Munchkin 6 "color" card backs

zihuatanejo · 02-14-2011, 01:20 PM

Just picked up Munchkin 6 (3rd printing, Aug 2010). Already have Munchkin (20th printing, Aug 2010) & Munchkin 2,3 (May 2010). I believe these are all the latest available printings, but Munchkin 6 has a different color card back (brown vs tan). Is this normal?

I've done a search on the forums already but have not found info on this subject.

Which cards? There are the Portals, which are all Door cards and should be have the lighter back, and then there are Dungeons, which are a completely separate entity whose back color I can't remember at the moment.

Sorry, I was referring to the portal/door cards. So they are supposed to be different from the door cards from other sets?

My M6:DD portals blend with the rest of my set fine. There are some discrepancies from set to set on the front of the cards, true, but the backs all look the same.

That is to say, this is not a universal problem with the set. Perhaps you have some sort of misprint.

All Munchkin Door cards should have identical backs.

Here is a scan backs of the four sets I have:

I've actually noticed some minor color variations in the backs between sets. Never really cared much about it, though - it's not like knowing which set the card is from (assuming you've memorized the colors, even) gives you much of an advantage (if any).
