    Just a heads up: Contrary to this item's listing, these sleeves *will not* fit the cards in Chaos in the Old World. You need the "Mini Chimera" sleeves instead. See the link to Mayday's site for more details.

    [1] I was just going to say exactly the same thing.

    Wow, that's amazing, I was checking these out with the specific intention of sleeving that game! Thanks for the warning!

    How about Middle Earth Quest? I have two mayday size charts that list these on one, and chimera on another, but they list the dimensions as the same. I have enough from my yet-to-be--purchased TI3 expansion sleeves to put on it, but I just wondered. It would be nice to pick them up here again!

    I don't think they will fit Middle Earth Quest. The most recent chart shows "Mini Chimera".

    I think the dimensions of several of the cards that fit Mini Chimera sleeves are incorrect in the sleeve charts. Mayday says that the sizes of these cards were originally reported wrong by Fantasy Flight. Mayday made sleeves that fit the actual size, but it looks like the dimensions in the chart are still the reported size.

    I've found that for all the Fantasy Flight Games that I have, mini USA is the best size for the small cards. This includes Warrior Knights, Battlestar Galactica, and Red November. I don't have Chaos in the Old World or MEQ, but I would guess their size would be the same as BSG.

    However, the mini USA fit is very precise, and some people may wish to have a bigger sleeve so that there is more overhang at the top of the cards (the mini USA have no extra sleeve at all at the card top). In that case, some may prefer the mini chimeras for the FFG cards (but they will be a little wide).

    [6] "I don't have Chaos in the Old World or MEQ, but I would guess their size would be the same as BSG."

    You can guess that, but the fact is that they're not the same size. Mini USA sleeves *do* fit BSG and several other FFG games, but they *do not* fit Chaos in the Old World (as I and several others have already said). Presumably they don't fit MEQ either because Mayday has the wider Mini Chimera sleeves listed for that game as well.

    The list is right here: http://maydaygames.com/sleeves.pdf

    I just wanted to caution that the official Mayday list has had some incorrect information, particularly when it comes to FFG mini sized cards. The Mayday web site says that the mini USA do NOT fit BSG cards, but that has not been my first-hand experience. Has anyone here personally tried CitOW cards in both the mini USA and mini chimera sleeves to confirm? If so, thank-you for the heads-up!

    What I meant to convey previously is that if I had only seen the BSG cards in mini chimera sleeves, I would probably have called that an acceptable fit (just slightly big), but the mini USA are actually dead on (maybe too close for some people as far as overhang on the top). I've also noticed that the official FFG sleeves tend to fit less tightly than the Mayday sleeves. "Fit" may be a subjective term!

    [8] Sorry, for coming off a bit confrontational in that last post. You're right, "fit" is subjective! :)

    I have actually personally tried to put Chaos in the Old World cards in Mini USA sleeves. Technically, they do "fit", but you really have to cram them so they bow slightly, and they poke out of the top. Fortunately, I own BSG also, and was able to put the sleeves to good use since they fit those cards much better! I already bought a pack of mini Chimera sleeves for Chaos, but have not actually sleeved the cards yet.

    It's funny, I'm not really a card sleever most of the time, but those two sets of mini cards get handled so much that I decided to make the plunge. My other cards feel so naked now, so be wary of the slippery slope!

    Would these fit Wings of War cards?

  11. Avatar_profileOrangewalkie on Fri Apr 16, 2010 05:58 PM

    [10] It doesn't look like it. According to the chart, those cards are a few mm bigger in each dimension.

    so these sleeves fit TI3 perfectly. are the other games a little bit bigger than those, then?

  13. FileSailboatIlta on Sat Jun 05, 2010 09:22 PM

    [10] I use these mini euro sleeves for WoW (blue color) and they fit perfectly -- with the tolerances on the sleeves some are too small as is. So these would definitely be too small!

    For what it's worth, the mini euros work fine on BSG too, but I've heard the "chimera" size is a better fit. These would probably be too small, as well, but I don't know.
