Fireside Games Press Release - Munchkin Panic – A Peek Under the Helmet
From the Fireside Games Website
How do you show people a game BEFORE the game is available to be shown? That was our conundrum when trying to come up with a way to share the art and details behind Munchkin Panic when we didn’t have a copy of the game to share yet.
Then, our brilliant Sales & Marketing Manager Kris said, “Why not make a photo book of the art with details about the game design and what makes it different from both Castle Panic and Munchkin?” And we all applauded and then got to work! “Munchkin Panic–A Peek Under the Helmet” was born.

Steve Jackson Games Press Release - Munchkin for Xbox 360 Cancelled
From the Steve Jackson Website
Steve Jackson Games and Tinderbox Entertainment regret to announce the cancellation of the Xbox 360 version of SJ Games' Munchkin card game.
"We came into the Xbox 360 Munchkin project with certain beliefs and expectations about the market," said Munchkin Brand Manager Andrew Hackard. "As we learned more about the digital market, and Xbox in particular, we realized that those expectations were unrealistic for the scope of project we had chosen. Work was far enough along that we would essentially have to start over to incorporate what we learned, and we don't think that's the right answer. We have enjoyed working with and learning from Tinderbox on this project, and wish them nothing but the best."
