Mayday Sleeves: Standard USA Size - Chimera (100)

The sleeves are great for what I need, nothing too expensive but still protects the cards and have a good feel

The cards are very thin and I cannt recommend them

I got these for Battleline Medieval, and they fit PERFECTLY. I've mash shuffled with them several times now, and they seem to be very durable.

Everything is a trade-off. These are cheaper and thinner than the premium sleeves. For most games, I prefer premium sleeves, however, for some card-heavy games, cost, and most importantly space, adds up. Being thinner, you can sleeve fifty cards in Chimeras, and not double the size of the deck, whereas with premium sleeves, you'd easily more than double the size of the deck - leading to a storage in the game box problem, and a deck that constantly wants to slide and fall over. The coverage and size is good, protection is adequate for my generally careful gaming. And, as I'm apparently going to collect more and more Summoner Wars, the thinness is an advantage - letting me store the cards in the Master Set boxes. Sleeved cards handle and shuffle fine. I was concerned with the softer thinner corners making handling worse, and I'll post a follow up if I find a problem. But, they seem to feel fine and mash-shuffle well. PS - concerning Summoner Wars - BGG and other sources list them as Euro Board game sized cards - they are not. These Chimeras (Mayday American Board game) fit perfectly, Arcane Tinmen double matte green (Am. Board game) are too tight, Games Plus are okay, but too thick and inconsistent. FFG and NSKN are my apex sleeves, but again, are thicker and more spendy.

I purchased these sleeves to try as an alternative to the Fantasy Flight sleeves of the same size. I'm not a big fan of the fit on the Fantasy Flight sleeves and these are definitely a lot better in that regard. Unfortunately there is a tradeoff in quality though. These feel cheap and flimsy in comparison to the Fantasy Flight sleeves. They are also less expensive. In the end I decided to stick with the Fantasy Flight sleeves, but these are still pretty descent. Just remember that you get what you pay for!
