Notes

Current retail edition uses standard poker cards (63.5x88), 76 cards per Ryker's kit; confirmed by sleeveyourgames, Sleeve Kings (SKS-8810), and a Reddit owner measuring 63.5x88. An old BGG geeklist lists Brass at 56x87mm/110 cards, but that entry predates/mismatches the Roxley Birmingham edition (likely the original 2007 Brass: Lancashire) — do not use it for Birmingham.

The same sleeves fit these games

Sleeves come in packs of 100 and Brass: Birmingham will not use a whole pack, so it is worth knowing what else the spares cover.

Not every game is standard: Harmonies (70 × 120 mm) and Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game (59 × 86 mm) need their own size.
