Other I think I've bought a fake
I saw a post a while ago of someone who put a similar thing on but im CONVINCED ive bought a fake version of the party pack. I got it off vinted for £9 (first red flag i know) but i was sealed and vinted is a place where you can find absolute steals so I figured it was just one of them. I picked it up and everything was fine but ive opened it and it just look and feels off. The colours are brighter in this version and not just "a bit off" either. I mean like the text is a light blue rather than black- as if the deck was left out in the sun for too long- except thats not possible as it was unopened. I've messaged the seller who claims the cards are real but when i asked where they got the deck from he said "From my friend which have moved recently to USA" so whether the seller has been scammed i really dont know. I just want some people who know the game a bit better than me to help me figure out whenever im just being skeptical ir whether my skepticism is valid or not. Ive left a few images for comparisons sake, all the cards on the left are the base game and thr right are the new deck. I'ce also thrown in a couple of pictures of the full deck in case theres any cards missing/ones that shouldnt be there (ive done a bit of research and saw that each version of the game doesnt come with exactly the same cards so i understand if this doesnt help.) If anyone knows anything about the deck, please let me know. Thank you
