All right all right, I'll go further I was writing late last night.
Shuffle feel so far, it's good. Because of the non-glare side, it's going to feel better than it would two glossy sides being shuffled against each other. What it really needed was thicker texture, like a standard TCG dragonshield, or Ultimate Guard Katana sleeves. As far as weird board game sizes go, titanshield still has the best shuffle feel. A shame the weld quality is so bad they're outright unusable for protection, I ripped 5 titanshields merely sleeving Chinatown. Not even PLAYING chinatown, just sleeving it. They omitted the bumpy texture for the non-glare side, but I don't think it was worth it. Comparing El grande cards in bright light with the glossy and non-glare sides, the non glare side still glares. It's just sort of a muddy, diffused glare rather than a screaming bright one. The glossy sides will naturally lose reflectivity as they get played with anyway, I would have preferred a better shuffle feel overall. Still, for stuff like Agricola, Cosmic encounter, El Grande, these are the best currently available option I know of. I would NOT buy these for games with TCG sized cards like Root, Acquire, Railways of the world, Sheriff of Nottingham, unless you're just a cheap bastard. Spend the extra $4 to get some good Dragonshield clears, practically every game store has them and sometimes they'll have bulk buy deals as well.
