This doesn't look like the original just from seeing the 'Chance' and 'Community Chest' cards. Can anyone who has played the 'original' answer please?

Well i will say it is the version they say it is. it just isnt the one in the picture. cover art is different you get all the old tokens and uncles money bag the cards are like the old ones if that answers your question and the board is not the regular bifold its like in quaters. but still same monopoly fun and its great if u need replacement parts for an older 80's/90's version.

Yes, that's right. You can obviously see when these cards come up in the pile (different branding/same colours) and I was worried about people being baised when they spotted them. But it's work fine, although I have bought all expansion packs and so diluted these quite a bit. I found it best not to mention that they are even in there, unless people bring them up.

We have played it several times w/friends and family. So far one of my son's has said he had remembered an answer. There are plenty of cards, but I can see if you play it often with the same people you can have that issue.

the one I purchased was original. BUT it was missing most of it's original suspects & weapons. we've actually purchase 2 original boxes to try to make 1 full game.

You don't necessarily have to by the original, but it doesn't make much sense because the amount of cards you get in the expansion is very small compared to the core game. Also, like others have said, its nice to have the instructions. If you can't buy them all, I know in the past they have provided the ability to print the cards for free. I think its worth buying them to support the company, but also the quality of the cards would be much worse if you printed them off.

The cards in the pack may be different. I've gotten three of these collections and only one of them was much different than the other two.

From my understand the original was only cards. This comes with a bored and player peices. Male and female.

Only about 5-7% of these cards are playable in standard. However, they aren't all that great. These are bottom of the barrel commons. I would suggest buying a booster box repack if that's your goal, and money is a concern.

Different, only the promo cards are the same. The cards from the packs are different.

Hi, according to my son, the cards are exactly the same as Munchkin 1 (original) the only bonus to this set is that you have a board to move your pieces on so you don't have to use other items to try to remember which level you are on. If you already have the original, you would probably not want to get this.Hope that helps.

Its just a bunch of different cards slapped in a stack of 100, if you get a rare, its luck. More then 2 or 3 you are very lucky. Hope this helped...

I had 360 unique cards in my pack. Duplicates were pretty uneven, got 43 of the same card, 37 of another, and few others in the high 20s. I ended up with about 215 cards that were duplicates beyond the 4th (generally useless unless you are too lazy to swap out cards to another deck when needed). Whether or not the cards were being hand sorted to have a max of 4 duplicates in the past or not doesn't matter, it appears that its not the case now.

True. I just bought the Death Angel card game last week and paid $180 to buy Space Hulk (3rd edition). $300 is too much for any bored game. You can still find the 3rd edition on ebay if you still want it. Also, I've heard that Level 7 Protocol is like Space Hulk but improved. I haven't read any reviews absent of nostalgia for Space Hulk, so I'm not sure what to expect not having grown up with it. Have you managed to find a copy? If so, what do you think of it?

The cards are the exact same size, shape and texture as the official CAH deck. The back of the cards say "Crabs..." so, with a keen eye for detail, you would be able to spot them, but I cant think of a reason why that would be helpful in gameplay

I believe they are all unique. Opened 1 of the 2 packs (each has 50) played a cover all game and only had 1 winner. The only thing I can think of, if you have more than the 100 card set there may be an issue of duplicates. I think they are a great card set, I'm sure they will be around for a long time. Hope that helps

To be honest I would grab a full set of conquest of you can and if not go for the quest. Conquest seems to be printed more than quest. Quest is larger but conquest has some cool new cards and ideas that aren't involved in quest. Like senators and metals and other things. It makes the game a little bit more group play than one person at a time. That's what I would do

Hi, I'm the designer of the game. I was concerned about all the rumors here, so I checked with the publisher. She told me that 5000 copies of the game had been sent to distributors during Q4, but some of the larger distributors may have sold out theirs already due to the Tabletop coverage. There are more on the way, though, and I suspect that some of the smaller places and local stores may still have copies available, so you shouldn't need to start scavenging quite yet!
