Game sleeves are designed to protect your game board from wear, tear, or spills, and are available in a variety of materials, including vinyl, neoprene, and foam. They're also available in sizes ranging from small to XXL.

Our testers in the MOOZ Themes Reviews Lab test game sleeves for durability, ease of use, and fit. We evaluate durability by testing the sleeves for wear and tear, including tearing, stretching, and cracking. We also test how well they fit, including whether they slip off easily, whether they bunch up, and whether they fit securely on the game board.

Our top picks for game sleeves are the Chessex Vinyl Game Sleeves, which come in a variety of colors and are easy to clean, and the Chessex Heavy Duty Game Sleeves, which feature thick, durable foam. They're also available in multiple sizes, from large to extra large.

TitanShield (150 Sleeves) Mini European Sized Board Game Card Sleeves

TitanShield (150 Sleeves) Mini European Board Sized Game Card Sleeves

by TitanShield

Dual Textured Surface With Anti-Slip Properties for Easy Handling.

Our second favorite card sleeve is TitanShield, which, like our other top pick, is made of flexible, thick, transparent polypropylene. The 150 sleeves are sized to fit cards up to 44x68mm, and they don't contain any PVC, so they're safe to put in your pocket or backpack. The sleeves feel sturdy and have a good amount of give, so they won't damage your cards if you accidentally tug on them. The 150 sleeves have a thick, smooth, clear coating, which doesn't make the cards difficult to handle and makes them easy to shuffle. The coating also makes the cards less susceptible to smudges and fingerprints, and we found the sleeves wiped clean easily with a damp cloth. The coating makes the cards look attractive, and they don't show fingerprints or smudges as readily as sleeves made with thinner materials. (TitanShield's coating is also slightly sticky, so the cards don't slide around as much in storage or while you're playing.) The sleeves are easy to set up, and the contact info is printed on the inside, so it's easy to contact the company if you have questions or problems.

Game of Thrones: Targaryen card sleeves by Dragon Shield are a big improvement over the sleeves we tested last year. The sleeves are sturdy, and the art is printed directly on the sleeve, so they won't peel or split. We also like the brushed texture of the sleeves, which gives them a silky-smooth shuffle feel. They are thin enough that they don't add bulk to cards, and they fit cards measuring up to 63mm x 88mm. The sleeves are slightly narrower than our top pick, which is slightly wider, so the cards fit better in them. They feature clear fronts and House of Targaryen crests on the backs. We also like that they are compatible with Pokémon, Yugioh, and Magic The Gathering sleeves.

Arcane Tinmen Medium Board Game Card Sleeves – 57mm x 89mm – Bundle of 2 – 200 Sleeves Total

Board Game Sleeves Arcane Tinmen Medium Board Game Card Sleeves – x 57mm 89mm – Bundle of 2 – 200 Sleeves Total

by QualiToys

Each pack contains 100 clear card sleeves. Two packs for a total of 200 sleeves.

The Arcane Tinmen Board Game Card Sleeves are exactly what their name says. They are made of clear vinyl and fit most American board games, including Munchkin, A Game of Thrones, Ticket to Ride variants and many more. The sleeves are thin, with a semi-soft feel, and they have a semi-transparent back, so you can see what's inside. The sleeves are all the same thickness, so they're easy to use, and they fit snugly over the cards. They're also reusable, so even if you break a sleeve, you don't throw away the whole deck. The sleeves aren't perfect, however. The backs aren't perfectly smooth, so they stick a little to cards that are a little dirty or oily, and it can be difficult to get them off. The sleeves also don't cover the corners of cards, so in some cases, your cards can get folded up or bent. That said, if you're planning to store a large number of board games, these sleeves are a nice, cost-effective solution.

Arcane Tinmen Standard Board Game Card Sleeves - 63mm x 88mm - Bundle of 2 - 200 Sleeves Total

Board Game Sleeves Arcane Tinmen Board Standard Game Card Sleeves

by Arcane Tinmen

Each pack contains 100 clear card sleeves. Two packs for a total of 200 sleeves.

These 8-bit board game sleeves fit our 2-player board game perfectly, and they slide snugly over our cards. The clear front and back make it easy to see our cards through the sleeve, and the sleeve openings fit the cards snugly, preventing them from falling out. The sleeves have a smooth, soft feel, and they feel almost non-abrasive when I slide my cards back and forth. They're made of a thin, yet durable, plastic, so they should hold up well against wear and tear. Buying these sleeves in a bundle was a deal, because each sleeve costs about $3. We also noticed that each sleeve comes in two sizes, and while one is a perfect fit for our board game, the other is slightly too big, so buying them separately was a gamble. While Arcane Tinmen's sleeves are expensive, they're worth the cost, and we think they're better than the sleeves made by our other top pick, Legacy Board Games.

These plastic card sleeves are the gold standard of card protection, and it's no wonder: They're built like a tank, and they come in a wide variety of sizes to fit both standard and standard size cards. The sleeves are slightly thicker than most sleeves, which provides extra protection against bending and crushing. The heavy-duty material makes the sleeves suitable for any card game, including Magic, Yugioh, poker, and board games. The sleeves are also durable enough to protect cards from grease and grime. The sleeves are slightly more expensive than most sleeves, but they're also significantly more durable, so we recommend spending the extra money.

TitanShield (150 Sleeves) Clear Mini American Size Board Game and Matte Card Sleeves

TitanShield (150 Sleeves) Clear Mini American Board Size Game and Matte Card Sleeves

by TitanShield

Dual Textured Surface With Anti-Slip Properties for Easy Handling.

The TitanShield clear sleeves are small, but effective. They fit cards up to 41x63mm, which is about the size of a common-sized card deck. The sleeves are 150 sleeves, so they're good for up to 150 cards, making them a good deal. The sleeves are thin, transparent, and resistant to wear and tear. They're also stackable, so they're easy to keep in a deck box. The sleeves are slightly translucent, so the cards inside show through slightly, but it's not a big deal. The sleeves also have a nice matte finish, which helps prevent glare. The sleeves are not waterproof, so cards will fog up if it's humid. The sleeves also don't protect against water damage, so cards may mildew or rot if kept in a damp place. The sleeves are also a bit thicker than regular sleeves, but we found they weren't a problem.

The Dragon Shield Card Sleeves are tough and protective, but they're not airtight, so they don't protect your cards from moisture damage. The sleeves are large enough to fit up to 75 cards, and they have a lightly textured back, so the cards slide smoothly through the sleeves. The sleeves are printed on the sleeves, so they don't have any white borders, which we prefer. The Dragon Shield Card Sleeves come in three different designs: House Greyjoy, House Targaryen, and House Stark. The Greyjoy sleeves are the smoothest of the three groups, and the Stark and Targaryen sleeves both have a lightly textured back. The sleeves fit cards measuring up to 63mm x 88mm, and they come is a pack of 100 sleeves. The sleeves are 8mm thick and are made of a blend of polypropylene and polyethylene. The sleeves are made in the USA, and the company is based in the United States. The Dragon Shield Card Sleeves are priced at $7.99.
