Limited
vs. Unlimited Printing
New
players
are often frustrated when in comes to understanding the difference
between the limited edition and the unlimited edition. Afterall,
they are both referred to as the original set. I have done my
best to clear up the confusion.
Identifying
differences between Limited from Unlimited
Collectable
playing card games are originally released in what is called a
limited printing. Only a certain number of cards are printed to
see if the game will become popular. If the game catches on, the
manufacturer then reprints original series. The second printing
is called the unlimited printing. Cactus Game Design has released
both the limited printing (17 million cards printed) and an unlimited
printing (10 million cards printed) of the original set.
