misprinted card munchkin bites question

thedag · 02-03-2011, 03:43 PM

I just got munchkin bites (May 2010 printing) and on the Curse! Powers Change card a few letters are not properly printed. Is this the same for other people or is a defect and I should seek to get a new copy of the card/game.

If the answer is that I should send it in (like cards that curled at edges in WFS) does the replacement still available if I live in Australia?

It's a misprint throughout the print run. Looks like some art jumped in front of the text. I hate when that happens.

I thought that might be the case. Thanks for the quick response

I am wondering will you guys ever offer a small pack with all the fixes for a small fee, or perhaps do something similar to what you did with the curly wfs/fd?

The card is legible, just ugly, so I don't see us offering a replacement (it's really inconvenient to order print runs of a single card). The Fairy Dust/Waiting for Santa situation was with an entire print run, every card, so that isn't comparable.

I just checked the new printing (6th printing -- because last year's printing sold out WAY faster than we expected!) and the problem is still there. Argh. We've made the note for the 7th printing . . . which, the way things are going, might be before the end of the year.

We'll also get the correct card text posted on the errata page for Bites!, so you'll at least know for sure what the card says.

Thanks for calling our attention to this error.
