Steve Jackson Games and Games Workshop announce Munchkin Warhammer Age of Sigmar

Mighty Battles for the Mortal Realms . . . The Perfect Chance to Kill the Monster, Steal the Treasure, and Stab Your Buddy!

Austin, Texas [March 12, 2019]: Steve Jackson Games and Games Workshop brought Munchkin and Warhammer 40,000 together to create a perfect fusion of the two games with Munchkin Warhammer 40,000 . . . but there’s a lot more to Warhammer than just one universe! The story continues with Munchkin Warhammer Age of Sigmar. The Eight Realms of Age of Sigmar form a new battleground for Munchkin players to explore – by which we mean kill monsters and take their stuff, obviously.

First launched in 2015, Warhammer Age of Sigmar has found a home on game tables worldwide. Its rich story and variety of foes are a perfect match for your Munchkin game. Illustrated by principal Munchkin artist John Kovalic and designed by Munchkin Line Editor Andrew Hackard in close consultation with Games Workshop, Munchkin Warhammer Age of Sigmar is completely compatible with Munchkin Warhammer 40,000 and its expansions . . . create a truly epic battle by mixing the sets!

Munchkin Warhammer Age of Sigmar will launch late 2019 in our premiere Deluxe format ($29.95), followed by two 112-card expansions ($19.95) in 2020. That’s nearly 400 cards of additional Munchkin Warhammer fun!
