Latest Updates from Our Project:

Goblins In Spaaaaaace and The Swarm!
over 6 years ago – Thu, Nov 02, 2017 at 01:03:32 AM

The last 20 hours of the campaign are upon us! Thanks to your amazing support, we've unlocked tons of extras, like the Credsticks and Blank Card Pack. Additionally, we're only a few shares away on our Facebook post to unlocking a bonus digital Christmas card! But if you thought we were out of surprises, you must not know us very well. We've got two huge announcements for our last push that adds even more value to the "I Want It All" box!

Need more goblins? We've got you covered! We are adding a new 15-card mini-expansion to the I Want It All box. Add these Space Goblins to your Munchkin Starfinder set by itself, or mix them with Munchkin Pathfinder for a worlds-spanning adventure! This expansion will not be available separately.

Watch out! The Swarm is approaching . . . as our final stretch goal! At the $75K level, we will add 15 Swarm-related cards to the I Want It All! box. The Swarm aliens are the main foe of the heroes in the Starfinder RPG and we're looking forward to presenting our take on these implacable enemies.

Let's finish strong, and send this campaign into the stratosphere!

Munchkin Starfinder Card Back Announcement!
over 6 years ago – Tue, Oct 31, 2017 at 06:35:21 PM

We’ve heard your feedback on the Starfinder unique card backs, and after much discussion, are able to announce that Munchkin Starfinder will now be on Star Munchkin card backs! While any Munchkin set can mix with any other, regardless of card back, we know that some gamers prefer to have the backs match up. Since Star Munchkin is already a well-loved space version of the classic game, we think Munchkin Starfinder will play very nicely added to it. Of course, you can play Starfinder on its own, too!

You can also customize your own cards now, with the Munchkin Starfinder Blank Card Pack! These are included automatically for "I Want It All" backers, or as a $3 add-on for those at First Officer and above. Of course that means we're only $5,000 away from Credsticks, and we've revealed a few more goals to aim for after that! 

We also wanted to mention the Social Media goals again. We're getting close on the Facebook shares, and for fans on BoardGameGeek. To become a fan on the BGG, simply log into the site, and click the little heart icon in the game description. 

That’s all for today! Remember, the campaign ends in less than a week, so let all the Munchkin fans you care about know so they don’t miss out!

New Audience Goals, And The "I Want It All" Box!
over 6 years ago – Sat, Oct 28, 2017 at 11:59:29 PM

We're at the halfway mark in the campaign, and we've got some surprises for you! We've added a host of new goals to our Audience Goals section, including a digital Christmas card, a new Mask of the Munchkin (we haven't done one of those in a while!), and a new card, available only in the "I Want It All" box. Wait, what's that? 

While I too "Want it All", we need a box that holds it all. Introducing the I Want it All Munchkin Starfinder box! 

This nifty guy will hold all the items in the "I Want it All" tiers including the certificate and exclusives to the box that may open up as stretch goals. Need even more? We're going to open this box up for $60 to anyone who pledges at First Officer reward level or higher. The size and design of the box will change after the project closes to make sure we can fit all those stretch goals, but rest assured it WILL have a rule printed onto it!

For those of you who missed it, we've also added additional copies of the game to the campaign. These are not considered add-ons for the purposes of our "I Want It All" tiers, but they do allow you to get some bonus copies as gifts.

Designer’s Notes by Andrew Hackard
over 6 years ago – Sat, Oct 28, 2017 at 12:54:28 AM

Designing a Munchkin game is no laughing matter. Well, actually, it is. That’s a bad example.

But it can be tough coming up with dozens of jokes for each set, multiple times a year! Fortunately, we have Munchkin Line Editor Andrew Hackard! Not only is he the rules guru for all things Munchkin, he can make a groan-inducing pun at the drop of a hat: the perfect Munchkin combination! (Warning: If you value your sanity, do not drop hats in front of Andrew. Trust us on this.)

Andrew discusses this process in his Munchkin Starfinder Designer’s Notes on our Medium page; check it out! 

We're also getting very close to our $50K stretch goal for an extra bookmark, for everyone at First Officer and above! This will, of course, include an additional rule for you to use in-game.

New Stretch Goals, Class Preview: Solarian
over 6 years ago – Thu, Oct 26, 2017 at 11:12:16 PM

A mighty round of applause for all of you, our backers! Thanks to you, we've been crushing stretch goals left and right, so now we're able to reveal even more! Not only do we have blank cards and an extra bookmark in sights, we're finally able to post the Munchkin Starfinder Credsticks goal! These are metal versions of the currency found in Starfinder; think Munchkin coins, in space! And remember; backers at the "I Want It All" reward levels and higher get one copy of each unlocked stretch goal included automatically with their pledges. That means the value for those reward levels will keep going up as we unlock more add-ons! 

Solarian Preview

Attuned warriors that wield some of the strongest natural forces, Solarians use their powers of light and gravity to manipulate the battle to their benefit. In Munchkin Starfinder, this gives them several powers: will you get a bigger combat bonus or nimbly escape from a losing struggle? In addition, their ability to draw a new hand of cards means solarians can be flexible, finding new strategies to beat their opponents. (Art not final)
