Reviews of Munchkin

This is the ultimate RPG card game that makes fun of RPG’s. I’m not a huge role player, but I’ve dabbled in it, and playing Munchkin hits just the right balance between RPG and “let’s make fun of RPG’s” for me.

The beauty of this game is that when you are small and weak, those “unbeatable foes” usually have some caveat, like they will not chase you if you are level 3 or less, so you can back away quietly in that situation.

It is almost essential to make alliances with the other players at the right time so your combined forces can slay the monster. However, this is usually when the other player(s) take the opportunity to stab you in the back, and trying to get out of a battle that gets too deep as a flurry of cards is cast down is almost as fun as winning the easy battles.

You have to see how using cards can effect other cards, and hopefully you have that one last “trick” up your sleeve that helps you win by theskin of your teeth. The sex changes, curses, and other “surprises” that happen along the way add to the fun!

This is a FIRST RATE game that I absolutely love playing. Once you get the hang of it, the reply value is very high since the stars never line up the same way. Each game is different.
