So great to have a scripted video up again. I know these take stacks of work but the really set you apart from the rest. I also so glad to have a reference to send my friends about why I sleeve.

Omg this was one of the most hilarious skits you made, almost spit out my morning coffee when I watched this.

Fantastic video! Even as someone who has sleeved for 5 years, I learned something new from this video. Specifically, I hadn't heard about Paladin before. I'll have to check them out. The comparison of the different sleeve manufacturers was very good. I've always been a fan of FFG's sleeves, but I've dabbled in various others as needed. That BGG GeekList is a gem, and I refer people to it frequently.

I'll be talking about all other different types of board game accessories in future videos, and I want to draw people's attention to the whole array of wonderful stuff there is out there. So if you know of any specific accessory companies worth talking about - please let me know!

I used to sleeve every cards in every games. Now I tend to sleeve only the cards that are handled a lot or shuffled a lot during a game.

I instantly sleeve all deduction games. "Hmm, I wonder who voted against this mission? Well, clearly it was Tom whose 'no' vote card has a pizza stain?" Once a card is marked in a deduction game, it can be hard to ignore. One Night Ultimate Werewolf has tiles that many gamers claim are easily marked. When the publisher made custom sleeves for the cards, they were monstrously expensive.

Great video. All the reasons for sleeving are valid, but it reminds me of when my gran used to buy a nice plush sofa and then cover it with horrible clear plastic sheets to protect it.

My go to sleeves are Sleeve Kings, seem to have connection to Mayday. They have a wide range of sizes. I prefer the 60 micron sleeves to avoid the excess bulk.

Well, that's it - you've finally made me order very-oddly-sized sleeves for Tash Kalar. I usually sleeve cards where sleeves are readily available, but not where they aren't. But, I've played Tash Kalar with people who are less OCD than me before, and the cards do shuffle slightly less easily than they used to. It's horrifying!

As a fellow sleeving addict, I just wanna give you a big, embarrassing, teary-eyed hug. Preach it, man, preach it!

dragon shield sleeves are really good for standard sized cards.

I love your music videos. You almost brought me to the sleeve side with this one. :) Only games I consider sleeving are the ones where some cards are not used as much as the others so after some time you can tell them apart.

Hey all. A hint for using the BGG sleeve geeklist. An easier way to navigate to an entry is to look up the game itself on BGG. Then select the download labelled "Move". From there select "Geeklists" and then sort by "Hot".

Nice video! Agreed on all accounts. My go-to sleeves have become Paladin (for larger games) and KMC Hyper MAT (for LCGs like Arkham Horror or AGoT). KMC are really the nicest sleeves around, but they're also considerably more expensive than most other brands.
