Skull and Shackles Card Count


Pathfinder Adventure Card Game General Discussion


Vic once gave a count of all the cards by type in RotR.

For those of us looking to buy sleeves, I'm wondering if such a count might be available for S&S at this time. Thanks.


This would be great cause I just thought today about ordering sleeves for S&S and the Class Decks. Any info would be much appreciated.

Also interested in this information as well.

For the Class Decks, Vic confirmed the following breakdown from a previous thread:

4 Character Cards
4 Character Token Cards
4 Role Cards
97 Boons
1 Rule Card (Not counted in the 109 count marked on the box)

Given the Character, Token and Role cards are double sided (not sure about the rule card) and if you wanted to go with a mix of clear sleeves for the double sided and single sided sleeves for the others, you would need the the following for all 7 class decks

84 Clear Sleeves (+7 more if rules are doublesided)
679 Single Sided Sleeves (+7 if rules are singlesided)

There are 1170 cards in S&S, not counting promos. 155 of them are two-sided (meaning you want clear sleeves for them).

There are 14 promo cards (not counting Ranzak's rules card), and 6 of them are two-sided.


Thanks Vic!

So 6 two sides promos. Ranzak (character, token, role) account for 3 of them. And we've seen the goblin ship in the blog. Let the speculation being on the remaining 2 double sided promo card!

I'll give you a hint: Mike hoped the double-sided promos (that aren't Ranzak) would come out in December. You know, because of the song.

(They're not all coming in December.)


PIRATE GOBLIN ST. NICK??

POOG IN A SANTA BEARD?!

Hmm...Well, you've got me stumped. I guess I'll just have to wait for Christmas Day, specifically in the morning, to see what comes in at that specific time and in what quantity they might come in.

That particular idea was Gaby's, and while she was sad when she found out she couldn't have her thematic three-pack, she was mollified when I said one of them would be called the Goblin Weidling.


Interesting! There are relatively few 2-sided cards in PACG.

- There are characters, but they need 3 cards
- We have adventures, scenairos and locations
- We have ships (1 already is a promo)

Maybe we get a special (goblin themed) scenairo with a unique location ? That would be fun.


A goblin location and scenario would be crazy. I guess that would just be a bonus scenario since it wouldn't show up on any of the adventure cards. Hmm... Color me excited for the possibility.


I'm guessing two more ships. The song is the key:

I saw three ships come sailing in on Christmas Day on Christmas Day... (I don't know the rest of the song)

Yes, that's the song I was thinking about as well.

I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning.

And what was in those ships all three,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?
And what was in those ships all three,
On Christmas Day in the morning?

The Virgin Mary and Christ were there,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

Pray, wither sailed those ships all three,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
Pray, wither sailed those ships all three,
On Christmas Day in the morning?

O they sailed into Bethlehem,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
O they sailed into Bethlehem,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

And all the bells on earth shall ring,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
And all the bells on earth shall ring,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

And all the Angels in Heaven shall sing,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
And all the Angels in Heaven shall sing,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

And all the souls on earth shall sing,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
And all the souls on earth shall sing,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

Then let us all rejoice again,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
Then let us all rejoice again,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

If we "Goblin-ify" it a bit...

I saw three ships come sailing in,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day,
I saw three ships come sailing in,
On Christmas day in the morning.

On Christmas day, on Christmas day,
And what was in those ships all three?
On Christmas day in the morning.

A goblin crew, a vast matey,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day,
A goblin crew, a vast matey,
On Christmas day in the morning.

Pray whither sailed those ships all three?
On Christmas day, on Christmas day,
Pray whither sailed those ships all three?
On Christmas day in the morning.

Oh, they sailed into Abendego,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day,
Oh, they sailed into Abendego,
On Christmas day in the morning.

Gaby would be happy. (A bit)


Assuming it is 2 more ships coming, that is awesome. Because the first promo ship is Class 0. So you'll probably use up its usefulness fairly early in the adventure path. Two higher class ships would grant some long term usefulness.

A promo location would be cool too, but it would probably only be useful for homebrew. They can't make the adventure path and assume you have the promos, so nothing could reference that location.

Now, if locations had traits, and "Island" was one of the traits, you could make a scenario that had you searching for a lost island. And each time you moved you had to summon and build a random location with Island trait. Then you could have a promo Goblin Island location...


Thanks for the card counts, that really helps a lot

I might point out that the Weidling will stay in the game, so that when you meet a *random* ship, you might just meet it.

hmmm ... starting to get a bit of anxiety realizing it will take approximately 2736 of the newer Ultra-Pro sleeves to cover RotR cards (~1034), Class decks (679), S&S cards (1015 after all the decks) and 8 promos.

55 packs of 50 sleeves = 2750 sleeves ... $4.40 plus 7% tax for each pack. (Factoring in subscriber discount). YIKES!

Thankfully my clear sleeves can be repurposed once I replace them with then new ones.


For the class decks, you really only need about 20. The boons from your class decks won't be in the locations. So you just need to sleeve the ones in your character deck.

Not if he's going to use them in regular play outside of OP. That's what I'm getting them for.


Same boat as you Theryon. I've already ordered 45 packs of the PACG UP sleeves. Just need to order 10 more.

I'll be repurposing my clear sleeves as well as they are replaced by the PACG sleeves so I don't need to buy anymore of those at least.

It's been an expensive month... and only 7 days in.

It will be. Trying to get stuff ready for organized play when I get back home from GenCon. So I think I'll pick up some sleeves now and some later. And because of that, i'll probably sleeve my entire class deck. But that is a good point about not needing to sleeve all of it.
