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.

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.
