Ah ... that makes sense. So, the new sheets are 8 cards per sheet? So, that would preclude being able to include the new cards in the expansion as well as in the new version of Chrononauts. Hmm. Aren't you a money hungry organization wanting to rape our wallets and steal our money? Make two expansions: The Gore Years and The Complete Gore Years. Obviously, the Complete Gore Years would include the extra new cards. :) Ken -----Original Message----- From: chrononauts-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:chrononauts-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andy Looney Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 2009 11:01 AM To: Chrononauts Discussion List Subject: Re: [Chrononauts] Chrononauts Digest, Vol 32, Issue 1 We were compelled to add cards due to a change in our production methods. We switched printers, and the new company arranges the cards on the card sheets differently. This in turn caused us to move from 136 cards to 140 cards in the set, and I couldn't resist using the extra slots to fill in a couple of long-standing little gaps. -- Andy --On October 6, 2009 10:48:07 AM -0500 Ken Livingston <undrhil@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Wouldn’t it make more sense to include any changed cards in the > expansion pack?
