Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a dice tray?
A dice tray is not essential but highly recommended. It keeps dice from flying off the table, protects table surfaces from metal dice, reduces noise, and adds a premium feel to your gaming sessions. Leather and velvet-lined trays are the most popular options.
What makes a good card sleeve?
Good card sleeves should be clear, consistent in size, and durable enough to withstand frequent shuffling. For standard card games, 63x88mm sleeves work. For mini cards, use 44x67mm. Matte-back sleeves offer the best shuffle feel, while clear backs show card art better.
