Sleeves

By TyrionXavier, in XCOM: The Board Game

Looking at the back of the box, I see that the game requires 2 FF Green packs.

So I get the game opened, and I'm sleeving away, and I get to the Green sized cards. It seems to be a pretty average sized deck of cards - why does it need 2 packs of sleeves?

Lo and behold, there are 51 cards of that size. 1 more sleeve than is in a pack.

I think it's time you guys start saying how many of each card, by size, are in the box, in addition to how many packs of sleeves are needed. I happen to have an extra pack of Green sleeves already, so I didn't need to buy 2 packs of sleeves, but I had no way of knowing that until I opened the game.

Listing 5 Invasion Plan cards, 28 Tech cards, 32 Crisis cards, etc, tells me nothing about their size.

Lo and behold, there are 51 cards of that size. 1 more sleeve than is in a pack.

Lol, I bet they planned it that way.

Look at it this way: now you have plenty of sleeves for the expansion ;)
