Print Our Games at DriveThruCards

DriveThruCards is our trusted resource for print-on-demand cards, game boards, and more. They print our games one at a time, in the USA, on casino quality playing card stock. Printing and delivery can take a few weeks, but despite the wait, this is our best way to make games available for direct sale.

When you order cards from DriveThru, most of the purchase price goes directly to the manufacturing cost. Crab Fragment adds a small markup, and DriveThru earns a percentage of that. Buying our products at DriveThru is one of the better ways to support Crab Fragment Labs, and the finished products are excellent.

This page has a list of all our DriveThru products, for your convenience. Each entry has a link to the game page, for more information about each, as well as direct links to the offerings at DriveThru. If there’s another game that you’d like to see on this list, please let us know!

Bitin’ Off Hedz: DriveThruCards makes posters too! The boards for our new edition of Bitin’ Off Hedz are available in regular 12” x 18” and dino-huge 24” x 36”. Bitin’ Off Hedz is a rollicking race across Skull Island, where dinosaurs compete to hurl themselves into the volcano at the center, and bite off some hedz along the way.

BRAWL: A lightning-fast card game that’s over in 60 seconds, with gorgeous art by Ryan Kinnaird. Each box contains two complete character decks, enough to get started. But you’ll want to collect them all!

Bread Basket: A cute little sandwich-making game, new in 2023. We’re still tinkering with the rules (and adding more variations) but the deck is ready!

Fairmarket: A unique three-suited deck that deck plays the title game Fairmarket, an unusual market-themed gambling game, as well as a trick-taker Tresotti and another gambling game Scurro.

FALLING: James Ernest’s original real-time card game. Everyone is falling, and the object is to hit the ground last. This deck features the art and cards from the 1999 edition, illustrated by Brian Snoddy.

The Harvest: This is a quirky and compact strategy card game, just 36 unique cards jam-packed with interesting decisions. Our DriveThru deck also includes 18 money cards for keeping score, making this a nicely self-contained package.

The Island Deck: A six-suited deck with several original games including Showboat, Powderkeg, and Down the Well, with more games coming soon.

Letter Boxing: A sophisticated word game with elements of bluffing and deduction. Brilliant colors and expert design make this game truly “The Heavyweight Champion of the Word.”

Pairs: James Ernest’s “New Classic Pub Game” turns ten years old in 2024, and there are more than 50 games you can play with the Pairs deck. You can still buy several versions of Pairs from our partners at Greater Than Games, and we also have some of the older decks right here:

  • The Book of Ugly Things: Nasty creatures from the nightmares of the computer

  • Deadfall: Fantasy creatures drawn by Bill McGuire

  • Deluxe Fruit Deck: A retro-styled fruit deck illustrated by Andrew Kolb

  • Goddesses of Cuisine: Ten sultry food queens illustrated by Echo Chernik

  • Las Vegas: Another retro deck by Andrew Kolb, this one set in Sin City

  • Leaf Deck: A minimalist deck of leaves and trees by Phil Foglio

  • Lord of the Fries: Fast food zombies from that other game, by Brian Snoddy

  • Lucky Mansion: A Photo Deck of the Old Consulate Inn, by James Ernest

  • Original Fruit Deck: The very first Pairs deck, made with family-friendly clip art.

  • Pirates: Scalawags, cutthroats, and scoundrels, illustrated by Brett Bean

  • Shallow Ones: Adorable baby Cthulhu monsters, drawn by John Kovalic

  • Trolls: Sassy internet monsters from the deepest wells of online clip art

Pirate’s Bluff: A bluffing game similar to Liar’s Dice, but with cards, Pirate’s Bluff is lightning-fast because players don’t take turns. Shout out whatever you want, anytime you want, like a rowdy band of pirates. This deck comes in two colors because it’s better to shuffle one deck while you deal the other one. Illustrated by Nate Taylor with characters from the Dew Point universe.

Poker Decks: What’s the one deck that’s even more versatile than Pairs? That’s right, the gold ol’ Poker Deck. We have created a number of original games that you can play with a poker deck, and we think there just might be a few more out there too.

Rochi: A gambling game played with a Tarot-style deck, designed by James Ernest and Sonia Lyris for her book series The Stranger. This version is actually the beta of a game that has been “coming soon” from another publisher for more than six years. Crab Fragment hasn’t even existed for that long!

Shipwrights of Marino: A clever resource-management game about airship building in the Dew Point universe, Shipwrights of Marino requires a 54-card deck, a one-page board, and several basic components like dice, pawns, and tokens.

Sophisticuffs: A party game icebreaker called “a battle of two seconds.” Players compare two cards, and the winner keeps the loser’s card, just as simple as that.

Tablero di Berona: A simple board game on an even simpler board, Tablero di Berona requires just a checkers set, two dice, and this 6 x 3 board.

Vines: A suite of more than 20 original trick-taking games played with a unique five-suited deck. Also includes Postas, a closely related five-suited deck with its own suite of games.

Whispers: A press-your-luck gambling game with an eight-suited deck. Like Pairs, the goal in Whispers is to avoid getting a pair. But the penalties (and the Whispers) make this game special.

Witch Trial: You and your colleagues are trial lawyers, preying on the weakness of the early American judicial system. Prosecute and defend suspected witches, miscreants, and vegetarians in this updated Cheapass classic. We didn’t change much about this old devil, except adding some color.

Young Jacob Marley: You are a lowly clerk in the service of the up-and-coming financier Jacob Marley, and your greatest wish is to become a respectable man of business, and Marley’s best friend for life. Lend Jacob Marley’s stacks of money to the unreliable citizens of London, and try to earn the most interest in return. It’s genuinely the best banking game you will ever play.

Believe it or not, this is but a small sample of the games available from Crab Fragment Labs. Take a look around and see what else we’re working on, and thanks for supporing us through your purchases at DriveThruCards.
