Deck boxes come in many sizes and styles, but their primary purpose is holding cards. The products described use rigid plastic designed to withstand abuse. A stress test involved giving one box to an 8-year-old to hold Pokémon cards for weeks, and the box remained in good condition despite rough handling. The boxes are also designed for in-game use, not just storage. For games like Magic: The Gathering, Star Wars Unlimited, and other card games, the deck box holds the deck during play and provides a discard area. The lid folds down into an angled tray that supports drawing cards while playing and collecting discards.
"Deck boxes come in all kinds of sizes and flavors, but most focus on one thing: holding cards. Shocking right? But interesting enough, the deck boxes here aren't just focused on storage. Mind you, they are also good at that. They are made of a rigid plastic that should survive abuse pretty well. Actually, I tested one of the boxes by giving it to my 8-year-old son to hold his Pokémon cards for a few weeks."
"For those of you who don't have young boys at home, that's basically equivalent to giving the box to a honey badger or the Tasmanian devil from Looney Tunes. Kids are rough on things, and my boy seems to excel at taking things apart. His Fantasy Flight Games deck box (that I had floating around since the days when they actually made accessories) only lasted about a week before the lid was torn off. But this box survived its time with him no worse for wear. That was about the toughest stress test I could think of and it passed."
"The other interesting thing about these boxes is that they are actually useful during your games. If you are playing Magic: The Gathering, Star Wars Unlimited, or some other TCG/CCG/LCG, these have a handy feature of holding your deck during the game and providing a discard area as well. The lid folds down to create an angled tray that allows you to draw your cards from it as you play. Discards"
