Default What games does the board and tokens come in?

I bought the Adventure Time version at Fencon.
It describes moving tokens on the board to levels, up to 10.


But it didn't come with a board or tokens...

So I watched again, the Tabletop Game video, with Steve, Will, Felicia and Sandeep, and saw what the board and tokens look like.

I assumed.... that if I bought the original Munchkin game, I would get these items. I just opened the box. Not there.

Is this an item that's just displayed on the program and doesn't exist?
Sans the board, how do folks play?
It occurred to me that I could get decks of playing cards and players could just turn over a card to show their level.

But still, I plan to introduce this game to teens soon. I feel the board with the tokens will capture their interest better. Is this an item that's sold separately?

Thanks in advance...

Boards and tokens come with Munchkin Deluxe or Munchkin Pathfinder Deluxe, or if you just want the board and tokens without the game, there's Munchkin Level Playing Field.

The rules to the base games give you ideas on how to track your Level on the first page, like glass beads, coins, poker chips, and other things you wouldn't accidentally eat. Being an old school gamer, I had plenty of 10-sided dice that I would use to track Level. There are also Android and iPhone apps for tracking Level. Also, the boxes do declare specifically what's in them.

The Tabletop episode uses Munchkin Deluxe, hence the board and pawns. The Tabletop episode shouldn't really be used to determine actual gameplay, since there are several "mistakes," some possibly intentional, to speed up the game.

I don't remember there being a mention of a board in the AT rules when we were playtesting. I'll have to go look closely at my released copy. It's possible they got their copy of the rules from Munchkin Deluxe, and we assumed, during playtest, that there would be a board. . .
