Munchkin Vox Machina – A Critical Role Game announced — “It’s Not a Door, It’s a Thing of Evil!”

If you're a fan of Critical Role and Munchkin, then have I got good news for you. No, it's not that Scanlan is wearing pants, it's that the team at Steve Jackson Games (who may or may not be wearing pants) have teamed up with the crew once again to bring the life of Vox Machina to one of their most enduring platforms – Munchkin! Let's kick open the door and loot the room.

Based on the first campaign of the award-winning livestream TTRPG show Critical Role, this card game is packed with the most infamous villains, memorable NPCs, and legendary Treasures that filled Vox Machina's many adventures. In addition to all the classic Munchkin gameplay you love, this set includes a 20-sided die for facing the most critical . . . rolls.

So dive into your own episode of Critical Role, battle against foes like Delilah Briarwood and Thordak, wield Items like Fenthrasand the Titanstone Knuckles, and reach Level 10!

If you think back, the team has teamed up with the Steve Jackson crew back in 2020, and this looks like a solid upgrade.

Vox Machina, Critical Role’s first livestream campaign in 2015, was both award-winning and hugely successful. In Munchkin Vox Machina, players are transported to the fabled realm of Tal’Dorei, where they will take on roles of some of their favorite heroes, including Vex'ahlia and Pike Trickfoot. But heroes aren’t all – the game also includes fearsome villains Delilah Briarwood and Thordak. Before going into battle, players can equip a +2 Bonus Bloodaxe or +1 Bonus The List. One-Shot cards like Grog’s Race can be played against monsters for additional bonuses, and achieving Lore Spotlight will grant the opportunity to go up a level.

In the box, you will find a deluxe gameboard, seven large character cards, 172 Door and Treasure cards, seven character standies, plus a d6 and a d20. Some cards even feature memorable quotes from the RPG campaign. Long-time Munchkin enthusiasts will be excited for the return of cards with the Ally mechanic, called Guest Star in this set, which players can sacrifice for an automatic escape from all monsters in combat without needing to succeed at a run-away roll.

I know you don't technically need the custom cards and standies to play the game, but these are pretty high quality. The team has worked hard to bring this one to life, with all new hand-drawn art inspired by the show.

Best of all, you don't have to wait long for the game – pre-orders will open in early October of this year either at Warehouse23.com, the official online store of Steve Jackson Games, or your favorite local geek shop. After that, it's just a short run to late March / early April 2026 to get it in our hands.
