March 15, 2010: Miscellany

Thanks to everyone who came to the Open House last Saturday evening – it was great to meet y'all!

We just topped 2,000 sales of the iPhone Level Counter for Munchkin and Munchkin Quest. If you have an iPhone or iPod touch and you haven't downloaded this, you aren't as big a munchkin as you think you are. Seriously -- it has in-game bonuses, people! And they get better the longer you wait to claim them. If you play Epic Munchkin, we've got you covered. And now it's got a built-in Kill-O-Meter, for those times when you get separated from your physical Kill-O-Meter and need to scratch that monster-killin' itch.

Should I mention our next Chibithulhu? Probably not. But you can see pictures of all the ones we have announced at www.chibithulhu.com . . .

Hey, look, we're on Facebook! There's a page for Steve Jackson Games and one just for Munchkin!

We've pretty much locked down the 2010 release schedule (barring typhoons over the Pacific, earthquakes in California, and Manhattan-sized asteroids hitting anywhere they like), and we're thinking about 2011. (Which, for you latecomers, includes Munchkin's 10th birthday – holy Cthulhu.) If you've got great ideas, why not head over to the Munchkin forum and let us know what we should be doing?

Finally, it's the Ides of March! SPECIAL BONUS MUNCHKIN RULE, today only: EVERYONE can backstab their buddies!! Discard one card to give someone else -2 in combat. If you're a Thief, your backstab is worth -5!

Thanks for all your support – we very literally couldn't do it without you.

March 1, 2010: Munchkin 2010 Silver Piece Rule For March 2010

Note: This rule only applies to the 2010 Munchkin Silver Piece. If you are using the 2008 or 2009 coins, check the archive page for the appropriate rules from those years.

During any one combat in any game of Munchkin or its sequels, including Munchkin Quest, you may choose any non-one-shot Item you have in play, even one you cannot otherwise use, and flip the 2010 Munchkin Silver Piece. On heads (the Munchkin), you may double the combat bonus of the Item, but you must discard the Item when the combat is over. On tails (the Chibithulhu), the Item's bonus becomes a penalty for that fight only. You do not have to discard the Item in that case.

Remember that you can only use one Munchkin coin per game of Munchkin or Munchkin Quest, even if you have several coins available.
