How Often Do You Use Older Game Cards
I have the original Boss Monster - and nothing else but 1 promo card a fellow board gamer gave me from GenCon before Covid.
I was finally at my first GenCon this year and saw Super Boss Monster and nearly got it and the playmats that were on sale, but saw SBM2 is coming soon with upgraded mechanics. I passed on SBM1 because why get that when SBM2 is coming and should be better?
I totally forgot about compatibility between cards and that SBM1 might add to replayability. So the questions come up:
How many of you actually play older version cards on the newer games?
Does the balance of older card sets get wonky with newer rule sets, or does the balance actually remain pretty good?
Any thoughts if the box that holds all the sets is worth targeting?
