Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased these for the Dominion and intrigue game. As a ex-MTG player I am already used to covering the logo side of the card. These sleeves are very durable, out of the dominion/intrigue cards my friend tore only one sleeve so far.
Only one concern:
The sleeves tend to really stick together. My coliges and I speculate that static electricity is holding them in place or grease from our hands since we do play this game three times a day.
Solution:
If you buy these sleeves and they do tend to stick together I found out that the best remedy is to rub the individual decks together. The friction causes the cards to loosen up and make the deck manageable once more.
The Sleeves blend well with the Dominion's black border which I love.
Beside the sleeves sticking together this is a worth buy.EDIT: (1 week later)
Yeah, could not take it any more. Had to go a buy clear plastic Mayday Euro Card sized Sleeves.

Our latest sleeve, the Euro Card Sleeve -Black Backed (Pack of 100) -59 MM X 92 MM.Yes these do fit Dominion by Rio Grande Games and yes the cards will actually fit back in the box with the sleeves on them! You may have to re-arrange a few copper/silver but the rest of the items will fit back in the slots they are intended to go into! Here is how many packs of sleeves you would need for Dominion:Dominion Base Game - 500 Cards, 5 packs of sleeves.Dominion Intrigue Game - 500 Cards, 5 packs of sleeves.Dominion Seaside Expansion - about 270 Cards, 3 packs of sleeves.In each pack you are getting 100 sleeves that are perfectly sized for 59 X 92 MM Cards, the most popular card size for euro games including Agricola, Balloon Cup, Battlelore, Castle for All Seasons, Cuba, Duel In the Dark, Jambo, Le Havre, Manhattan, Memoir '44, Notre Dame, San Juan, Stone Age, Taj Mahal, Witch's Brew and more!So what is the difference between this and our standard euro sleeve? The sizes are exactly the same, but the back of these are solid black in color so you can't see through them. What good is this? If you buy a game and then play it and then buy an expansion for it then chances are your cards are worn and faded on the first game while the expansion cards look brand new. In other words you can tell where the card came from just by looking at the back, even with clear sleeves. With black-backed sleeves you can sleeve all your cards and you won't be able to tell the difference among sets of worn or new cards. You can also create your own custom cards and use these black-backed sleeves to blend them right in with the game!
