Model Description

This is a dual playing card holder with storage lid, designed to hold two full decks of standard playing cards. The holder features two separate card wells, making it ideal for games that use draw and discard piles, or games that require multiple draw stacks.

The open tray design keeps cards upright, easy to see, and easy to draw from during gameplay. Rounded cutouts and finger access points make grabbing cards smooth and frustration-free. The included lid allows the holder to double as a storage box, keeping decks together and protected when not in use.

This model is well suited for both dual-deck games such as Canasta, Hand and Foot, Samba, and many rummy variants, as well as single-deck games like Crazy Eights, Garbage, and other casual card games. Whether used at the table during play or as a compact storage solution, this holder helps keep games organized and flowing smoothly.

Designed in Fusion 360 and optimized for straightforward 3D printing.

Design Concept

Card games are meant to be social and relaxed, but loose piles of cards can quickly become messy, especially in games that rely on multiple decks or frequent discards. This design was created to solve that problem with a simple, durable, and versatile card holder that works across a wide range of games.

The concept focuses on:

-Flexibility – usable as draw/discard piles or dual draw stacks

-Accessibility – easy card removal with finger reliefs and open tops

-Organization – keeps decks aligned and prevents sliding or collapsing piles

-Multi-use functionality – doubles as a storage box with the included lid

Rather than being tied to a single game, this holder is meant to be a general tabletop accessory that fits naturally into many card game setups.

Attribution

There are many existing variations of playing card holders like this design, and it is unclear who the original designer was. This model was independently modeled from scratch based on common and widely used concepts.
