Munchkin Booty

[PriusGuy2004]

Hello...

I recently ordered Munchkin Booty and the Munchkin Booty 2 "Jump the Shark" expansion from Amazon.com. They should be coming in the mail tomorrow and later this week. I also purchased the 15-card expansion, "Fish & Ships" at my local game store because I found it for $3.95. The 15-card expansion has different card backs compared to my regular set of Munchkin card games (I also have Munchkin and Munchkin: Legends).

1) Will Munchkin Booty and Munchkin Booty 2 have regular card backs? Or, will they match the card backs of the 15-card expansion?
2) If the card backs are different between the base game and the 15-card expansion, do you just play them as normal doors and treasures...even though you know what cards might come up?

The card backs for Booty, Jump the Ship, and Fish & Ships are all the same. Each of the different Munchkin base sets (Star Munchkin, Super Munchkin, Munchkin Booty, etc.) has their own unique card back that is different from Fantasy Munchkin (the Original). The only exceptions to this are Munchkin Legends, Munchkin Conan, and the about to come out Munchkin Pathfinder, which all have the original card backs.

So how does that work when the World of Munchkin website says that Munchkin Booty is completely compatible with the original Munchkin. Do you still mix the decks...even though they will have different looking backs on them?

Yes. It's not that much of an issue, really. Some people buy card sleeves to increase the level of surprise, but, honestly, the game's not that rigorous that it matters.
