Dragon Shield: Board Game Sleeves keep your cards safe from spilled drinks and greasy fingers, make shuffling easy, and keep your games looking pristine without being marred by dings and scratches

In terms of cultivating a stack, its always been a matter of trial and error for me with regard to finding a nice balance of cards that are fun and exciting to play together
