Munchkin Patch 1.0.1 focuses on feedback that we’ve received from Steam Early Access players to improve the gameplay experience and clarity of certain interactions. One highly requested item to note: turn and action timers have been increased in this patch, and we’re looking into more configurable options for timers as we continue to fine-tune the overall pacing of the game.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed feedback – we’ll be continuing to work on improvements along the way to cross-platform launch!
