7 DAYS A WEEK

That’s right—no weekends, no breaks—these card sleeves from the young Ukrainian brand Games7Days promise round-the-clock protection for your cards. Manufactured in China, these sleeves clearly outshine other Ukrainian-rooted protectors whose murky origins are shrouded in conspiracy—the so-called noname sleeves.

INEVITABLE WEAR

Everyone knows cards are the most vulnerable and wear-prone components of any game. Even the thickest, highest-quality cards with a linen texture lose their pristine look over time with heavy use. They’re shuffled repeatedly, handled by countless hands, and passed between players. Sadly, card wear is just a matter of time. Naturally, they’ll eventually fray from constant physical contact, soften from finger sweat, or, in the case of lower-quality cards, even peel and flake.

THE BEST PROTECTION FOR CARDS

To prevent this, protective card sleeves exist. These are transparent pockets in various sizes that cards slide into. Sure, they too will scratch and wear out over time, but unlike the cards themselves, you can always replace them with new ones. With sleeves, you no longer need to worry about perfectly clean hands. And in emergencies—like when a liquid, be it tea or another drink, spills—these pockets can literally save your cards’ lives.
