If you own a Steam Deck and love card games or board games, then you may want to check out this new bundle from Fanatical. It’s called the Card and Tabletop bundle, and thanks to it, you can add several Steam Deck-compatible games to your library for a bargain price.
All of the games in this bundle run on Valve’s popular gaming handheld device, most of them either ‘Verified’ or ‘Playable’ by going off the official verification. Not everyone has the time or space for actual tabletop gaming, so these digital versions offer the next best thing.
What does the new Card and Tabletop bundle offer?
The Card and Tabletop bundle offers 16 games compatible with the Steam Deck. There are two more titles, but we didn’t include them as their Steam Deck status is unknown.
The total price of the bundle will depend on how many games you select. If you select all 16, then you’ll have to pay $22.84. The original value of these games combined is more than $230, so you’re getting a massive 90% discount through Fanatical.
Here are all the games included in the bundle and their Steam Deck compatibility status. Keep in mind that a few games are low on stock, so make sure to hurry and grab them before they’re gone.

Are there any good games?
If you’re a big fan of the original The Game of Life board game, then you’ll definitely love the digital versions. The bundle features both The Game of Life and The Game of Life 2, and both provide an exciting experience. Compared to the original game, The Game of Life 2 offers more choices that affect your character’s path. You can pursue different careers, like becoming a video blogger or an engineer. Also, in the sequel, you have much more to focus on, such as happiness and knowledge, except for just wealth. You can also play the game with your friends and family either locally or online.
If you want something challenging, then we’d recommend trying Banners of Ruin. This is a turn-based deck-building game where you recruit a party of animal warriors, such as bears, wolves, and rabbits. These aren’t ordinary animals, as each one offers a different set of unique abilities. As you progress through the game, you unlock new cards for attacks, buffs, and special moves. As it’s a turn-based game, you will need to make every move count.
Fanatical has a few more bundles that you can check out. If you’ve been planning to try some games from Bethesda, then you may be interested in the Bethesda bundle that offers 16 Steam Deck games for only $48. There’s also a Handheld Heroes bundle that offers $300 worth of games at the same price.
