Munchkin Booty [With Dice]

a swashbuckling twist on an already great game

Munchkin Booty successfully takes the Munchkin series of adventure card games to the world of pirates. It plays very similar to other Munchkin games with very few differences in rules and gameplay. I personally feel this is the most accessible version of Munchkin due to the pirates theme.



For those unfamilair with the Munchkin series the object of the game is to outfit your character with an arsenal of items and weapons to do battle against a number of villians and sea creatures. You can both help and hinder the other players depending on which opportunities are in your best interest at the time.



The cards often have some instructions on them. Thus players who have difficulty reading will have difficulty playing as well. The instructions (both on the card and in the book) are detailed but the game is not very complicated. You'll likely have to refer to the rules for the first few rounds of play but players pick it up quickly. Game length varies a lot. Experienced no-nonsense players can get in a game in 30 minutes. If you're playing with multiple new players or a chatty group a 2-hour game is not unusual. Like the other Munchkin games it's technically possible to play with just 2 people but 3 or more is preferable.



My only complaint is that players must provide their own level counters. You can buy official Munchkin level counters which are essentially oversized 10-sided dice. Coins decorative glass stones or pen and paper work just as well.More detail ...
