I’m not overly organized as a rule, but I do have serious issues about how piles of card for board games get mixed up or messy over the course of the game. Drives me nuts! When playing games like Dominion and Catan, you are constantly reaching for cards, drawing cards, discarding cards… and before you know it, the cards are a disaster. A Board Game Card Holder can prevent that nightmare!
Keep your board game cards neat and organized.
Now all you have to worry about is Cheetos fingers!!
My favorite Board Game Card Holder
Stackable Dominion Sleeved Card Tray/Holder
We play a LOT of Dominion in our house… but it drives me crazy when the piles of cards go sliding around the table. I’m constantly straightening and fixing them.
These racks are PERFECT!
The first is actually a set of individual holders are stacked to keep the cards safe during storage. Each holder holds a different set of cards. No more using the slots that come with the Dominion Box… Then when you are ready to go, just lock the edges of the holders together in the configuration you want. You can even choose different colors to help keep things organized.
The card racks not only hold the games for play, added bonus! they are big enough for cards in sleeves! Perfect if you really like to care for your cards.
The Stackable Dominion Sleeved Card Tray/Holder is made to order by the guys at 3D Game Gear… and they are happy to customize your rack to your specifications.
Dominion Card Game Table Organiser and Storage

Deck Holders for Dominion Games
Settlers of Catan Card Rack
Playing Setters of Catan… or just CATAN… means constantly pulling cards, trading cards, turning in cards, buying cards, and generally messing up piles of cards. The Catan 12 slot rack keeps all of the cards neatly organized so there is no more scattering of card piles!
Can I tell you how excited this makes me?
Resource cards each stay in their appointed slot. (Let that sink in a minute….)
Development cards stay in their slot… bliss.
And when people put cards away… they go into the right place! Not just slopped and tossed onto the pile all willy nilly.
There are more than enough slots for card in this rack to include all sorts of expansions. AND the slot box fits neatly INSIDE a regular Catan box, so clean up and set up are a breeze.
This is a must for any Catan lover!

Machi Koro Card Organizer
How long do your Machi Koro Cards stay stacked and organized? Around here, we always seem to make a mess with them. The Machi Koro Card Organizer keeps those cards stacked in their piles! The 2 layer wooden board has 15 cut 1/8 inch deep cut outs for the cards in the base version of the game.

AboutGamer
Very clever idea! Wondering if they have stands for just regular card games?
Great resources! I never knew that these custom card holders existed – our family loves Catan and, yes, the cards take a beating. Checking these out now!
This is a great idea to keep game cards under control!
They do… about half way through the post you will see regular card stands
