Updated the Games PageFebruary 13, 2012
Yesterday’s Games page was seriously out of date. Today’s is much improved! Enjoy the new format and the addition of games that should have been displayed here for ages. This is all part of our ongoing attempt to retool the parts of our site that suck. We are just too busy making new games to actually fix much right now. And it seems like the little things end up taking months to implement. So go check it out!

Flip the Munchkin Switch!October 4, 2011
It’s been a long time in coming and to those of you who have talked with us in person during the past year this might not seem like news, but we have now finished all the prerequisite paperwork and can truly begin to focus our attention on creating the OFFICIAL MUNCHKIN VIDEO GAME! If you don’t know what Munchkin is, we invite you to get out from under your rock and have a look see – The World of Munchkin. One of our goals during the development of Munchkin will be to keep you up-to-date as progress is made on the project, so look for a new development blog in the near future. There is also a Munchkin teaser video that we have shown at cons, and we’ll post a link to it here as soon as soon as SJ Games releases it online. Until then, don’t forget to kill the monsters, steal the treasure, and stab your buddy!
Lloyd Jones (1937 – 2011)July 13, 2011

Louis Finally Gets His HeadlineApril 6, 2011

Owen Comes to TownOctober 10, 2010
Owen is lured to the northwest from his home state of Florida by the promise of working on the Munchkin project, but in fact it was all a devious ploy to get him up here and save our bacon by helping to complete our client's current iPhone game. Welcome Owen!
