Go down in the dungeon. Kill everything you meet. Backstab your friends and steal their stuff. Grab the treasure and run.
Admit it. You love it.
Well this is it the Funniest card game ever!!
This will bring many many hours of good gaming fun. If you consider yourself to be a real gamer and don't yet have a munchkin game then you are nothing more than a pile of radioactive droppings from the Plutonium Dragon and should be mocked relentlessly by those who would otherwise be your friends and loved ones. ;D
Munchkin is a stand-alone card game designed by Steve Jackson that "simulates" (well, sorta') a fantasy-themed RPG (oh, ok, D&D) in a simple, card-based game that's chock full o' silliness.
Everyone begins the game as a 1st level Human with NO Class (heh-heh) and via cards, they acquire Races (Elf, Dwarf, etc.), Classes (Thief, Wizard, Cleric, etc.), Items, Armor, Potions and more that they use to combat hideous monsters like: the 4th level Undead Horse, the 10th level Net Troll and the 14th Level Unspeakably Awful, Indescribable Horror (very nasty, indeed). The object of the game is to reach Level 10 and levels are acquired via the slaying of monsters and the selling of acquired treasure (1,000 Gold Pieces equals 1 Level). Very silly and a lot of fun!
Well What can I say I just love that game!
How to play
Gameplay is pretty straight forward. First, the two decks (Dungeon cards and Treasure cards) are shuffled separately and placed in two stacks face down on the table. Each player is then dealt 2 cards from each deck.
On each persons turn you do the following;
Open a door - Draw a card from the Dungeon deck and turn it face up. If its a monster (i.e. a Level 2 Large Angry Chicken)... fight
it, if its a curse (i.e. the Duck of Doom)... do what it says immediately (if possible) then discard it, if it is anything else (i.e. the Cheat card)... putit in your hand or use it immediately. Combat is pretty simple. Your level plus any bonuses Vs the monsters level. He with the most... wins.
Look for trouble - This can only be done if you did not encounter a monster in the previous phase. You may now play a monster
from your hand.
Loot the room - If you were able to kill the monster you get to draw the number of Treasure cards shown on the monsters card.
These are drawn face down ... unless someone else helped you kill the monster, then they are drawn face up. If you did not meet a monster you get to draw a Treasure and a Dungeon card face down and place them in your hand. (This simulates looting an empty room). Treasure can be anything from the Boots of Butt-Kicking to a Sneaky Bastard Sword to the famed Pointy Hat of Power. This
is pretty much where the games humor shines.
Give to charity - If you now have more than 5 cards (6 for Dwarves) you must give your excess cards to the player with the lowest level, or divide them evenly in case of a tie. If you are the lowest level player the cards are discarded.
Ohh how the time fly when you have fun
Ohh well I guess I have to stop at some point..
But if you ever fell like stopping by Preston for a game Ill be there ;D
