October 31, 2024: Munchkin Roundup 2024!

This year we released not one, not two, but six new Munchkin sets! The best part? We really do mean new – as in, every single card is all-new – never before seen in any previous game! Here's a round-up of the five expansions, which shuffle easily into any fantasy-backed Munchkin deck, and one stand-alone game you'll definitely want to add to your collection:

 

Munchkin Dead & Deader includes 56 cards themed to ghosts and paranormal activity, because, as we all know, ghouls just want to have fun! Favorite monster: Level 16 Bleed, who is +15 against vampires.

 

Golems abound in Munchkin: Taken for Granite, which feature 56 cards that totally rock! (Sorry, not sorry.) Favorite combat card: Hard as a Rock, which gives +10 to any monster.

 

Slither on over to Warehouse 23 or your FLGS to grab Munchkin Snakes. This tuckbox is filled with 30 cards' worth of hiss-terical puns. Favorite armor: +2 Bonus Giant Snake Skin. 

 

Join the rat race with Munchkin Rats! Thirty cards make this expansion a true mouse-terpiece. Favorite rodent: Level 8 Pie Rat.

 

Munchkin Pony Excess will have you ready to stirrup some trouble. With 56 equine-themed cards, you can horse around with your best friends. Favorite steed: +2 Bonus Centaur of Attention. 

 

Get ready to battle your opponents (for the Emperor!) in Munchkin Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Dire Domains. Included in the tuckbox of 36 cards are 20 Dungeons that will take you on a tour of the Mortal Realms, including Lyria and Azyrheim.

 

Of all the Munchkin releases this year, our very favorite is the stand-alone Munchkin Shadowrun. For the first time ever, Munchkin enters the cyberpunk-themed future of Shadowrun. In collaboration with Catalyst Game Labs, this game introduces Matrix cards, which give players a whole new way to win the game! Are you ready to 'Run, chummer? Favorite one-hand item: +3 Bonus Defiance T-250.
