December 18, 2010: Small Games . . . Small Price

If your gift-giving budget calls for something in the $20 range -- say, for an office gift exchange -- I suggest the combination of Cthulhu Dice and Zombie Dice. Together, they cost just $18.12 -- even with tax, you'll spend less than one Andrew Jackson. As a bonus, Cthulhu Dice's die, rules, and Sanity tokens all fit nicely inside the Zombie Dice cup. If you've ever attempted to wrap a blister card, you'll know how useful that is.

(A dice cup also fits nicely in a traditional stocking, hung by the chimney with care.)

If you'd like to "super-size" the gift, you could always pour both games inside a Cthulhu Dice Bag. Or add a couple Cthulhu Pins to the wrapping (or the stocking).
