Notes
One size throughout: 56x87mm poker-ish cards that take Standard American sleeves (Sleeve Kings SKS-8807, Mayday Standard American). Because Skyjo is a fast, shuffle-heavy family game that gets handled by kids at the table, sleeving is mostly about wear and spill protection — look for a matte/opaque back so the number can’t be read through the card. Skyjo Action swaps in action cards but keeps the exact same size, so the same sleeve fits.
The same sleeves fit these games
Sleeves come in packs of 100 and Skyjo will not use a whole pack, so it is worth knowing what else the spares cover.
- The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine — 56 × 87 mm and 44 × 68 mm
- The Quacks of Quedlinburg — 56 × 87 mm
- Ticket to Ride — 56 × 87 mm
- UNO — 56 × 87 mm
Not every game is standard: Harmonies (70 × 120 mm) and Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game (59 × 86 mm) need their own size.
