I was wondering, when FFGs store says:

This 40 card pack introduces 20 new cards to the Call of Cthulhu metagame

does that mean you get 20 cards, 2 of each card, or 40 unique cards and 20 of them are reprints and 20 are brand spanking new to CoC?

Thanks.

Most you get 3 copies of, some 2 of and a couple only 1 of. I can't remember how many of which you get though.

Interesting, TheBigShow, all of the asylum pack's I've purchased have ten new cards at one copy each and ten new cards at three copies each. Note that I do not yet have the sixth pack. Is it organized differently?

Could be, my cards arn't with me at the moment to double check, but I'm sure that I got cards of only 2 copies. I'll have to double check when I get home.

Well I really dislike 10@3 copies and 10@1 copy. If I want 3 copies of those "rares" I'm going to have to get 60 extra cards that I don't need?? Seems highly wasteful to me. I would rather pay $30, get 3x of each new card and like a new set of domains or something to toy with.

What do you guys do with those 60 extra cards?

My bad. I just got home and checked the cards I got, you were correct on the numbers of cards. I shall slink away ashamed...

The only one that annoyed me was the Sledge Dogs. You can have 8 of those in a deck, but only get 3 per pack!!! I bought two packs, and any excess over 4 cards I give away to the newer players if they don't have the disposable cash to keep buying cards.

I also give away my spares to local players with smaller toy budgets than mine.

I give mine away or throw them in a box to rot
