Card Sleeves for Euro Games

Friday, July 10th, 2009

I know that if you are like me, many of you like to keep your board games in as prestine condition as possible. The problem is that until recently, the only sleeves available for board and card games tended to dwarf the card being protected.

Well now there is a solution… Mayday Games offers a few different sleeves for your gaming pleasure:

MDG7028 Euro Penny Card Sleeves $2.25
These sleeves are the perfect size for many popular euro games such as Agricola, Dominion, Stone Age and Balon Cup! They measure in at 59mmx92mm and come 100 sleeves per pack.

MDG7029 Premium Euro Card Sleeves $2.50
These sleeves are the same size as the above sleeves, except they are 125% thicker! They measure in at 59mmx92mm and come 50 sleeves per pack.

MDG7028 Mini Euro Card Sleeves $1.75
These sleeves are the perfect size for many popular games such as Ticket to Ride! They measure in at 45mmx68mm and come 100 sleeves per pack.

Currently we are well stocked on everything but the Premium Sleeves (we hope to have these soon). It is important to keep in mind that Mayday Games is a small company and takes them a long time to print and ship out their stock, and sometimes their supplies are low and allocated. So if you are looking for a lot of these, please let u know in advance and we will do our best to keep them in stock.

If you like these sleeves, you should definitely check out MaydayGames token sets, they offer replacement and extra tokens for a variety of game pieces. Many of the game pieces are shaped to represent the actual gae piece… for instance, why should your sheep in Agricola look like a white cube when they can look like white sheep!

Bang!

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

We have two Bang! products arriving the middles of next week.

Bang! Dodge City: This is the 4th Edition expansion to the base Bang! game which is currently available. It now comes packaged in a box set and includes the High Noon cards as well.

Bang! The Bullet: This item was such a hot seller that it sold out before most players could get their hands on it. Although it contains the 3rd Edition version of Bang! it includes all the expansions (Dodge City, High Noon, Fistful of Cards) as well as a nifty plastic badge for the Sheriff and an awesome bullet-shaped container to hold all of your cards.

In case you are wondering, the difference between 3rd Edition and 4th Edition are mostly cosmetic. If you don’t have a preference, then The Bullet is the way to go as it is a self contained game and has everything nicely packaged in a cool looking tin. If you are into aesthetics, then 4th Edition is the way to go… you will have to purchase the base game and the expansion separately, but the look and feel of the cards are an obvious step up. The player boards are a nice edition with some great artwork and all of the spaces you need to track your roles, weapons and bullets. The 4th Edition cards are also written in English as opposed to the 3rd Edition Italian, which although it did not hamper actual game play, may be unappealing to some players.

So it’s time to saddle up pardners, grab your six shooters and keep your gunpowder dry, or else… Bang! Your dead!
