Steve Jackson Games Releases "The Good, The Bad And The Munchkin"

In a regular but always delightful occurrence, Steve Jackson Games has just released a new stand-alone version of their wildly successful Munchkin card game—The Good, the Bad and the Munchkin.

The original, of course, parodied Dungeons and Dragons but found fans in the mainstream who'd never even looked at a D&D book in their lives. It was followed by Star Munchkin (which took on sci-fi), Munchkin Fu (martial arts!), Munchkin Bites (World of Darkness!), Super Munchkin (super heroes!), Munchkin Impossible (spy movies!), and most recently my favourite, Munchkin Cthulhu.

Well, you fans of the gun-slingin', saloon wreckin' Wild West now have a Munchkin to call your own with the release of The Good, the Bad, and the Munchkin. Fight fearsome foes like the Killer Jalapeño and gain a level by Taking An Annual Bath!

There's certainly more Munchkin to come—rumour has it that pirates are on the horizon for 2008, and maybe even a board game...

But I'm not satisfied yet! They haven't even considered making All My Munchkins (the Munchkin soap opera game), or Iron Munchkin (the Munchkin cook-off game), or America's Next Top Munchkin (the Munchkin modelling industry survival game where you do everything in your power to not be devoured by the Tyra-ant)! Don't think I'm letting you off easy yet, SJ Games—you've only scratched the surface of what can be Munchkin-ized.
