Notes
Card size varies by printing/edition: many copies use 56x87 (Standard American), but some printings and per-game sleeve kits list 44x68 (Mini European) — measure your copy before buying. The 144 cards are roughly 110 train car cards plus ~34 destination tickets and bonus cards.
The same sleeves fit these games
Sleeves come in packs of 100 and Ticket to Ride will not use a whole pack, so it is worth knowing what else the spares cover.
Not every game is standard: 7 Wonders (65 × 100 mm) and 7 Wonders Duel (44 × 68 mm and 65 × 100 mm) need their own size.
