Munchkin Boxes of Holding is an expansion for Munchkin released in 2010 for 3–6 players, 90 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Steve Jackson (I) and Andrew Hackard and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers and Hand Management.
Munchkin Boxes of Holding are designed to hold cards from any of the many Munchkin games as those cards are a non-standard size. Each box can hold 500 cards, with one box for Door cards and one box for Treasure cards. Three themed versions of the Boxes of Holding exist – one based on basic Munchkin, another based on Munchkin Cthulhu, and a third based on Munchkin Zombies; each version is packaged with two unique cards for the corresponding Munchkin set. Munchkin Boxes of Holding Set 2 changes this formula by including a third box large enough for all the Dungeon cards released as of mid-2013 and the Seals from Munchkin Apocalypse, with room to spare for other items still to come. This set also includes three new unique cards, one of which will be a Dungeon. Part of the Munchkin series.
Munchkin Boxes of Holding supports 3–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Munchkin Boxes of Holding is 90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Munchkin Boxes of Holding for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
