Review: Munchkin: The anti-Dungeon!! - There is an old board game, that is back out for buying, called Dungeon, made originally by TSR and now sold by Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast. It is a simple game of players going around a dungeon, kicking in doors, facing monsters and if victorious winning their treasure. The first to reach a certain amount of treasure, dictated by their class, and return to the great hall at the centre where all the players start, wins the game. The game is not co-operative, but neither can the players do anything to impede or harm the other players. Its a race to the finish. The game is designed for younger players but for the whole family to get a taste of dungeoneering. Why do I bring this game up? because in many ways Munchkin is a parody of Dungeon. In essence the goal is the same. Explore a dungeon, kick in doors, defeat monsters and get their treasure. First to tenth level wins the game. But whereas Dungeon is a fun light game of players racing to be first, Munchkin has players actively aiding other characters when its in their best interests and also aiding the monsters when it suits their purposes as well. Where Dungeon allows for no player on player interference, Munchkin not only allows for it it actively encourages it. The game is at its heart a card game with cards depicting monsters to be faced, along with various traps, items, and special effects. Races and classes are also included in the game for players to become as the game progresses if they choose to. The cards in themselves are all incredibly humorous and its clear that the creators know the sorts of games they are parodying and leave no stone unturned for a bad pun. The artwork is of a high quality and evocative, in other words, the pics are damned funny. If you want a light, easy, very tongue in cheek game of dungeon crawling and backstabbing, then this is the game for you. Egos need not apply and should be safely left at the door while the rest of you just accepts the madness within. Go forth, quest and may you find the chainsaw of bloody dismemberment.
Review: Super addictive fantasy card/board game. Watch out, you may get hooked into buying expansions. - Munchkin is a great Dungeons and Dragons parody game, full of quirky humour and adorable graphics on the cards. This is a must game for any would-be geek/nerd. (Please note that the base game can be bought without the deluxe version, it just depends if you want the extras or not.) This version of Munchkin provides the base game card deck with character cards, 6 coloured plastic character tokens and a very simple 1-10 board to illustrate game progression. As mentioned you can buy it without the board or extras but play is a little more straight forward with them. There is space in the box to add in expansions but it could get messy. Thankfully each expansion to Munchkin is identifiable on the cards (you might have to scan through the deck to check). The game is both simple to dive into and great fun with great replayabilty. If you are a stickler for rules they come with the game and are dowloadable from the official Munchkin website. You play as a "Munchkin", who for all purposes is a generic treasure hunting Human character. Equip him/her with armour and weapons, change them into a thief or a cleric or wizard etc and even change their race from Dwarf to Elf and so on, using cards you have from your hand. Then "knock" on a door to find out what is in the next dungeon. The aim of the game is to get your character to level 10, simply by battling and defeating monsters. Of course it isn't as simpe as have more power than said monster. Find a monster who is too powerful to defeat and you can use potions/spells or abilities or even call on a friend (who may or may not help). Or maybe you can easily defeat the monster, in which case your friend could chose to help the monster defeat you. Things get ugly as you get closer to winning and it's never as straight forward as have the most powerful character. What I love is that even if someone is miles ahead they can come crashing down very easily. Game times can vary from 10mins to 1 hour. The more people you have the more competitive and longer the games can last. My experience has been that the various add ons are well worth a look and don't forget to checkout forums and other online stuff for variant rules etc. Buy this if: 1) You like quirky role playing games that make fun of the genre 2) You have more than 2 friends as above 3) Even if you don't like the above but want something different from Monopoly or Trivial pursuit 4) You may be willing to lose hours playing and replaying Don't buy this if: 1) You have no sense of humour 2) You really don't have more than 1 other friend 3) Monopoly is you favourtie game ever and there's nothing to beat it...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this include the playing board? TIA :o)**
A: No playing board included. Never needed one when paying myself.. Just turning cards over really. Also doesn't include counters for leveling up but there is an app you can use for keeping track of score /levels

**Q: Can this be played on it's own or do you need a starter pack?**
A: This game can be played on its own, as well as with any other version of Munchkin.

**Q: Why is this rated 13+? Is it the complexity or inappropriateness? I have a smart 8 year old son, and I think we'd have fun playing.**
A: My 8 year old plays and she loves it. Great springboard into true rpgs too

**Q: does star munchkin come with a board or is it just an expansion pack?**
A: I can confirm that the star munchkin box does not contain the board or playing pieces which you get in the munchkin deluxe box. Even with out these it's still a great game & can still be played though it does help to have the board.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great fun - easy to learn, quick to play, lots of replay value.
*by R***L on 12 June 2015*

Great fun. I picked this up after purchasing Munchkin Quest and finding that a little difficult to get going (rules wise) and long running (3-4 hours a game). Munchkin is the polar opposite. With pretty much two sheets of rules, you're up and running very quality. The basic concepts of the game are easy to grasp and crucially the turns move very quickly - whereas munchkin quest could leave the other players sitting around twiddling their thumbs for an age. Artwork and flavour text of the game is great and amusing after multiple play throughs. A core concept of munchkin is 'doing over the other players' by 'being a munchkin'. In this game it feels part and parcel of the system, expected. When playing Munchkin Quest it felt far more vindictive, possibly as a result of how long it had taken you to get anywhere. On average, a 3 player game of Munchkin seems to come in at 35-45 minutes for our group of backstabbers :D One thing not clear to me initially is that you only really need the Munchkin cards to play this game. The Deluxe set comes with a board, munchkin figures and a set of cards (treasure and doors), and a dice. Whilst they figures and board aren't required, they certainly add a nice touch to the game, and keep things nice and organised. However, I thought it worth mentioning that it's pretty easy to play munchkin as a travel game by discarding the board etc and just using the cards and something like a dice to keep track of your level.
