Notes
Two card sizes: the deck you play from is Standard American (56x87mm) and the smaller task cards are Mini European (44x68mm), so you need two different sleeve packs. The playing cards are shuffled and dealt every round and are the ones most worth protecting. Note the cards run 87mm tall, so avoid 89mm+ 'Chimera' sleeves that leave a floppy overhang and make dealing awkward. The trick-taking deck is small enough that one 50-pack of each size is plenty.
The same sleeves fit these games
Sleeves come in packs of 100 and The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine will not use a whole pack, so it is worth knowing what else the spares cover.
- The Quacks of Quedlinburg — 56 × 87 mm
- Ticket to Ride — 56 × 87 mm
- UNO — 56 × 87 mm
- Bohnanza — 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.
