Steve Jackson Games announced two new Munchkin products tied to other successful brands.
Two Tabletop-fueled card games will be united in a single high concept product next summer when Steve Jackson Games and Atlas Games come together to release Munchkin Gloom, which will be designed by Gloom designer Keith Baker.
The two games are natural complements, according to the two companies. "The best part of Gloom is telling the saddest story, explaining how your family has it worse than anyone else," Gloom designer Keith Baker said. "Whose lives could be more miserable than the monsters of Munchkin…?"
"Gloom is all about killing your own characters in the most creative, depressing ways possible," Munchkin Czar Andrew Hackard said. "No game has as many creative ways to kill things as Munchkin does!"
Steve Jackson Games also revealed that USAopoly will release a second Munchkin set that ties to Adventure Time (See "'Munchkin Adventure Time'"), Munchkin Adventure Time 2--It’s a Dungeon Crawl, next spring.
Munchkin Gloom is one of several tie-in Munchkin titles announced in the last month, which also include Munchkin Kobolds Ate My Baby and Munchkin Apocalypse Judge Dredd (see "Rolling for Initiative—Gen Con through Social Media").
