The card game is developed by Jon Cohn, and includes new art from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman and Tadd Galusha. Players take the role of the TMNT and their friends, and then fight monsters and grab treasure. MSRP is $24.95.
To help fund the game, IDW Games will launch a Kickstarter on March 7, which will also feature Deluxe and Deluxe Ultimate versions of the game exclusively available through the Kickstarter campaign. The Deluxe Edition will include character standees and an illustrated level tracker. The Deluxe Ultimate Edition will feature variant retro-style coloring of all components, similar to the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics. The deluxe editions will have an MSRP of $29.95.There have been plenty of licensed versions of Munchkin over the years, including Munchkin Conan, Munchkin Adventure Time, Munchkin The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Munchkin: Marvel Edition.
