Munchkin, the hit card game of killing the monsters and taking their stuff, is getting a new look. Starting with the 19th printing, all the John Kovalic illustrations in the fantasy Munchkin game will be in full color. Reprints of the fantasy supplements, also with colored art, are scheduled throughout the rest of 2010, starting with Munchkin 2 – Unnatural Axe and Munchkin 3 – Clerical Errors, both in June. Several other reprints, including Munchkin Bites! and Super Munchkin, are also at print.

“We’ve had nine years of feedback from Munchkin players about what they do and don’t like about the game,” said Brand Manager Andrew Hackard. “We tweaked a few things here and there to make the game smoother and more fun. It’s not a new edition, but it’s not the same old Munchkin, either.”

The 19th printing of Munchkin begins shipping May 24, 2010.
