The Twelve Days of Christmas Games will highlight small games that easily fit into a stocking or make a great and inexpensive Holiday Gift!
For the Ninth Day of Christmas we got The Grizzled.
First off I love the art in The Grizzled. It really gives off that “old war-time” feel to it. Which is perfect because this is a cooperative game centered around surviving the trenches of the first world war. Although the theme might seem depressing for the holidays, this is certainly an amazing and strategic card game. One that will bring your family to the table and working together for only $19.00.

Cthulhu Realms has a lot of the same mechanics as Star Realms. So if you know how to play one, the other will be a breeze. Also you know that one friend who is into all things Cthulhu? This is going to be the game for them at a whopping $16.00. So convert today and you’ll be able to bring the all the insanity and fear of the Elder Gods to your holiday party.
Tiny Epic Galaxies is just … well it’s amazing. It’s a full and complex board game packed into a tiny pocket sized box. Also the people over at Gamelyn Games do an excellent job of making high quality products. So at a price of $25.00 this becomes my #1 game to pass out for holidays to my gaming friends.
Bang! The Dice Game is a small game with the same premise of it’s original “Bang! The Card game”. Although this time you’re rolling a set of dice instead of going through a deck of cards. Which gamers apparently love because this little beauty is ranked higher on Board Game Geek and receives a much better reception to newer players. So with a price of $18.00 it’s a must have bluffing game for your collection.
Sushi Go really breaks the mold by being ridiculously cute, super fun and insanely challenging. Not only that but this is a game you can teach your non-gamer or gamer friends and everyone at the table will love it! At a cost of $15.00 this makes an amazing gift for anyone .
Hive Pocket is just a miniaturized version of Regular Hive! Not only that but it includes the Mosquito and Ladybug Expansions. It’s a two player game that requires some serious skills as a Mensa Select game winner and if you like strategic games this is the one for you. Topping off at about $20.00 gem will entertain you long after the Holidays.
Three Cheers for Master is one of my favorite small box games. Not just because it has an awesome theme but because it requires some forward thinking. It can also be seeded with betrayal or as player friendly as you want. Making it a perfect game to play for the holidays and with a price at about $16.00 it can be fit into any stocking.
Loonacy is a picture matching game that anyone can play. It’s super fast because all players play at the same time and it works great in between games. However what you don’t realized is that you’ll be playing it for the rest of the night! It’s highly addictive and for a price just under $10 it’s a must have for the holidays!
