Funny fantasy – Munchkin to get a digital release next year

Fans of Steve Jackson Games’ Munchkin, rejoice! Asmodee Digital and Steve Jackson Games have announced that they will bring the multi-million selling dungeon adventure card game Munchkin to digital platforms sometime next year.

Designed by Steve Jackson and illustrated by John Kovalic, Munchkin is the mega-hit card game about dungeon adventure… minus all that pesky roleplaying business. Friends compete to kill monsters and grab hilarious magic items, like the Horny Helmet, Boots of Butt-Kicking, Staff of Napalm, and Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment. While their opponents are busy giggling, players are free to backstab friends, steal their stuff, grab the treasure and run!

“We are thrilled to partner with Asmodee Digital for the first adaptation of Munchkin to digital platforms. Munchkin has become an evergreen game over the years and we believe the time has come to offer fans around the world a truly innovative experience,” says Phil Reed, CEO of Steve Jackson Games.

The digital adaptation of Munchkin will be released sometime next year. In the meantime, check out Keith’s overview of Steve Jackson Games at Origins 2017, and stay tuned for more news here on Gaming Trend.
