Bring Heroes, Villains and Princesses to the Table in Munchkin: Disney

Bring Heroes, Villains and Princesses to the Table in Munchkin: Disney
Board Game: Munchkin Disney DuckTales
In 2019, U.S. publisher The Op released Munchkin: Disney DuckTales, the latest in a series of licensed Munchkin titles released in partnership with originating publisher Steve Jackson Games, a partnership that started in 2014 with Munchkin Adventure Time.

Now The Op has announced a companion title to that earlier release — Munchkin: Disney, which expands the potential subject matter from Duckburg to seemingly everything in the Disney universe. Here's a short description of this Q4 2020 release:
Quote:
If you've longed to live your days as a Disney hero, villain, or princess, you'll now have the chance to do so as the role-playing card game Munchkin: Disney brings "tales as old as time" to life on the tabletop!

Board Game: Munchkin Disney

Munchkin: Disney combines the treasure-hunting, back-stabbing, and leveling-up fun of the best-selling card game Munchkin with timeless Disney characters, phrases, and objects. Kick open a door to encounter monsters like infamous villains Jafar and Ursula, while trying to avoid curses such as Forever Asleep and Poison! Obtaining the glorious treasure cards will fill your hands with bonus items, abilities, and allies including Maui's Hook, Magic Carpet, or Elsa, which can assist in combat, help, or hinder other players whose objective is also to reach Level 10.

With the flick of a wand, special "Disney Magic" directives benefit the card holders who sing or hum a Disney movie tune. These and other hilarious challenges await players who are ready to relive their favorite Disney moments, while literally bursting into song!
Board Game: Munchkin Critical Role
• Another such collaboration that I haven't covered previously in this space is Munchkin: Critical Role, which was announced in March 2020 and also due out in Q4 2020. Here's an excerpt from the press release announcing that title:
Quote:
Munchkin: Critical Role will bring together Critical Role's celebrated weekly tentpole web series with the Munchkin game world where players take risks, betray their friends, and grab loot to reach Level 10 and win. Critical Role's weekly popular web series features The Mighty Nein adventuring party, which includes eight renowned voice actors who gather for ongoing livestreamed roleplaying game sessions.

"We're thrilled to see the world and characters of the Mighty Nein come to life in card game form with Munchkin, and we can't wait to share it with the Critters. We wouldn't be here today without them," said Ben Van Der Fluit, Vice President of Business Development for Critical Role...

"In this version of Munchkin, fans will compete to grab magic and kill monsters specific to Critical Role, such as Lorenzo and Avantika," says Phil Reed, CEO of Steve Jackson Games.
The Op also plans to release two 1,000-piece Critical Role jigsaw puzzles in 2020, which is yet another example of the increased crossover between games and jigsaw puzzles, such as Renegade Game Studios' June 2020 Kickstarter campaign (KS link) for a set of four such puzzles using art from its games.
