Includes a bonus optional expansion deck for young players or those less familiar with the holiday, which integrates seamlessly into the main game, ensuring everyone has a wonderful time!

Stickers and Cards


As part of designing the game, we of course needed to include art. But when searching for licensable art assets for the game, we kept hitting a road block—a lack of cute vector art that's themed for Hanukkah. So we made our own!

And this little lion is just so cute, we want to share these designs beyond the splash of fun they add to the game. This inspired us to create Hanukkah cards and stickers!

We're also including the stylized menorah created for the box art.



Each card comes with a matching interior design with plenty of room to add your personal message! 





  • Cards measure 4.25in x 5.5in, and each comes with a white envelope.


Stickers are available in your choice of all 3 designs:

  • All stickers are durable, weatherproof vinyl and suitable for indoor or outdoor use!
  • Plus stickers are printed by a company that uses eco-friendly inks and runs off 100% carbon free and more than 78% renewable energy!
  • Each sticker measures ~3.5" in its largest dimension.
    • The menorah sticker measures 3.5" wide by 2.5" high. The lions are approximately 3.5" tall.

We've joined forces with Whimsical Whiskers for a special treat!

Anyone who supports both our project (here) and their project (linked above) will receive a bonus sticker from each campaign! (Yes, that means 2 bonus stickers total!)

Because Whimsical Whiskers offers dragon plushies, we created a bonus Hanukkah dragon to match! Check it out:

And how fun is it that they did too:

Shipping


Shipping costs will depend on the total products ordered (e.g.: it costs less to ship 1 card than 12) and will be charged following the Holiday Market.

We'd love to fulfill all rewards before Hanukkah 2025, but that's a very fast turnaround, so shipping will happen on a rolling basis. In other words, the sooner you complete the pledge manager following the campaign, the sooner your items will ship! 

Please note: shipping for the Gelt Galore board game (in a pledge tier or as an add-on) is only available to the United States.
