Yes, it's another shirt featuring a character from “Andor.” My husband was so psyched for him to make his debut in the series, and he loved every scene this hilarious but bad@ss droid was in! Hope he doesn't see this list . . . because this one may b...

The Gamer Dad
Dads who are video gamers are a diverse bunch, but I've tried to hit a few of the biggest (and some of my household's favorite titles) with this small collection to get you thinking.
The second season of the new Fallout show will be out in December, but Dad doesn't need to wait until then to “set the world on fire.”

If he's a gamer from “back in the day,” your Nintendo fan may especially enjoy these retro “cartridge” coasters.
I purchased a set of these for my husband a couple of years ago for Christmas, and they definitely won't win any awards for longevity if you use them heavily, especially with iced drinks (due to the condensation). However, he was amused with the nove...

The DnD Dad
EDIT: Preparing this section has been way too much fun. Look for an ENTIRE DnD list coming soon! (Otherwise this could easily have taken over my list. lol)
We are a Dungeons and Dragons household, and it was WAY too fun digging for some hidden gems for the DnD enthusiast to get your brain rolling. Hope you roll a Nat 20!
I'm going to be honest: I kind of want this portable DnD storage box myself! :D
This organizer is great for storing his primary dice, a character mini, a few condition markers, and more. It includes a small dice tower as well, and he can easily roll into the top, which serves as a dice tray, or the large compartment where the sm...

I can tell from the title alone that the “Scroll of Rolling” certainly was made by a DnD enthusiast.
And what a fun find! Collapsible dice trays that lay flat are great, but the cool details of this roll-up version is styling and practical.
Choose from a variety of colors and options, then add his name for an extra personal touch.

A coaster to keep his drink off the game table and a dice tray to keep him organized is a great combo. The dice look a little snug, but once I saw you could customize the coaster to his character's class, I was “sold.”

Does anyone NEED something this elaborate? Definitely not. But for the DnD guy who has “everything,” I think this is definitely a rarity he may not yet have added to his collection!

Board Game Drink Coasters Set - Customizable - Any game
A card tray may not be exciting to you, but to people who play games that *frequently* include a draw and discard pile, especially huge stacks of cards, this simple solution will absolutely be appreciated!
You can select from a variety of colors, and I suggest ordering at least two, which will cover a large range of games (though some, admittedly, use even more!)
And because it's me, I have to mention that these trays are made from recycled plastic! :)

These wooden bowls are a beautiful way to keep all those crazy components a little more tidy on game night. You can select the wood type, and the set of four bowls come with two large and two small bowls.
I'll be honest: I am VERY influenced by a game's theming, and I like these bowls because they are beautiful but also because they are neutral and would fit a lot of the games on our shelves. Additionally, they are stainfree and made in Ohio, my home ...

Anime has been growing in popularity in the United States for some time now. If the father in your life is among the many fans the genre has today, I hope this small list will give you a few ideas for off the beaten path suggestions he may enjoy.
Attack on Titan was the series that hooked our home on anime, so when we saw this board game at a gaming convention last year, we picked it up without any research or knowledge of the gameplay (a rarity for us… we definitely enjoy researching and ens...
Fortunately, this co-op game proved to be a lot of fun! We have played it through several times at 3 players and found it fun to play both as a member of the survey core or as the titan! (One player controls the enemy each game.)
He won't expect this one, and if you don't end up enjoying the gameplay, the titan and castle make for cool decor on the top of your gaming bookcase (which is where ours lives when we aren't playing!)

Be sure to read the compatibility notes for controllers. It seems it may fit Playstation 5, 4, and 3 controllers best, but in the reviews, you may find more information for your family's favorite console.
