Any change to card size with new printing [Super Munchkin]?

[Andrew Hackard]

Quick answer: I'm not sure.

Longer answer: I want to be very clear, given how you worded your question, to make it clear that we're talking about a difference of a millimeter or less, and that this was not a DELIBERATE change, merely an artifact of using different printers at different times. (I know you know this; I'm being pedantic because the last thing I need is to start a "SJ Games made the new Munchkin printings a different size so we'd have to buy everything all over again!" rumor. We didn't. Snot true.)

Everything we have printed since about this time last year has come from a single printer, and therefore the cards should all be cut to the same specifications, but we cannot guarantee 100% compatibility with older printings. There may be slight variations in card height, width, or corner rounding. If this really bugs you, I suggest card sleeves.

Thanks, Andrew. I certainly didn't mean to imply that it was some malevolent plot on SJG's part to get more sales, or anything like that. I just figured I'd ask, in case it was known. Sounds like I'll just have to get the two boxes and see for myself if they were from the same printers.

I know you didn't, but it's a touchy subject because it's such an annoying problem. What I meant to say about Cth4 is that it will mix with the NEW printings of Cth1-3, but I don't know where we had the PREVIOUS printings done and I can't guarantee that they'll match exactly.

With luck, in a couple of years this will be less of a problem because we've standardized on a single printer, and as old product flushes through the supply chain, it will be reprinted at the same place using the same die to cut the cards.
