January 14, 2018: Preparing For New York Toy Fair

It's almost that time of year again, when I head out to NYC to freeze . . . and for the annual New York Toy Fair! This is the first big trade show of the year, the first show in 2018 where we take our new games into the wild to share with retailers, distributors, and press. This year, our focus is on the upcoming Munchkin Collectible Card Game - which you can preorder today at your favorite local game store or Warehouse 23 - and as part of the festivities, we're running a how-to-play event at the Compleat Strategist on Friday, February 16, at 5 pm. Stop by the store for a close look at the game and to try out one of the six different starter decks!

In addition to the Munchkin Collectible Card Game, we also expect to show a new Munchkin title or two and the new edition of Illuminati. Many of you participated in last year's open Illuminati playtest, and we can now report that the game is progressing nicely and that we're close to seeing the last of the new artwork. We'll show off the new edition in New York next month, and we will update the Illuminati webpage at that time with the new cover and release information.
