Munchkin Patch 1.0.1

December 8, 2022

Munchkin Patch 1.0.1 focuses on feedback that we’ve received from Steam Early Access players to improve the gameplay experience and clarity of certain interactions. One highly requested item to note: turn and action timers have been increased in this patch, and we’re looking into more configurable options for timers as we continue to fine-tune the overall pacing of the game.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed feedback – we’ll be continuing to work on improvements along the way to cross-platform launch!

Here’s what’s in today’s patch:
