Notes
The core deck - 40 Artifacts, 10 Mages and 10 Monuments - is standard TCG/poker size (63.5x88mm), so any Standard Card Game sleeve works; retailer kits ship ~64 to cover spares. Only the artifact deck is actually drafted and shuffled, so many players sleeve just those and leave mages/monuments bare. The 5 Places of Power are oversized reference cards that stay on the table and are usually left unsleeved (dedicated oversized sleeves are hard to source and unnecessary).
The same sleeves fit these games
Sleeves come in packs of 100 and Res Arcana will not use a whole pack, so it is worth knowing what else the spares cover.
- Root — 63.5 × 88 mm
- Sea Salt & Paper — 63 × 88 mm
- Secret Hitler — 63.5 × 88 mm and 45 × 68 mm
- Skull King — 63.5 × 88 mm
Not every game is standard: Harmonies (70 × 120 mm) and Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game (59 × 86 mm) need their own size.
