Notes

Phase 10 uses 108 cards at roughly 59x91mm — Standard European size (Sleeve Kings SKS-8809, 59x92; Mayday/Arcane Tinmen Euro). A few retailer listings quote it as bridge size (57x89mm) instead, so if you already own Euro sleeves they’ll be a hair loose but still protect fine. As a long, hand-heavy rummy variant it shuffles a lot, and opaque-backed Euro sleeves stop opponents reading cards through thin stock.

The same sleeves fit these games

Sleeves come in packs of 100 and Phase 10 will not use a whole pack, so it is worth knowing what else the spares cover.

Not every game is standard: Codenames (45 × 68 mm) and Coup (65 × 100 mm) need their own size.
