Munchkin 1.4 Patch Notes

A very mischievous hello to you all!

This patch brings Munchkin players an improved experience to numerous parts of the game: we’ve improved character creation during match setup so cards act more intuitively, clarified Discard UX, and improved the presentation of the Action Log and various odds and ends on different screens and menus.

Additionally, we made systemic improvements that address current bugs and avoid future ones, and improved how timers and VFX are handled during multiplayer gameplay.

Finally, we’ve continued to squash rare softlocks and fixed a number of corner-case gameplay bugs. All in all, we are very excited to bring these improvements to players and eagerly await your feedback and requests.
