March 19, 2014: Announcing Munchkin Panic!

Munchkin Panic! Coming soon!

Fireside Games is proud to announce the next game release in their expanding line of board games, Munchkin Panic, to hit stores in Fall 2014. Munchkin Panic is a new, semi-cooperative board game designed by Anne-Marie De Witt that blends the all-for-one gameplay of Castle Panic (Justin De Witt, Fireside Games, 2009) and the all-for-me style of Munchkin (Steve Jackson, Steve Jackson Games, 2001). The game supports 1 to 6 players ages 10 and up and will retail for $39.95.

In this new hybrid game the Munchkin Monsters have found the Castle Panic Towers and are on the rampage! Players combine cards to hit and slay the Monsters before they destroy the Castle. The new card combos available in Munchkin Panic are created from a unique mixing of the decks of the two source games. Each defeated Monster becomes a Trophy and gives up its Treasure to the victor. If players work together to defeat the Monsters, the player with the highest point count becomes Master Munchkin. But players must balance their self-interest with the cooperation necessary to survive. If players get too greedy, the Monsters will stomp the Castle flat while the players are too busy fighting!
