Default Which original munchkin print edition to purchase...

Being that this is my first time to start playing I bought the 13th edition of the original version.

My question is, is there a benefit to purchasing the latest edition of the original version due to better cards and newer rules? Or is my version ok and I can read the updated rule sheet online and the only difference in cards is the fact that mine are not in color and the cards are the same?

Thanks

The cards are almost all the same, but in color with the new printing, although there are a few cards that had significant changes. If you can find it (it's out of print now), the "Go Up A Level" package contains updates for all the cards which were significantly changed with the 2010 update (for ALL versions of Munchkin).

If all you have is the base Munchkin set though, just getting a recent color printing might be an overall better value, it'll be a little bit more expensive, but then all the color expansions you'll find will fit in better.

However the older edition plays just fine, there is no absolute NEED to update anything.
