I try to sleeve all my games because I'm paranoid about damaged cards and I generally like the feeling of thicker cards in the hand. I find they're a must with games that are often played or shuffled frequently. However a pet peeve of mine is when manufacturers make inserts that don't accommodate sleeves, be it the sleeves not fitting in the space or spilling out due to the thickness.

Really good video on sleeving. Great beginners' guide! I started sleeving with the Resistance and Exploding Kittens when crucial role cards and bomb cards had got marked to the point of revealing information after this. It wasn't long afterwards that I began sleeving almost everything. I'd say it can get out of control, especially when you start sleeving games you only end up playing once or twice. However, it's comforting to know that decades from now when you've got kids/grandkids, they should be able to enjoy games whose cards aren't damaged or shiny from greasy fingers. I've also noticed that less careful people (usually non-hobbyists, including kids) tend to treat your cards better if they see they're wrapped in plastic 😂 The process of sleeving is also incredibly therapeutic and zen-like. All the points about shuffling, box size etc... in this video are true and worth taking into account if you're thinking of starting. In my case, many boxes have lost their inserts due to the amount of space needed to accommodate sleeved decks of cards.

I started sleeving my base game of Agricola... but now I've got the Farmers of the Moore plus every deck A-D and it's just so many cards! I have all the sleeves for it but now I don't know where I'm gonna put all the cards lol, they most certainly won't be fitting back in the box, that's for sure.

Bought CMON's Marvel United with the express intention of playing it with my 9 year old... and yeah, given the proximity of sugary drinks and sticky fingers, I sleeved that right up!!! A LOT of card sleeves but, like you mention in your video, think of it as 'insurance'!!!

always, every card, and sleeve the sleeve, everything should be double sleeved, end of discussion 😆

I sleeve every card for every game but because you can never be too careful I only drink neat bourbon when gaming, no condensation 🥃😜👍🏻
