It is a set of simple card sleeves that are basically plastic sleeves to protect your cards from wear and tear! If you play very many European Board Games you probably spend HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of dollars on your games. What happens to the best ones? They eventually wear out from hours and hours of fun! Don't let your cards get beat up, spilled on, marked up or destroyed by thoughtless friends or family, invest a few bucks in these and protect your investment! - Whats that? You already have sleeves? Yeah, well you may have some sleeves but chances are they don't fit very well. Why? Standard sized card sleeves are NOT sized for "Euro Cards"! Take a look at this list of games who's cards will fit perfectly in our sleeves: - Agricola (350+ Cards), Balloon Cup, Battlelore, Blue Moon City, Dominion (500+ cards), Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Dual In the Dark, For Sale, Jambo & Expansion, Kahuna, Knights of Charlemagne, La Havre, Lord Of The Rings & Expansions, Lord Of The Rings Trivia, LOTR Confrontation, Olympia 2000, Relationship Tightrope, San Juan, Starship of Catan, Stone Age, Taj Mahal and Top Race! - Yes all of the above games have this unique "Euro" Sized Card and you simply can not find this sized sleeve anywhere in the US, nor can you find it hardly anywhere worldwide! Crazy huh? Well we have answered the mayday again! | | | Features: | |

 Works with Dominion Cards...BUTJan 22, 2010
By E. Lambeth
I've purchased these cards and have successfully sleeved the 500 Dominion Cards. That was fun. The funner part is getting them back into their slots.
All of the cards fit back into their designated slots except two: The Silver goes into its slot, but it's REALLY tight. Tight to the point where you have to worry about damaging the cards that you've just taken 5 hours to sleeve. Almost as tight as the Silver cards are the Curse and Gold cards.
The Copper cards don't come close to fitting. You have to take maybe a 3rd of those cards and put them elsewhere (I put mine in the blank slots).
None of this matters if you get one or two expansions and want to put all of those decks into one box, because you have to get rid of the plastic tray to make room for all those decks. But if you don't plan on adding expansions or you plan on keeping expansions in their own boxes, then you'll at least know that all of these don't fit in their proper slots, but they still CAN fit into the box by moving things around a little.
No problems at all with the randomizer cards and the randomizer slot.
I do overhand shuffling when I play Dominion, so I have no problem shuffling in that manner. If you prefer rifle shuffling when your deck gets big, best of luck to ya. That's why I didn't buy similar cards for Ticket To Ride.
I just started out with these, but I could see where constantly putting these cards back in their trays would probably wear the card sleeves down quicker. So all the more reason to get rid of the plastic tray.

 Inconsistent SizingFeb 28, 2010
By Ginny S.
I purchased these Euro card sleeves for the game Dominion, which involves so much card shuffling and manipulation that I believe sleeves are essential. Unfortunately, these Mayday card sleeves have slight variations from one package to the next. I sleeved "gold", "silver", and half the "copper" cards with a package of Mayday sleeves from one purchase (the store had only one package left) and the remaining game cards with four packages of Mayday sleeves that I purchased from Amazon. My son says he can always cut his deck with "money" on top because the money card sleeves are just a tiny bit wider than the other cards in the deck. Other than that flaw (which I hope Mayday has corrected), the card sleeves are fine and serve their purpose.

These sleeves are crap! (Edited: Awesome Customer Support)Jun 05, 2010
By Curt L. Woodard
Edit: OK, I spoke with Customer support and within the week, I had replacements for all of the defective sleeves, no questions asked. It turns out there was a bad production run that they were getting past. The new sleeves had only 6 out of 500 that didn't fit and when I ordered 1000 new ones for other Dominion expansions, all but one of the sleeves fit. On top of that, they shipped directly to my local game store and didn't charge me shipping.
So, my previous review can be considered a fluke. I would recommend these sleeves for Dominion and other Euro-sized cards.
------------------------------------------------
Quite literally 30% of the sleeves in any package of sleeves WILL NOT fit. They are too small and a few times I had a sleeve SPLIT OPEN when I just tried putting the card in the thing.
I have to admit, the ones that actually do fit, fit well. But when you have 30+ out of 100 that are too small and actually keep your cards in a slightly bent position...I say move along.
Pros: cheap sleeves. When a sleeve does fit properly it's nice.
Cons: 30%+ failure rate is CRAZY STUPID. You'd think that there were some sort of quality control going on, but obviously not.
Look elsewhere for Euro card sleeves! Unfortunately for me, I bought 1,000 (10 packs) because I have Dominion and Dominion: Intrigue and wanted my cards to stay in good condition (500 cards each game).

 Inconsistency is the problemJun 23, 2010
By A Reader
These sleeves are perfect for card games like Dominion, except that they are so inconsistently sized that you need to order extra to make up for the ones that won't fit. I estimate that 10-15 per pack are too small for the cards. The card will fit in the sleeve only by having it curved and therefore unfair for gameplay, as everyone will know what it is after one round. While they are relatively inexpensive, it is frustrating to receive only 85-90 usable sleeves in a pack when I have paid for 100.

Works Great With DominionMar 01, 2010
By Mary K Gorman
"SuperMary"
I purchased several packages for Dominion and am happy to say they fit well. I haven't noticed any inconsistent sizing between the 5 packages I've used with the base game. I had previously tried using standard size card sleeves that were too wide but thought it would be manageable, but simply storing them proved otherwise (the excess of the sleeves were getting bent without any effort). It's worth the extra money to make sure the cards fit correctly and these ones definitely do. Altho, they are a little pricier than I would like, since buying enough for the base game and the two expansions would cost almost as much as the base game itself. But if you're like me and have fingers that destroy playing cards for some unexplainable and embarrassing reason, then it's worth it to sleeve them. As far as storing, I was able to pick up a 4 slotted card box (typically used for Magic collectors) at my local comic book/game store for about $3. Each row can store approximately 650-700 sleeved cards so it's a great alternative way to storing Dominion compared to the very bulky standard boxes (especially since it can fit base+expansions easily in that one box).
