Notes
Faraway is a two-size game: the large 70x70mm square Region cards need Small Square sleeves, and the smaller 44x68mm Sanctuary cards take Mini European. Both sizes are stocked as a matched bundle by Ryker and Boardgame Protectors. It’s a light card-drafting game, so sleeving is about long-term wear rather than shuffling — but the square cards are the harder size to source, so buy the paired kit rather than hunting them separately.
