I also came upon a deck of Phase 10 that was all rubber banded together. The cards were getting bent, and I realized that that was a brilliant use for the Card Caddy!
How I Use my Card Caddy
I am not a fan of card sleeves. Honestly. I hate them. I don’t exactly know why, but I always try to stick them on my Magic Cards and then end up ripping them all off the same day. I kept my main Magic deck in a plastic deck box, in the game closet, but it didn’t seal very well. I ended up using the Double Decker Card Caddy for my deck, as the single deck didn’t quite fit it because it’s a larger deck that is over 60 cards.
One of the greatest things about Card Caddy is the Add-Ons- the Card Caddy Cache and the Score Keeper. I personally don’t have much of a use for the scorekeeper addon, but it’s a great feature. The Cache, however, is brilliant! It can keep all you special dice and pieces with the cards. I always had a lucky life die that I used playing magic, so it makes me happy I can keep my die with my favorite deck.
I also like that you can use the caddy as a discard pile. It keeps the cards from sliding all over and getting bumped and mixed up.
My Thoughts
I really enjoyed Card Caddy. I think its a really innovative product. I feel like this is a product that can continue to evolve. If you would like to find out more about Card Caddy from Narrows Hill Games, you can visit their website, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!
