Hello everyone! 

We’re coming down to the end of the campaign, with less than 5 hours remaining. However, the campaign may not end at exactly 8pm! Thanks to the Backer Train, each new pledge will extend the duration of the campaign by 10 minutes. How long will the train go on? An hour? Two? Into the next day? Either way, we’ll be here for it, and it’s not like Year of the Munchkin just ends when the campaign for Second Edition does! 

We’ve seen a number of questions and general feedback come in following the Big Box Upgrade Set availability change. The Big Box Upgrade Set was always intended for backers of the Munchkin Big Box campaign to add even more value to their Big Box. We don’t regret making these available, but we knew we couldn’t ensure only Big Box backers selected it, since munchkins sometimes like to just loot the room. We were at risk of having more orders of copies we’d produced if we didn’t enact a limit. 

We also received feedback from those that didn’t necessarily own a Big Box, but did have their own cherished collections of the original edition of Munchkin. We want you to know that we’re listening and talking about this internally, and we’re looking into what we can do for people still interested in a physical upgrade kit. Unfortunately, this idea won’t materialize during this campaign, but we will share more details as we have them. In the meantime, the Upgrade Rules are free for everyone and available now. 

One of our goals for Munchkin Second Edition is to fulfill the campaign and have copies available at Gen Con 2026. Coupled with the tighter timing required when planning around Chinese New Year, that meant we held ourselves to a strict manufacturing schedule. The process started in December 2025 and has been ongoing. Things that were not "possible upgrades with stretch goals" were sent to print asap. This staged approach to the manufacturing process has helped us keep our goals in sight.

Just sculpted and added to the free Dice Tower files (this is not a goal, this is a freebie): Flower, with the Unnatural Axe! Now you have your choice of Munchkins for the tower . . . or, you know, do two towers! The manic expression on Flower's face is partially due to the camera angle and the texture of the 3D print, and partially due to the fact that SHE IS NUTS.

We are also including supported files for small (pawn-sized) versions of both Spyke and Flower, but those aren't printed yet, so you don't get a picture.

A number of requests came through the campaign and the official SJG Discord server to mark the starred cards for the game setup. We’re happy to say that we’ve made some updates to the Card List, and now Star Cards are marked with an (*). Head over to the Munchkin Second Edition game page and find the Card List under Resources. 

Thank you!
