Enormous Update! Fulfillment, Exclusive Annoucement, and Shirts!
Hello everyone!
This is a BIG update, and we have a lot to talk about. While we’ve been quiet, we’ve been working hard, and a few major updates came together at the same time. In this update, you’ll hear about the current status of locking orders and fulfillment news on your pledge. We will share a pair of t-shirt designs we are putting up for pre-order on Warehouse 23, and you will also read an exclusive announcement about the first expansion for Munchkin Second Edition!
Buckle up, this update is a doozy!
Locking Addresses
We’ve been quietly shuffling inventory to prepare for fulfillment, and we’re at the point where we need to lock addresses so that we can provide the appropriate details to other teams we are working with. Shortly after this update is posted, we will take the necessary steps to lock down backer addresses. The BackerKit automated system will alert you via email when this process begins, and you will have 48 hours to make any necessary updates to your address. After that, further changes must be made by contacting us directly via our help page.
Once addresses have been locked down, we will provide this list to our shipping teams, so please make the necessary changes as soon as you can.
Fulfillment Update
Fulfillment for campaigns of this size is time-consuming to organize and prepare. We’re happy to have the help of multiple partners around the world! Stock for our international partners will arrive at intervals over the next few weeks, while our US inventory will soon begin staging for fulfillment.
United States
Fulfillment for backers receiving the Munchkin Second Edition/Big Box Upgrade Set will be processed by our team in Georgia, while backers who selected add-ons will have those items shipped by our team from Warehouse 23 in Austin. We expect to complete shipping of items without add-ons by mid-July.
Canada
For our friends to the north, the necessary inventory is being prepared by our teams in Georgia and will begin transit very soon. Orders will be shipped from our partner facility outside of Toronto. You should expect to receive an email from them to confirm necessary details before your pledge ships.
United Kingdom & European Union
We will be working closely with the GamesQuest team to handle fulfillment for these countries. Inventory is currently being moved towards their warehouses, and you can also expect to receive an email to confirm necessary details to ship your pledge.
Australia & New Zealand
We are excited to be working with a fulfillment partner for the first time to help expedite shipping into this region. Our friends at Let’s Play Games will be working closely with us to deliver your pledge! Be on the lookout for more information about this in a future update.
Rest of World
Finally, we have about ~150 backers that do not fall under any of the regions listed above. These orders will be packed and shipped by our team at Warehouse 23 in Austin. To expedite shipping, please make sure you confirm your address in BackerKit during the upcoming confirmation process.
We’re really excited to start getting Munchkin Second Edition and the Big BoxUpgrade Set into your hands. We expect this process to unfold over the next 90-days until we reach complete fulfillment. As always, we will keep you posted on important developments through campaign updates, and pinned comments.
An Exclusive Announcement!
We have big news about our first expansion, and it definitely goes “Quack!” in the night. That’s right, Munchkin: Duck of Many Things will be coming soon to your gaming table with all-new cards, returning favorites, and powerful Item enhancers.
Like Second Edition, Munchkin: Duck of ManyThings comes with 150 cards to add to the fun. You’ll be able to play as an Orc Ranger while you Visit the Garage Sale or the Dungeon Casino. Pick up the infamous Unnatural Axe and destroy the Snot Elemental to take its stuff! This expansion also includes Item Enhancers, so you can make a Foot-Mounted Mace . . . Of Doom!
Munchkin: Duck of ManyThings will be available at your local game stores and online retailers later this year, ready in time for the holidays!
We'll have more details to share as we get closer to release!
T-Shirt(s)!
It’s time to deck out your torso with some Munchkin 25th Anniversary swag! For a limited time, we will be taking pre-orders for these two commemorative designs for delivery following Gen Con 2026. We’ll be printing these locally here in Austin and using 100% ringspun cotton. Did I mention Steve wrote a rule for these?
Click an image below to head to the Warehouse 23 page for that design.

