Announcing Munchkin Smash Up
AUSTIN, Texas (June 15, 2014) – Steve Jackson Games and Alderac Entertainment Group have partnered to create Munchkin Smash Up. Munchkin Smash Up, a game that combines elements of Alderac's Smash Up and SJ Games' Munchkin series, is due out later this year. Munchkin Smash Up will include:
- New artwork by John Kovalic!
- An exclusive new Munchkin card!
- Game demos and support through Steve Jackson Games' Men in Black!
"Smash Up is one of my favorite games from the past couple of years," said Munchkin Brand Manager Andrew Hackard. "It's already a little silly, and adding Munchkin to the mix just made sense. It's been great working with AEG again on this game."
