Munchkin Gets Promoted

Got this today and just realized... I paid almost $12 for a pack of cards that actually only had one card in it I didn't have yet that I needed (three new cards, only two are Fantasy Munchkin and one of those was just shipped out to me as a promo in my last order of 2013).

Thankfully, the awesome folks at W23 included three of the five promos I needed *and* two of the new coins. Yay! Four new cards and a new coin - worth the price of admission. :D

Oddly, they included a b&w copy of Step-and-a-Half from Munchkin Dice... which is also in the Gets Promoted booster. Not complaining, just a crazy random happenstance. :D

I got that Step-and-a-Half from Reloaded too. Curious about it because while it has the reloaded/Munchkin Dice icon on it. It wasn't in either set. Guess there was a change of plans back in the day and they've now found leftover of the old version. Either way it's fun to have.

That is funny... I didn't even realize. I just saw it wasn't in color and had the Dice icon on it, so I assumed it was from Munchkin Dice...

Andrew, is there an interesting story behind this one you'd like to share? :D

Of interest:
Color - Promoted Version - Door Card
Color - Promo Version - Door Card
B&W - Dice Version - Treasure Card.

Woah, woah, woah.... Hold up a second here.
I was putting my cards away and went to put the extra (weird) Step-and-A-Half away with the few B&W cards I have when I noticed... this Mug the Shopkeeper card I have has the Dice icon on it too...

If I remember correctly, some cards got the Dice/Reloaded icon by accident. I don't remember a super interesting story or nefarious intent involved.

They found a bunch of the older version when we were cleaning off shelves in preparation for Ogre. There's no reason not to use them, so we're using them.

Well, that's not as exciting as I thought... but still kinda neat. Not for me, since I'm not about getting every version of every card (just every card to play with), but any chance of getting a list of promo cards that were misprinted with the Dice/Reloaded icon?

[Andrew Hackard]

Sure.

Wow. I pity folks who are trying to get *everything*. Munchkin isn't a game for collectors. :D

Unless you've been there from the start...