Whew, like I said that was a big update! We’re really excited to share all of this news with you, and we will continue to share important updates as we have them. If you have any questions please leave a comment below or visit our help page for additional assistance.
A quick update, as we've now passed the date to lock down orders and charge cards for add-ons, shipping, and taxes. Orders are currently being locked, which takes a bit of time. Following that, I will perform a manual audit to identify any outliers before moving forward. Backers will then receive an automated email that provides them with a 48-hour notice of billing. If you need to make any changes to the credit card you provided when completing your survey, this is the time. You can safely ignore the notice otherwise.
Orders that complete the process will then automatically receive the STL files for the Dice Tower and Coins. These files will be available in the digital downloads section in BackerKit.
Skin Codes for Munchkin Digital, along with game key codes for those who selected the Munchkin Digital Steam Key, will be available at a later date, as those require some additional coordination with Dire Wolf. You will receive an email from BackerKit when these codes are ready.
Fulfillment is also on the horizon, and with orders locked down, we can continue to move the necessary pieces forward! We will share more details soon.
Last Call for late pledges! Late pledges for Munchkin Second Edition will end on May 11th.
Please leave questions below or visit our help page.
We hope you’re having a great week! We’re all wrapped up here with building out the pledge manager, and we really appreciate your patience. A few hundred intrepid backers have already been invited and completed their surveys, and emails are actively being sent to invite you to complete yours. If you just can’t wait, click here!
Pledge Manager Timeline
Here is the current projected timeline for the remaining key dates:
Pledge Manager Opens: 4/14/26
Pledge Manager Orders Locked: 5/4/26
Pledge Manager Orders Charged: 5/4/26
Late Pledging and Pledge Upgrades End: 5/4/26
The above dates are only estimates and they may require updates based on need.
Upgrading Your Pledge & Late Pledging
$1 Backers can still upgrade to the $40 Munchkin Second Edition pledge through 5/4/26. Need a quick refresher on how to upgrade your pledge? Click here to read the BackerKit “Help” article.
We’ll close up late pledging the same day we lock pledges, on May 4, 2026. Get your late pledge in for Munchkin Second Edition, which includes all of the additional bonuses that were unlocked during the campaign.
Along with the ability to snag additional copies of Munchkin Second Edition, as well as Munchkin Digital to show off your new player skins, we also added a number of RPG PDFs and a selection of our other great games like Gelatinous, Zombie Dice, and Purrfect Potions! Add-on selection will vary by region and will be shipped separately from the items available in the $20, $40, and $60 pledge levels.
A Sneak Peek
What’s next for Munchkin Second Edition? Well, let’s just say a picture is worth a thousand words . . .
Card not yet finalized.
Something is happening at the Red Dragon Inn . . .

As always, if you have any questions or see something weird like abnormally high shipping costs beyond pricing in the shipping table, please leave a comment below or visit our help page for additional assistance.
Just wanted to pop in with a small video of the new shiny Gold Pieces. Got to see them in person a few days ago, and they are absolute stunners. We can't wait to get these in your hands, but until then check out the video below to see just how shiny they are!
We're still working on getting the pledge manager ready and will be back with an update as soon as everything is finalized.
Everyone here including Steve, John, Will, and the rest of the staff want to give a big thank you to everyone that came out to support Munchkin Second Edition and the 25th Anniversary!
Over the next few weeks, the team here will begin work on the pledge manager, which we are looking to make available sometime in March. Keep an eye out here on the campaign for a future update for the pledge manager invites, along with other Munchkin related announcements.
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!
Big Box Upgrade Set
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.
Print Logistics & Timing
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.
Tower of Flower!
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.
Munchkin Second Edition Card List Updated!
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.
Munchkin Second Edition is filled with updates, tweaks, and new additions. Vote below on the change that has you itching to Kick Down the Door to Second Edition!
I'm a huge fan of Munchkin games since i was a kids. So i was very excited when it came to this campaign, a new release of Munchkin i could'nt let it pass !
But now i'm starting regretting my purchase, as i just saw that my local game store is already taking preorder for Munchkin 2, and the price is cheaper then what i paid here, and i'm not even speaking about shipping fee which make it even worst. Yeah we got STL file for a dice tower ... if only i had a 3D printer ... But not !
Only benefit i see is that they should be sending game in July, and my local game store are releasing them for august. So in the end i would have paid the game 29$ USD more (including shipping) then what i would pay in my local game store. I wish i could cancel my pledge and get full refund so i could get to my local game store for cheaper ...

The dice tower is cool and I want to print it, I wish it was pre-colored with some defaults, would make it easy to just print or customize, otherwise need to "paint" it manually which I'm not sure I'm up to. I'm not sure the licensing on this, but I'm guessing if someone colors it, it wouldn't be allowed on the big 3D model sites?
