Boom Chaka Laka is a 91-card booster-only expansion set released by Z-Man Games in July 2002.
It's a 91-card set that contains 88 new cards, with rarities divided into Common, Uncommon, and Rare. The other 3 cards are reprints of Daedalus-edition cards such as Napalm Sunrise.
There are no errata cards appearing in this set. All cards are black-bordered with a pair of nunchuku in the upper right corner.
The symbols are color-coded according to rarity: white for rare, grey for uncommon, and black for common.
Set Comments
Booster wrappers are waxy paper like Dark Future, except printed in full color. Distribution is very good, with a box typically
yielding no duplicate rares, although overlap between two different boxes is another story. But it's much more likely that you'll
get a set out of two boxes than with the three previous sets, partly because of the improved distribution and partly because the set is smaller.
There is no secret message on either the packs or the box.
This set introduced some new twists on old mechanics, like Superfreak's 1/2 Ambush, and new stuff as well, like John Tower/Big Daddy Voodoo's pay-damage-as-power trick.
We Got The Funk has to win an award for most convoluted wording to create an effect that should have been easy to describe but turned out it wasn't really (edging out Eagle Mountain).
Thank-you to Stephan Vincent for providing some information for this page.
The Death Ring is set in the art template for a Feng Shui Site, rather than a regular old Site. (Starting with Year of the Dragon, the regular Sites have been in a slightly different art template than the Feng Shui Sites).
