Munchkin 7 – More Good Cards

[duskblade]

i love munchkin but at this point i think its getting to be a little much on the fantasy line, its all well and good but i would like to see some more expansions for the others sets like star or bites, still going to get this though

As someone who largely prefers classic Munchkin over the others I see this as nothing but a good thing, but hope there's more than just Blender cards in it from other sets.

Though I always did wonder why the classic game got more expansions than the other ones did. Perhaps lack of theme based humor for said genres?

Or the fantasy genre sells better, much like the game from which classic Munchkin took its inspiration.

Honestly this one looks like an easy way to push another x-pack out the door without impacting development much. Most of the cards seem to be from other sets, such as blender. Slap some new art and the classic card back, and presto "new" expansion.

That said, we can never have enough of "More Good Cards" so I for one will be picking it up right away. ^_^

I wish it was that easy.

• More Wandering Monsters! Awesome. I've always felt that there was a deficit of WM cards.
• More Monster Enhancers! Also awesome. I can see some potential for even more drawn out end games though.
• More Cheats! I can take or leave this. I have enough CWBH from the Rigged Demo, and I've rarely found CLTNT to be extremely useful.
• More Curses! Always welcome.
• More Wishing Rings! This balances out the fact that there are more curses, so it makes sense.
• Plus potions, items, and item enhancers! This is cool.

I think the thing I like best is that it sounds like this will be another expansion that isn't dependent on previous ones (unless some of the items are restricted by race). Heck I might grab two depending on how many of each card are in a set.

Ever since this was mentioned in the latest WWG, I've been curious which cards from other sets will be included. I wonder if some of the other items in this set will be from (or derived from) items in other sets.

Despite all the grumbling, I'm excited for the new expansion.

MunchkinMan: You mentioned that this was driven out of a survey. Can you speak to whether or not this expansion is intended to generate more balance in the game?

I don't feel that the game is currently unbalanced, however I can't help but wonder why SJ would release a new expansion that has a whole bunch of old cards (wandering monsters for example).....unless the existing expansions don't have enough of said cards and game balance was in question.

Just a thought. Would be interested in hearing your take on it.

I don't know the full results of the survey, but it is made clear from the text on the web page that at least some of the survey results drove this expansion.

I have, personally, felt, that a few more Wandering Monster cards would be a good thing. And Curses. And some mid-Level Monsters to use with those WM cards, too. But mostly, the WM cards.

What about the two curse cards that the FAQ says to just throw out, are they replacing those or are you just SOL for those two cards if you own a deck that still has them?

I assume you mean the ones that were reprinted and released with Marked For Death, and will, I think, be coming out in the Monster Enhancers booster this February.
