Hex Effects is back, but uh oh…

Hex Effects is back in stock! We sold out of our initial Kickstarter-backed first run in just a few months — but we’ve got a bunch more in stock that you can buy now.
Let me just open one up and take a look at all this awesome artwork and… wait…
There's something in the rulebook that shouldn't be
Hex Effects includes 10 Disasters cards, 3 Snake Oils, and 2 Jinxes. These are all the action cards that come in the base game. For the Kickstarter edition, as a stretch goal, we included one bonus action card: Deus Hex Machina. This was never meant to be included in future editions.
So when we updated our assets and sent them to the printers, did we remove the description of Deus Hex Machina in the rulebook? Nope. We accidentally printed all new Hex Effects copies with the Kickstarter-edition rulebook.
There is no Deus Hex Machina card in your deck despite what the rulebook says. We are very sorry for the confusion.
Looking on the bright side — if you’ve got one of these copies with the unfortunate errata, consider yourself lucky. For one, all the information you need is still in that rulebook so you’re not missing anything. And two, maybe it’ll be a collector’s object one day — much like our Side Effects magnet box edition.
And if you’re itching to get that Deus Hex Machina bonus card, we can assure you it’ll appear in a future Hex Effects expansion (much like the Side Effects: Booster Shot, available now!).
Haha, that’s actually kind of funny, a little Block Blast misprint turns into an unintentional collector’s edition! Glad to hear the Deus Hex Machina card will return in a future expansion, because it sounds too cool not to have in the game.
The back of the box lists 7 action cards, but this post only mentions 3 Snake Oils and 2 Jinxes. Is that also a misprint, or are there actually 7 action cards in the non-Kickstarter edition?
