We were innocents wandering Gen Con’s Exhibit Hall when we were asked by a young lady if we would like to learn Munchkin’s Collectible Card Game. We said “sure”.
Twenty minutes later I am buying the Munchkin CCG’s Desolation of Blarg display box. This box contains 24 12-card booster packs. What the heck? Did she hipnotize us? Well...the game was that fun!
In full disclosure...my family loves Munchkins. We have box upon box of their games.
Now I am at home opening the display box like a little boy on Christmas Eve. When, what to my wondering eyes should appear but an extra bonus card: the Flamingo Wanderer! So instead of the anticipated 288 cards there are 289!
The cards are of high quality with fun art.
The card types are: Ally, Loot, Hero, Mischief, Location and Monster. The Factions are: Neutral, Bard, Thief, Wizard, Warrior, Cleric and Ranger.
I dumped out all 24 booster packs and grabbed a pair of scissors and started opening them. Just lots of fun.
Soon I had piles of discarded wrapping and stacks of cards.
Being a geek, I started sorting and counting the cards. Here is what was in the display box sorted by Rarity:
141 Common
71 Uncommon
50 Rare
24 Very Rare
2 We Destroyed Most of These
1 Organized Play
289 Total
Munchkin’s has a great website for their CCG. Try the Card Search feature which allows you to search all of the cards. http://munchkinccg.game/gameplay/card-search/
The cards have the Munchkin art and humor that we have all come to love.
Now for some deck building!!
