Gamegenic Matte Sleeves: Standard American

My favorite sleeves for board games, shuffle well and last long.

After weighing most, if not all, of the options for board game sleeves for this size, these are by far the best when it comes to quality for the price

These Gamegenic sleeves are perfect for protecting game cards. I prefer the matte sleeves. They're easy to slip over cards, and have a good feel when shuffling. It's pretty much a no-brainer if you want to preserve your deck. I highly recommend them.

Hands-down, greatest value and amazing quality

Purchased these to sleeve my copy of Heat on a recommendation from BGG. Very nice quality sleeves for the price point. There's no front sticker to indicate which way the sleeve should face, but it doesn't seem to matter as the clarity of the plastic is the same transparency level on both sides. There is a little wiggle room for the cards, but it's not an issue that affects the usability. Had one sleeve out of 330 split early on, but I had a quick replacement for it on hand. Overall would recommend these as good sleeves for casual gamers to prevent general wear and tear to cards.

Works well for Kingdom Death: Monster monster AI cards.

I love gamegenic sleeves, they are pretty thick and the matte finish reduces glare. They also still shuffle really well, I highly recommend them!

All sleeves are well made with no defects. Matte finish makes for easy riffle shuffling. I ordered these for Dice Throne and Dice Throne Adventures which fit perfectly in this size of sleeve.

I used these to sleeve the large cards in Star Wars: Rebellion and its expansion, Rise of the Empire. They fit great, and the quality is high (as always for Gamegenic). I am happy with my purchase!

I have only ever used FFG sleeves, so these are my first packs of Gamegenic sleeves since they became the replacement, as well as my first experience with matte sleeves. These sleeves are as high quality as the FFG sleeves that I was used to, with consistent sizing between packs, solid seams, and the same satisfying, medium-heavy weight. I found the sleeves to be a little too tight at the seams for the Ethnos cards I was sleeving with Standard American, which caused the sleeves to bow out and made it difficult to stack the cards into a deck without them falling over. This may be fixed by pressing the sleeved cards, but I haven't tried it yet. The matte finish creates a frosted effect over the card graphics, which noticeably washes out the colors and slightly blurs the text. The finish does dull the sharpness of any glare, but the cards still aren't visible through the remaining glare, so that small benefit comes at the expense of legibility even when there isn't glare. In the end, I prefer regular clear sleeves for their clarity, and the surface contour of a quality clear sleeve is smooth enough that any glare can be controlled, so I'm optimistic about trying the Gamegenic Prime sleeves next!
