February 15, 2006: Now Shipping!

This is the latest release from Steve Jackson Games, now on the shelves of a game store near you:

Munchkin 4 - The Need for Steed

Munchkin 4 - The Need for Steed is the latest expansion for the original Munchkin – 112 more John Kovalic-illustrated cards for killing monsters, stealing treasure, and backstabbing your fellow players. This set introduces Steeds, the trusty mounts of legend . . . Oh, wait – this is Munchkin! So these Steeds include not just the Dragon and the Tiger, but the Giant Mutant Gerbil (drawn by guest artist Shaenon K. Garrity of Narbonic), the Chicken, and Big Joe, who might be a Steed or might be a Hireling. It’s hard to tell.

Hireling? Yes indeed, The Need for Steed has lots and lots of Hirelings, who look quite a bit like Sidekicks from Super Munchkin, or Minions from Munchkin Bites! Add these valuable characters to your retinue, use their special abilities, and sacrifice them without a thought to save your own skin! Or, better yet, kill somebody else's Hireling. That's the way a Munchkin does it!

Feel the need . . . The Need for Steed!

112 cards in a clamshell display pack. Stock #1444, ISBN 1-55634-749-9. $16.95.


Warehouse 23 News: The Ball Is Round, The Game Lasts 15 Minutes

Dodgeball. Dismissed by some as a simple game for children, dodgeball is a contest of wills, a test of endurance, and quite possibly the purest form of sport known to the human race. So if you've got the guts to partake in the ultimate battle between you and that other guy, grab your . . . large, rubber spheroids and sign yourself up for World Championship Dodgeball.
