Today’s patch addresses a number of gameplay fixes and improvements, particularly focused on issues identified by the player community.

[h2]Gameplay Improvements[/h2]

• Tweaked the AI to make it more receptive to fair trade offers. Lower difficulty AI players should also be a bit friendlier and more likely to help in combat.
  

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Significant improvements to connection and stability, reducing the number of times players should experience these kinds of issues during games.
  
• Players should no longer get stuck in a reconnect loop if they are the last player to time out in a multiplayer game.
  
• Fixed issues when joining from the Dire Wolf Game Room app, and cases where games would not start when a player tried to join from the Game Room app.
  
• Restraining Order should now correctly undo Friendly and Dead Broke
  
• Mobile players should now be able to defeat all Nose-related monsters with Potion of Halitosis.
  
• Fixed an unlocalized prompt which could appear when an opponent is facing Pack Rat.
  
• Playing Illusion on Lust Monster should no longer end the combat immediately instead of allowing you to fight the replacement.
  
• Gummi Golem’s Bad Stuff should now get removed if you’re forced to help in a combat(with Kneepads of Allure, for example).
  
• Removed the ability to decline Looting a dead Munchkin’s Body. The stink will wash out, we promise!
  
• Curse! Income Tax should now get properly redirected by Magic Hat.
  
• Duck of Many Things should now allow you to discard cards from in play in addition to your hand.
  
• Helper Cleric should can now be able to use its ability to fight the Wannabe Vampire.
  
• You should now be able to correctly use Dwarf-only Items while affected by Curse! Amnesia if you have a Fake Beard.
  
• Items affected by Curse! Cursed Thingy should no longer take up hand or other slots if held by a Hireling or attached to a Cheat!
  
• Stopped the AI from cheating at the Dungeon Casino by under-paying.
  
• Made the Humiliation achievement possible to achieve using Curse! Dying Curse. Ironic name for a broken achievement, no?
  
• Piñata no longer has an incorrect prompt header for its Bad Stuff.
  
• Clarified the language around sending an Ask for Help offer to other players.
  
• If you add a card to the Charity window and then remove it, it should now have a highlight in your hand to represent it still being legal to give.
  

[h2]Known Issues[/h2]

• In rare cases, the AI may ask a level 9 Elf for help in combat, unintentionally granting them an easy win.
  
• A jump-in window to use Take Me! Take Me! is missing before a Bard uses Enthrall.
  
• Friendly can currently be played on a “Sleeping” monster, which should not be allowed.

As always, thanks for playing Munchkin, and happy gaming!

Another 112 cards for your collection of dastardly monsters and zany loot is coming your way Monday, July 15th! And we hope you are prepared to make some difficult choices. You can: become a Gnome Bard and subject your foes to discordant tones; don your Chainmail Bikini or kick on some Freudian Slippers, then do battle with the fearsome Tequila Mockingbird. So much mischief, so little time!

Test your Munchkinly mettle with seven new challenges to overcome!

• Bardic Shuffle – can you overcome the new set’s obstacles with a little extra luck?
  
• Munchkin Roulette – spin the wheel and win big at The Dungeon Casino!
  
• Mimic Infestation – looting the room has never been deadlier! You do like mimics, right?
  
• The Illusion of Choice – pick a card, any card…
  
• Perfectly Balanced Monster Design – all encounters balanced to your strength, for the discerning strategy gamer.
  
• Clergy Conundrum – have faith… whether you want to or not!
  
• Loot Goblin – get rich or die trying! Is it really a win if you don’t walk out with a dragon’s hoard?
  

[h2]More Achievements![/h2]

• 15 new achievements for all the completionist Munchkins out there. Will you prove yourself as a Noble Knight, or will you suffer ultimate Humiliation?
  

[h2]Fixes and Improvements [/h2]
This patch includes numerous fixes and improvements to make sure you can go about your Munchkinly activities in peace:

• Fake Beard’s scruff is vastly improved and now properly “hides” your other Race(s) from monsters.
  
• Bigfoot found his appetite, so his Bad Stuff will now correctly remove Chicken on Your Head.
  
• Wishing Ring can now save you from Curse! New Edition Rules.
  
• Help Me Out Here can no longer result in you using extra Items. Sorry, you’ll need a valid Cheat! for that!
  
• Help Me Out Here can also no longer steal Items you can’t equip. That’s the kind of help we all could do without.
  
• Out To Lunch will now reduce the treasure reward of the combat to 2, regardless of how many monsters were in the combat, as intended.
  
• The discard prompt for Deck of Too Many Things should no longer close unpredictably.
  
• Wand of Dowsing’s prompt has been adjusted to no longer block buttons on widescreen phones. It’s supposed to help you find things, not hide them!
  
• Raincoat, Knight Light, and other “can be worn over another Item” effects now properly discard the extra equipment in certain cases where they previously did not.
  
• While you have a discard prompt pending but minimized, you can no longer drag cards from your hand to prevent unintentional discards.
  

Now… go make mischief!
