Ha, ha! Yeah, I guess that's true. Though I can honestly say that I've never bought a Munchkin product in my life; not even real sure what kind of game it is. Is it a card game or what? It must make your bed and cook you breakfast in the morning given its popularity. I even see it carried in my local Barnes and Noble. Have I been missing something great all this time?
So, you're a normal human with no class (actual game joke that'll NEVER get old). You have 2 hands, 1 head, 1 body, and 1 pair of feet, and only enough room in your backpack for 1 BIG thing, however its a bag of holding for anything not big.
So you kick down the door, Kill the monsters, take their stuff, and push your friends into traps, curses, and other devilish devices so you can reach level 10 first and mock them!
With monsters like the Lame goblin (who uses cruches), the potted plant, evil clowns, Jabberwocky, The plutonium dragon, the monster the GM made up himself, and other such cards, you're always in for a good fight!
You can gain levels by killing monsters, boiling ant hills, buying the GM pizza, washing the GM's car, Stealing them from other players, devine intervention, etc. The only level you need to kill a monster for is level 10.
Treasure includes things like Lawn rollers, the 3-handed sword, the singing and dancing sword, pantyhose of giant strength (not usable by fighters), Broad sword (only usable by women), Bastard sword (only usable by men) and many, many more.
Its a great beer and pretzils game, perfect to play when you're waiting for 1 or 2 players to show up, during a game break, or just on its own.
Its fun, wacky, and has alot of roleplaying humor in it that can be apreciated no matter what RPG systems you're into.
I highly reccomend it.
(damn... I should be an ad guy for SJ games or somthing)
