A beast of an undertaking: Munchkin . Throughout the years, the constant has always been Munchkin  – while my design handiwork is at the forefront of a few versions (lookin' at you Munchkin CCG , Munchkin Wonderland , and Munchkin Spell Skool!) – this game has permeated my day-to-day tasks over the years. With good reason, too. It's a fan favorite, and the subject matter of its pun-fueled jokes can expand to just about any corner of the imagination. Now, my next statement is one that I hope you hold tight to your torches and sheathe your pitchforks for: I had never heard of Munchkin prior to working here! Soon after joining the team, I found out just how popular the game was, and I could instantly see the spark in a fan's eyes when I'd talk about the brand and the info I could share about upcoming titles. We constantly have projects in the works for Munchkin because it's important to us, too. As already announced, our newest version,  Munchkin   Second Edition is one that we had wrestled with internally for quite some time. I'll remind Steve and others of this post that we now think of fondly; it's one of those reminders of why the old saying "never say never" exists. Steve put in countless hours to make  Second Edition  a game that the fans of the first edition would still enjoy – while also making it easier for new players to join in on the fun. Upon my very first playtest of Second Edition , it made me very happy to know that now casual gamers (like me) can be introduced to Munchkin  and immediately start playing without needing any prior introduction or the first edition of the game. I hope fans of the original Munchkin give this new edition a try   – it's absolutely compatible with their well-loved sets. (There will be a one-page upgrade guide available on the landing page soon, along with the  Second Edition  rules to convert your original edition cards to  Second Edition  playability.  You will be seeing a lot more promotion of Second Edition in the coming months, and hopefully you are able to play it at an upcoming convention! Some early, not finalized, hand-made playtest sets have already crept into the wild, and they've gotten positive feedback from fans. The team put in a ton of work to bring this new edition to life, and we all hope you love it as much as we do.
