Compare the Standard and Mini Stacking Tabletop Card Holders from The Broken Token. Learn which size fits your game cards best and how they simplify tabletop play.
Quick answer
Choose the Standard size for most board game cards (poker-sized) and the Mini size for smaller cards like those in Tanto Cuore or The Game. Both stack vertically, snap together without glue, and keep your hand visible to everyone.
Why card size matters
Board game cards come in two common sizes: standard poker-sized (63.5 x 88.9 mm) and mini (41 x 63 mm). Using the wrong holder makes cards hard to read or prone to slipping. The Stacking Tabletop Card Holders are designed specifically for each size, so matching the holder to your game is the first step.
Stacking and table space
Both holders stack vertically with others of the same size, letting you build a card tower or keep multiple hands organized. The Standard holder is taller and wider, so it takes up more table footprint. The Mini holder is compact and works well for games with many players where space is tight.
Decision rules for choosing your holder
- Check your card size: Measure a card from your game. If it's roughly 63 x 88 mm, get the Standard holder. If it's roughly 41 x 63 mm, get the Mini holder.
- Consider stacking needs: Both holders stack vertically with identical models. If you plan to display multiple hands or a large card tableau, buy multiple holders of the same size. Mixing Standard and Mini holders will not stack together.
- Evaluate table space: The Standard holder has a larger footprint. If your table is crowded or you play with many players, the Mini holder saves space while still keeping cards visible.
