Munchkin Collectible Card game?!

[Bishop-M]

Moop's Monster Mashup looks outstanding!(Like most of the other games) I am highly anticipating this release :)

I too am a first time poster, yada yada.

I've also been playtesting the CCG here in Austin. Before this, I would have responded very negatively to a CCG. "Nope, not interested in getting started on something like that" would have been my comment. I was hesitant even when starting out on the playtesting, but now, I look forward to going to the location to pick up the CCG, create a deck and play.

Previous to this, I'd played quite a bit of Munchkin, and that was where my interest was. I actually get more enjoyment out of playing the CCG at this point, and can't wait for the public release.

Just listening to the Dice Tower podcast, and I like what they say about thee Munchkin CCG, in that the core sets are to be widely available in mainstream retail, but the boosters are only coming to the hobby market. It's a good way to get new customers to support their FLGSes. Bravo.

SJG has been doing that on a significant level with the expansions and boosters for Munchkin already, so I dont really consider this much of a surprise.

[ThisisDog]

Ah. Over here it's pretty much all hobby market for standard Munchkin, the only games you get in other stores are things like Monopoly and Trivial Pursuit, or kids' board games. So I guess it'll be the same for the CCG.

In the United States, some versions of Munchkin base/deluxe games can be found in Target (a big-box stores) and Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million (large book retailers), but in all but a few very rare cases, expansions are sold only in hobby/game stores. There's an Austin-based national game store chain called Go! Games, and I've seen Munchkin there, but again, no expansions. I don't know if that's by design or chance.

I did actually find a 'Walking Dead Munchkin Zombie' that was on sale at a Books a Million, although it seems to me that's a great sort of expansion to have in a big store to get more eyeballs on it.

I had this idea that they could sell boosters of unique cards. I sent a suggestion to Munchkin in 2015... it's happening!

So much new info about the game since it was revealed. The best source is the new website where you'll find the rules PDF, videos, and starter details.

We ran two draft events today at our retailer event. Hunter launched live stream videos on Facebook to show the game in play.
