Notes
Single card size, standard 63.5x88mm. The 128 total breaks down (per Wikipedia) as an 80-card trade deck, two 10-card starting decks, 10 explorers, and 18 double-sided authority cards. Authority score cards are double-sided so many players leave those unsleeved.


The same sleeves fit these games
Sleeves come in packs of 100 and Star Realms will not use a whole pack, so it is worth knowing what else the spares cover.

- Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza — 63 × 88 mm
- Terraforming Mars — 63.5 × 88 mm
