I couldn't agree more. Part of the marketing strategy of certain "other" CCGs is to make you buy a lot of randomized boosters to get the few that you need for your strategies. I think that policy is bad for the consumers and good for the manufacturers.

Props to Andrew and the Munchkin crew over at SJGames for not going this route.

It also doesn't make much sense in the context of a game where everyone plays from the same deck. Even if you were to get a "rare" card, it could go to anyone during the course of the game.

The coins, dolls, t-shirts, bookmarks, pens, etc give many, many options for a person to bring advantages to the gaming table. And just as many options to show off your inner geek. :)

My wife throws threatening glances at me whenever I hint at pulling out the Munchkin Mask.

I for one, am very happy that Munchkin isn't collectible. And I'm glad that Andrew and crew intend to keep it that way.

Someone on eBay just spent $85 for eight Munchkin promo cards, which is absurd.

Did the OP mean randomized boosters or "random" in the current slang usage? Fairy Dust and the Santa boosters might seem "random" to some.

Hmmmm. I don't think, considering some of his statements in other threads, that anything other than randomized boosters could be what was referred to. I could be wrong, of course, but that's how it seems.

And yet I have to have them all...ironic, isn't it?
