Save Time and Money with Gaming Collections
Sherlock Holmes has nothing on the modern boardgaming shopping experience. Finding an interesting game is easy, with more published these days than ever before, but trying to figure out if what you’re getting is everything, or all you want, is hard. Save yourself the time lost sleuthing through old crowdfunding campaigns or game forums with Noble Knight’s bundled collections, which gather up the expansions and accessories with your favorite games and offer them at significant savings.
If you want a complete game, an easy way to dive into a new miniatures wargame, or a simple, cost-effective way to build a collectible card game collection, hang up your detective’s hat and read on, because we have the solution.
Card Collecting Made Easy
So you’ve heard about this Magic thing, or maybe your kiddo’s venturing into Pokemon (a CCG that is definitely not just for kids – there be depths to these critters) and you’re wondering how you can jump start a collection without buying tons of booster packs. Enter the card game bundles, where you can go from zero to deck-crafting expert in a single shot.
Take this 1000 card collection from mixed Magic sets. At $25, you get a wild variety along with a storage box, ready to drop on a table and play with your friends. Using the Battle Box format, where everyone plays off one combined deck and graveyard, a one-shot box like this can give you and three or four friends a lot of game.
Or boost your Pokédex with sets of 25 rares for a whopping $6. Perfect for drafts, cubes, or adding some neat cards to your collection.
These bundles are for more than big current CCGs though. If you’ve long harbored a love for a card game but never had the chance to dive in, collections like Doomtown and the World of Warcraft TCG give you an easy way to explore games with your partner and friends that are otherwise hard to find.
As someone who grew up with several brothers, a few cards and a compelling CCG meant night after night bashing custom decks against one another, a feat made easy with bundles like these. Tournaments, special formats, and rekindling fond memories are easy with these sorts of collections, so if you’ve ever wanted to take a trip into one of these worlds, these are the best ways to go.

Your Complete Board Game Collection In One
If it’s easy to imagine stuffing a bunch of cards into a box, it’s perhaps a bit harder to picture, well, a bunch of boxes gathered together. Yet, that’s what board game crowdfunding has been doing for more than a decade, now, and it’s what Noble Knight offers too: a chance to get everything, including accessories and promos, for a game in a single bundle for less than you’ll find it anywhere else.
Take this Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords complete collection: you’re getting the entire game in one shot, all packed together, for half the price you’d get buying it piece by piece. For big story games like this one, giving it a run through with all the goodies is a great way to get the full experience, and then you
can either give it to a friend, sell it on, or use it for the base of your new board gaming YouTube channel, because why not?
Lighter games work well when bundled too, like Castle Panic, where you can grab all the expansions to grow the game along with you, adding in extra modules as you want rather than having to seek them out (or realize they exist) later. Remember the general rule that expanding a game you love is easier than learning something totally new.
Where these collections really shine, though, is with crowdfunded titles that might never see another print run. Maybe you’ve just heard about this game that checks all your boxes, but the Kickstarter campaigns are over, like with Marvel United, where new sets are coming but older ones are rarely reprinted. You can grab that perfect title and everything included, without worrying about missed deadlines or spiked prices.

For wargamers, collections offer a great way to get into a system without finding every title piecemeal. Advanced Squad Leader has approximately one billion modules, but you can save yourself the time to find them all by checking out a bundle that hits the theaters you’re looking for. If you’re a fan of wargaming magazines, too, you can grab a box of strategy and tactics goodness at a value price.

Bundle Your Friends into A New Miniatures Wargame
Miniature wargaming can be overwhelming at first glance. Warhammer, Shatterpoint, X-Wing, and others might promise endless entertainment and tactical gameplay, but how do you approach the wide swath of options? Most have a solid starter set, but beyond that, so many choices make it hard to approach. Collections solve that problem, and give you a great way to get into a game with your group: split the cost, grab a bundle, and then mix-and-match amongst each other. You’ll save money and get a great gaming experience.
Take this X-Wing collection. For this tense two player game, there’s enough here for dozens of different squads depending on your pilots, equipment, and so on. Splitting the cost between a few friends (or siblings) and you’ll have countless days dedicated to blasting each other while John Williams’ score plays in the background.
Or if you’ve been watching House of the Dragon and and want to write The Winds of Winter on a tactical battlefield, jumping into A Song of Ice and Fire’s tactical wargame is easy with a collection like this one.
A couple things to note, though, with miniature collections: first, make sure you read the description to understand what you’re getting. Many of these are used and re-organized, which means extra boxes are long gone. This saves you space, but don’t be surprised if individual figures aren’t packed in cardboard. You’ll also see whether figures come painted or assembled, either of which might be a big plus (saves you time!), but it’s worth knowing before you click that buy button.
Overall, the hardest part of enjoying a miniature wargame is finding a community to play with. Bundling these collections with a group of friends solves both problems, giving you one of tabletop gaming’s best experiences in a single package.

Tell the Whole Story With Tabletop RPG Collections
Bundles come in more than just cardboard, too. Tabletop RPG collections are a perfect way to dive into a universe without needing to hunt down every sourcebook or adventure module. It’s also the best chance to get limited releases, like this Carbon Grey collection, with all the crowdfunding goodies. A dieselpunk mix of tech and magic around World War One? Yes please.
You’ll also save time and money onboarding into the classics, too, with options like this D&D Starter Collection, which comes with monsters aplenty to
duel and destroy.
My preferred way, when I’m looking for a new RPG to dig into, is to just click through the collections as a whole, keeping an eye out for anything interesting. Maybe it’ll be Spelljammers, or I’ll finally give FateForge a real look.
If you’re hunting for your next world to play in, make sure to give this section a look. You’ll always find something fun at a friendly price.
Gaming’s Garnish, Grouped Together
After all the sections above, let’s conclude with the glue that holds our gaming experiences together. These bits and bobs elevate game night from Monopoly sadness to amazing memories by sanding down rough edges, increasing immersion, and protecting what you love.
Take the dungeon tiles and figures collections, which can be used across RPG settings to bring your sessions to new life, particularly if you prefer more tactical combat. These are also great options for solo narrative titles like Rangers of the Shadowdeep and Frostgrave, so you can retire those children’s toys and action figures for more immersive pieces.
Similarly, if you’re kicking off an RPG group, a simple dice collection makes sure every player has what they need to adventure at a low cost. No more scrambling around for that one D20 or trying to remember rolls while using the same die across multiple characters.
Card sleeve bundles, like this one for Wingspan, give you a one-item option to protect your games too, so you don’t have to count up cards and guess at the sleeve sizes you need. Save time, save cash, keep your cards protected from nefarious beer and pretzels.
You can find dice and other accessory bundles here.
Board Game Bundles are a Buyer’s Friend
Collections help you save money and time, ensuring you get everything you’re looking for to play the games and RPGs you love. When you find a title you’re interested in, always dig around to see if there’s a collection available. You’ll be glad you did.
