Cardmarket is happy to have found a great partner in Gatherers' Tavern. It's time we look back on our shared story so far and share some highlights! Most recently, but neither our least nor last endeavor, we shared a booth at Gamescom back in August …

Gatherers' Tavern has quickly become a favorite in the world of TCG accessories, providing official merchandise for some of the biggest names in games. Especially the high-end Arty and Domaru deck boxes have found fans all around the world and on Cardmarket in particular. Gatherers' Tavern has also found a friend in Cardmarket itself. And as friends do, we've been happy to engage in some shared activities and to share the love of trading card gaming with as many people as possible.

Gatherers' Tavern and Cardmarket shared a booth at the famous Gamescom in Cologne on the weekend of August 20–24, 2025. We provided space for people to play trading card games, invited renowned creators Speci (Lorcana), Lampi (Yu-Gi-Oh!), and Zero (Pokémon), and also brought along Carl, Thoralf, and Jamin (from our own Magic channel).

People who visited our booth could get either of these or some Cardmarket credit for free by taking a spin on our wheel of fortune. This activity proved quite popular too, of course, and made for more than a few happy faces.

Naturally, Gatherers' Tavern also had some new products to show off. For example, if you're a Yu-Gi-Oh! player, maybe you want to pack your cards into a real, fluffy ////?

Meanwhile, if you're a Magic fan, maybe you want to display some of the game's most beautifully designed cards as a decorative slab in your home? Or do you want to have your commander tower tall over the battlefield at the next game?
