Munchkin Patch 1.2.2

You've been busy this week! We've seen a whole lot more adventurers rampaging through the dungeon in the past few days, turning up invaluable insights into some pesky bugs that we've been working to squash. Today's patch addresses a handful of UI elements and softlock issues identified by the community since release:

Bug Fixes
  • When cancelling the Illusion card, the discard box no longer remains on screen
  • Players will no longer be prompted to use Resurrection while holding an insufficient number of cards in hand
  • Resolved instances of Super Duper Heroic challenge softlocking the game
  • Continued focus reducing the number of softlock, crash, and gameplay related bugs


As always, if you encounter anything in game that seems like it's not supposed to be that way, please drop us a line using the in-game feedback option, or via email to [email protected].

Thanks for playing Munchkin!
