RENTON, Wash., Dec. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Even if your halls are decked for
the holidays and you've rushed home with your packages, you may still be
looking for a "few small things" to place in those carefully hung stockings.
This year, put a little something different in those stockings: a trading card
game.
If your child is already a fan of a trading card game, give booster packs
for their favorite game. A gift of a booster pack adds an extra element of
discovery after the gift is unwrapped as they find out which rare or super
rare cards they may have received.
If you're not sure which game your child might be interested in playing,
Wizards of the Coast, a worldwide leader in the trading card game and tabletop
roleplaying game categories, recommends the following games as stocking
stuffers this holiday season.
-- For the youngest member of the family, Wizards has introduced an
entry-level trading card game based on the top-rated
CODENAME: KIDS NEXT DOOR(TM) animated series on Cartoon Network --
the story of five extraordinary 10-year-olds who form a covert team
called the "Kids Next Door." The game features "stick-ahs" that kids
can use to create customized cards! The starter set, which includes
cards, a playmat and a panic button, has a suggested retail price of
$8.99. Booster packs, which expand the game play, have a suggested
retail price of $2.99.
-- Fans of Warner Bros. Animation's popular cartoon series can protect
ancient mystic relics, known as Shen Gong Wu, from villains with the
new Xiaolin Showdown(TM) Trading Card Game. Players engage in a
battle between noble warriors as part of a mystical journey around
the world to defend and acquire Shen Gong Wu to become the ultimate
Xiaolin master. The starter set, which includes two 41-card decks,
rules, playmat and slide counters, has a suggested retail price of
$9.99 and can be supplemented with booster packs, which have a
suggested retail price of $3.69.
-- If you know anyone who spends hours at neopets.com taking care of a
virtual pet, they will likely enjoy the Neopets(R) Trading Card Game.
The newest expansion set, The Darkest Faerie, includes
limited-edition sketch cards with one-of-a-kind hand-drawn artwork by
Neopets.com artists. No two cards are alike, making them the ultimate
find for every Neopets collector lucky enough to obtain one. The

Trading Card Game starter set is $9.99.
