Fans of the mega selling Munchkin series from Steve Jackson Games will want to take note SJG is joining forces with Renegade Games Studios to bring Munchkin trading cards to the masses this fall.
From SJG and Renegade:
Renegade Game Studios, has entered into a licensing partnership with Steve Jackson Games to produce Collectible Trading Cards, Dog Tags, and “Treasure Packs” based on the smash hit Munchkin game.
The first release in the line will be Munchkin Trading Cards. This traditional card set will feature a base set, original hand drawn sketch cards, stickers, autograph cards, and unique playtest cards that you can use in your Munchkin games at home.
“We are really excited to be working with the folks at Steve Jackson games on this,” says Renegade President Scott Gaeta. “Munchkin has a phenomenal fan following and we’re honored to be a part of its community.”
”I’ve got an email from over three years ago that outlines a Munchkin trading card project,” says Phil Reed, CEO of Steve Jackson Games. “So seeing Renegade Game Studios tackle this project makes me very happy.”
Look for the Munchkin Trading Cards to hit stores in fall 2015. Boxes will consist of 24 random packs and at least one sketch card or autograph card can be found, on average, in every box. Additional content including special inserts, redemptions, guest artist, and more surprises will be announced in the coming months.
