Three mini-expansions for use with three of our most popular Munchkin games: Munchkin Cthulhu, Munchkin Zombies, and Star Munchkin! *Items ordered will ship with the Mini Expansions project, even if currently available. **A setup fee will be charged based on the originating country to help cover expenses to start a shipment in your region.
Sabrina has approved the final production samples of the promo pack. The project -- all three mini-expansions and this pack of promo cards -- is set to ship from the factory next week. We plan to start mailing rewards to backers in late August/early September.

All three of the new Munchkin mini-expansions that are being created as a part of this project are now officially completed and approved! The factory sent over our final production samples -- copies of the expansions pulled from the final printing -- and Sabrina reviewed and approved the three sets this morning. We're still on track to load these onto a container next month!!!
Once we ship these to project backers, the three new titles will join all of the other mini-expansions that we have published over the years. While you wait for us to update the project once the titles go on the boat, see the full list of mini-expansions at the official Munchkin website. That's a lot of cards!

On the manufacturing side, the carton markings -- the product details that are printed on the shipping cases -- have been approved, the tooling samples for the promo pack have been approved, and the project continues to move toward the finish line. At the moment, we still look on track for the project to be loaded onto a container by mid-July.
With the factory on task and working to finish their part of the project, it is time that we direct our attention to the BackerKit surveys and wrapping up that stage of the campaign. There are 119 of you who have not yet completed your surveys, so now it is time that we ask: Please complete your survey ASAP! Without a completed survey, we cannot ship your rewards.
If you're unsure of whether or not you have completed your survey, please search your email for "munchkin survey confirmation" and check out the results. If you need assistance with your survey, please email [email protected] for support and the team will do all they can to help you out.
In other Munchkin news, it is shaping up to be a busy season for our team. We have both the Origins and Gen Con conventions coming up, where we'll be running games and showing off the newest titles, as well as a series of new Munchkin titles that are slated to reach game stores and Warehouse 23 over the next few months.
What's the summer newness for Munchkin? Check out the official Munchkin website to see all of the new stuff, including expansions for Munchkin Warhammer 40,000!

Yesterday, David and I spent about four hours reviewing all of the Steve Jackson Games projects that are either at the factory or set to go to print soonish. As a part of the project(s) review, we spent time going over the latest news on the three mini-expansions that are being created thanks to your support . . . and we have some great news!
All three of the new Munchkin mini-expansions, as well as the promo pack, are (at this moment) ahead of schedule and should complete production at the factory by mid-July. That puts the project reaching our fulfillment warehouse in late August or early September, and U.S. shipping starting in late September or early October. The exact timing of shipping rewards to backers will depend on other projects that are ahead of this one in the queue, though we're almost 100% certain to deliver the U.S. rewards no later than by the end of October.
International rewards will ship as quickly as we can manage. The exact timing of delivery will depend on many variables outside of our control (the paperwork never ends!), though we're still on track to deliver international rewards no later than originally estimated.
We have more Munchkin projects set to launch on Kickstarter later this year. Please be sure you're following both the Steve Jackson Games and the Warehouse 23 accounts here on Kickstarter so that you don't miss out on some fun expansions and accessories!

So far, over 1,100 of you have already completed your surveys: Thank you!!! The project is now at print and everything is on schedule; completing your surveys quickly helps us to stick as close to the delivery estimate as we can manage.
For those of you who are interested, here are the top ten add-ons items that have been selected so far in BackerKit:
Some of the above are no longer available (the Munchkin Rainbow D6 Dice Set, for example) because demand was much greater than we expected. In some cases (again, the Munchkin Rainbow D6 Dice Set) we are taking steps to produce more; there will be another opportunity in the near future to preorder these dice.
Do you have any questions or need help with your survey? Please let us know and the team will do all they can to help you out!
