Star Munchkin

Backstabbing Credit-grabbing good times!

Star Munchkin is a fun card game that manages to pit players against each other or force them to help one another depending on who's the perceived frontrunner.

You will like this game if you are a fan of the TV show Survivor. If you are a fan of both Survivor and the Sci-fi channel you will love this game. If you are both of the above and you also consider yourself a somewhat perverse person who enjoys being backstabbed just as much as he enjoys backstabbing...you should see a psychiatrist. Seriously.

This game differs from the original Munchkin in two important ways. One positive one negative.

Positively you can acquire henchmen in this game. the ubiquitous "red shirts" from Star Trek are here to be disposed of as your fortunes (or whim!) dictates.

The down side is that there are no expansion sets for this game yet. Since you can play the original Munchkin with up to three available expansions it is a more interesting and less likely to be repetitive game.

I would advise you to buy the original Munchkin if you are only buying one.

If you already have the original Munchkin plus expansions or Sci-Fi is more your preference over a fantasy setting then I would reccomend Star Munchkin. Either way it will be the most fun you have had playing cards in a while.More detail ...
