Get ready to jack back into the matrix, chummers. Munchkin Shadowrun has a new expansion that will Hack the Future.

The shadows are a dangerous place to run, as any player knows. But they’re also where you find nuyen enough to return to a life of chromed-out luxury. Assuming you survive enemy mages, Black ICE, cybered-up ork street samurai, and even the odd Dragon or two.

And no game knows how to lovingly send up and celebrate the foibles and idiosyncrasies of the games we love quite like Munchkin. There, you’ll find some of the weirdness of your favorite game, be it D&D, 40K, or, in this case, Shadowrun, distilled to perfection and skewered with the precision you rarely find outside of Alphaware.

All that to say, Munchkin Shadowrun’s new Hack the Future expansion takes aim at the Matrix. A target ripe for the picking.

Munchkin Shadowrun: Hack The Future

Munchkin Shadowrun is a heady mix of Catalyst Game Labs’ Shadowrun and the wonderful PVP world of Munchkin. Acquire loot, beat your enemies, win? That’s the plan, at any rate:

“Analog is the past. The Matrix is the future. Now you just need some munchkins to come along and hack it! In the world of Shadowrun, magic and technology mix. Why not add more of both to your Munchkin game? Bring your Impenetrable Logic and your BOOMstick while you wander the Endless Archive, but it is dark in there . . . you just might get eaten by a Grue.

More guns, more magic, and more digital monsters than you can shake a credstick at – what are you waiting for? Hack the Future today!”

You’ll get 112 cards in the new expansion, consisting of:

  • 58 Doors
  • 48 Treasures
  • 6 Double-Sided Matrix Cards

Remember when you hack the Matrix, sometimes it hacks you!
