September 18, 2017: Munchkin Musings: September 2017

"There's no place like home."

August was a very busy month for me; I had three conventions (Board Game Bash, Gen Con, and Fan Expo Canada) and was a guest at the Austin regional for the Unrivaled tournament series. I'm not complaining about getting to go to all these great shows, but it's going to be a real relief to stay home for several weeks and not have to think about anything other than writing Munchkin cards. (I have a lot of them to write . . . 2018 is going to be a great year!)

Here are a few bits of news that you may have missed:

• Munchkin: Rick and Morty is on its way to game stores . . . in fact, it may already be on shelves by the time you read this. Go pick it up, Morty, and quit being a little wuss!
• The Munchkin Shakespeare Kickstarter rewards are already on their way to backers! Thanks to the folks at Flat River for getting these out so fast that our head is still spinning a little.
• We announced Munchkin Magical Mess for release in January 2018. Moop's back and he hasn't learned anything from his Monster Mashup mishaps!
• We also announced the initial release date for the Munchkin Collectible Card Game. The two-player starters and the first wave of boosters will be in stores in February 2018, with two booster-only expansions in May and August. Watch for more announcements to come!

There's a lot of Munchkin news yet to be announced this year, so keep watching the Daily Illuminator for my monthly Munchkin madness and up-to-the-minute news every day.
