Notes
One card size throughout (57x87mm) = 222 base cards. Retailers sell these as Standard American (~57x89 outer); Chimera (57.5x88) is an equally snug community pick. Sleeve Kings' Wingspan bundle uses SKS-8808 (57.5x89). Sleeved cards still fit the box tray but it gets tight when adding expansions.
The same sleeves fit these games
Sleeves come in packs of 100 and Wingspan will not use a whole pack, so it is worth knowing what else the spares cover.
- Wyrmspan — 57 × 87 mm and 57 × 57 mm
- Five Crowns — 57 × 89 mm
- Scythe — 57 × 87 mm and 44 × 67 mm and 70 × 110 mm
- Sushi Go! — 57 × 88 mm
Not every game is standard: Coup (65 × 100 mm) and Dixit (79 × 120 mm) need their own size.
