Notes
Despite the small hand of cards, Coup uses large 65x100mm cards — the same Magnum size as 7 Wonders, NOT the square or poker size people assume. The base game is just 15 character cards (three each of Duke, Assassin, Captain, Ambassador, Contessa) plus 6 summary cards, so a single ~25-count Magnum pack sleeves the whole game. Because only a few cards are dealt each round and everyone touches them, opaque backs matter for hidden influence.
The same sleeves fit these games
Sleeves come in packs of 100 and Coup will not use a whole pack, so it is worth knowing what else the spares cover.
- 7 Wonders — 65 × 100 mm
Not every game is standard: Faraway (70 × 70 mm and 44 × 68 mm) and Harmonies (70 × 120 mm) need their own size.
