Wrong Rules?

[martin88]

When i played Munchkin with friends using his set the rules were each player got 2 cards from each deck at the start of the game.

I bought my Munchkin Deluxe about 4 days ago and my rules clearly state that each player gets 4 cards from each deck. My friend says thats the "fast play" rules and im reading it wrong but thats not the case it says this under the "SETUP" section of the rules.

Have the rules been altered?

the rule is you hand out 4 of each door and treasure card out. so the total is 8 to start out with.

The rules have been altered over the years. You currently get 2*4 cards like in the "old" fast play rules.

More specifically, the rules were changed in April of 2010, though the first set with the new rules was out in May of 2010. It's hard to believe it's been almost 2 years. . .

The FAQ addresses this in more detail, under the heading titled "Important Note #0: The Great 2010 Changeover". And the changelog, although incomplete, is pretty informative.
