Default Idea: Boosters with additional copies of Races and Classes.

I've been playing Fantasy Munchkin since Clerical Errors, and since then I've bought every expansion set as soon as they're released. You guys have always taken extra consideration to the balance of Race and Class cards in each new expansions. Most expansions add additional copies of existing Races and Classes, and when a new one is introduced you provide enough copies to even out the count (assuming you add the expansions in order). Everything was more or less kept balanced with every new expansion.

Then the boosters happened. I have all of them, and love them to death, but there's just one problem: None of them contain any Races or Classes.

Everything else seems to be okay. There are always a couple Go Up a Level cards, monsters of varying levels, Potions, equipment, everything. My Treasure deck is doing fine, but with each new booster the concentration of Races and Classes suffers.

I'm seriously thinking about buying some blank cards from Warehouse 23 and making 1 or 2 extra copies of every Race and Class to balance things out a bit. Most people in my playing group support this idea, and it's easy enough since 20 blank cards are only $5.

My idea is a booster pack containing one copy of each of the 7 Races and 6 Classes from Munchkin 1-8. This would be a great help to anyone who has added every booster and a number of promos to their decks.

I can't see that booster selling nearly enough copies to make it worth our while. Sorry.

What if it wasn't a finseal? What if it was done like the W23 exclusive boosters? Plastic ziplock containing one each of the 13 race/class cards and maybe the race/class modifiers like "high" and "dark" to round it out? The cost would be lower than the finseal.

Still wouldn't do it. The market for "here's a bunch of cards you already have" is not that large.

I'd be a lot more interested in a booster that's nothing but low and high level monsters, like 1-3 and 18-20(+). There never seem to be enough low level monsters to fight at the beginning of the game, and never enough huge monsters with nasty Bad Stuff at the endgame. Another pack similar to Monster Enhancers would be welcome as well.

If we do an expansion that's primarily monsters, it'll probably be a full expansion, not a booster. Having said that, at least two of the fantasy boosters planned for next year have more monsters.
