It's very risky to play unsleeved because the cards are printed with vegetable ink and by design are not plastic coated, so I think you need enough for the following minimum:

>24 sleeves for the challenge deck, gets shuffled the most of anything
>35 sleeves per ranger, 30 in and 5 or less out
>100 sleeves for the pathdeck, weather, story cards etc

All three of those you'll want different colors for, so two packs of 50 in different colors plus a pack of 100 clears for the path deck would get you enough to play. Keep in mind this means you desleeve the path deck when you drastically change biomes, but I'm talking like trekking from one end of the map clear to the other in the same playsession, which likely won't happen. If you want enough for all story cards and path cards probably a set of 200 clears would cover all if not most. You leave the ranger cards and story cards you're not deckbuilding with (a canoe full) in the box at home and do edits as the story progresses. If you wanted to sleeve everything the base game has, I just did a search so see below:

>The core set of Earthborne Rangers contains 540 total cards
>Includes 282 Ranger cards (specialization, background, personality, aspect, and reward sets)
>and 258 Environment & Misc. cards (terrain, pivotal location, valley, general, location, weather, mission, challenge, reference, and malady sets)

P.s. I've taken this game hiking with me, so if you want to do that just get one of these to haul it in your backpack plus a separate deck box for player decks, and then bring a trapper keeper to keep the rulebook and sheets safe plus a small sack for tokens and die. Game's fun outdoors, would recommend, but please don't take it out in the rain or snow.
