If you are a fan of backstabbing your friends while defeating monsters and gaining loot, then its likely that you have played Munchkin. While there are plenty of different themes available, it’s not exactly a kid-friendly game. Steve Jackson Games wants to change that though, and they are releasing Munchkin Treasure Hunt exclusively to Toys R Us stores.
Steve Jackson Games and Toys”R”Us have partnered up on a brand new boardgame for kids! The basic idea of the game (fight monsters and steal their stuff) will be familiar to long-time Munchkin players, but no prior knowledge of Munchkin is required to start playing Treasure Hunt.
“Treasure Hunt is a fantastic way to introduce tabletop games to a new generation,” said Andrew Hackard, designer of Munchkin Treasure Hunt. “We’re thrilled to be working with Toys”R”Us so kids across the country can enjoy the game!”
Munchkin Treasure Hunt is a boardgame designed for two to six players, ages 6 and up. Playing time is one hour. For more information, go to munchkin.sjgames.com/treasurehunt.
It sounds like a great way to get younger kids involved with games that have a little more depth while still including some humor. I just hope it can keep the interest of the youngsters for an hour. Still, it sounds promising.

While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV.
