Here you’ll find an archive of my previous product, the Card Caddy. It’s no longer available for retail sale, but contact me if you are interested in licensing the product.

Have a quick sit down in the game room with Chris Nichols, inventor of the Card Caddy. Chris talks about what makes the Card Caddy unique and also the various advantages and setups for multiple games using the Card Caddy.

How We Got Started

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.
