October 18, 2016: Munchkin Sketch Edition: The Ultimate Mixable Set

We've been talking about mixing up your Munchkin sets here on the Daily Illuminator, and making suggestions about which sets to combine. But if you're a creative type who wants to fully customize your melded menagerie, you want Munchkin Sketch Edition.

To make this game, we took all the cards from original Munchkin and removed the art, leaving you a blank canvas to make a masterpiece. So if you've got sick art skills, use 'em.

And if you don't? That's when things get truly glorious. Because there's nothing quite like enthusiastically drawn Munchkin stick figures. Go buy Munchkin Sketch and make some now, and you'll see what we mean. We'll wait.

Great. Now that you're initiated into the ways of the DIY Munchkin Sketch Edition, we can make some suggestions.  

If you're a fan of Munchkin Oz (or its Guest Artist Edition), and you want to add the classic cards, Sketch Edition is a perfect way to make them Oz-themed for your game! Make your Boots of Butt-Kicking a set of silver slippers, or throw some wings on the Net Troll to make it a minion of the Wicked Witch!

(Pro-tip: The Net Troll is particularly convenient to draw because it's pretty much an egg shape with a face.)

And why stop with Oz? Munchkin Grimm Tidings, recently released at Walgreens, is just begging to be mixed with other sets. We've mentioned how well it combines with Munchkin Legends Guest Artist Edition and Oz, and Munchkin Sketch Edition makes a trifecta. The original cards already sport the fairy-tale theme. Maybe the Plutonium Dragon is keeping a princess captive, or perhaps your Duck of Doom yearns to be a swan (which, for sketching purposes, we will call "a duck with a longer neck") . . . The choice is yours!

Munchkin Sketch Edition is available exclusively through Warehouse 23. Pick up a copy today to create your dream Munchkin mash-up!
