January 28, 2010: An Important Message about the Following Important Message

If you purchased one of the Fairy Dust or Waiting for Santa expansions before we got our recall out, you'll want to pay particular attention to the Announcements section below this news. We now have a replacement system set up to get all you loyal early adopters some slightly less curl-prone cards. The details are below, but the gist of it is as follows.

You send us a little bit of the cards and we send you back some non-foil versions of the cards along with a few promo items. We expect to have the reprints in around the end of March. You can go ahead and send in your card tops now if you wish, and we will hold on to them. Just please be aware that we cannot send you replacements until we get the new print run in.

But that's enough out of me. Continue downward and Paul will fill you in on all the important details.

Announcements

Last fall, we released two 15-card boosters for Munchkin: Fairy Dust and Waiting for Santa. We printed the cards with foil, which was definitely shiny but caused many of the cards to curl unacceptably. We recalled those sets as soon as we realized the problem was real . . . but a lot made it through to retail, and we know that some stores kept selling them even after we'd made the announcement and refunded the retailers' payments.

If you bought either of these sets from your local retailer, we encourage you to to return it to them for a refund or exchange. We have already refunded everything the distributors and retailers paid for these two sets, so we hope they will be happy to refund/exchange for you. If that doesn't work for you, OR if you got the Waiting for Santa booster as part of the Munchkin Holiday Edition, you may exchange the curly foil set for the new printing of the same set (not foiled, not curly) with us, via Warehouse 23.

Step 1: Cut the tops from each card in the pack. The top half inch (1.3cm) or so — enough to get the title of the card — is perfect.

Step 2: Mail the tops and your mailing address (don't assume we'll be able to read the return address on the envelope by the time it gets to us) to Warehouse 23.

Step 3: We'll mail out a replacement booster set as soon as we get the new printing (probably late March) via USPS. We'll throw in some Munchkin promo items, just to say "thank you."

Munchkin - T-Shirt, Medium

It's not just a fashion statement -- it's part of the game! The official Munchkin shirt gives special powers to its wearer during a game of looting, pillaging, and backstabbing.

Official Tournament Rules:

  1. If you are wearing an official Munchkin shirt*, you may draw one extra card from either deck when you start play and when you come back from the dead.
  2. Your game character is male, even if you are not. Yes, this means that removing or changing shirts can change your sex. (It will not, however, remove the combat penalty for a "Change Sex" curse.)
  3. The autograph of either Steve Jackson or John Kovalic on the shirt gives you the additional power to ignore the Kneepads of Allure once per game. With both autographs, of course, you can do it twice.
  4. Wearing two Munchkin shirts at the same time does NOT give another extra card, does NOT let you have both sexes at once, and does NOT let you use more than two autographs.
  5. Use of the Cheat card with two different shirts overrides Rule 4. (It doesn't matter which shirt is on the outside.)
  6. But under no circumstances is there any bonus for MORE than two shirts.

It is NOT an official tournament rule, but if you wish to make a house rule that a "Lose Your Armor" card requires you to remove your shirt(s), we cannot stop you.

*On your torso. Right side out.

Also available in: Small, Large, XL, XXL, and XXXL.
