I don't care for the Genre or the game tweak

Next to STAR MUNCHKIN this is my least favorite of the very excellent Munchkin series of games.



Two things work against it for me.



1...The Genre is just not my thing if it is your thing then you will enjoy this game a lot more than I do.



2...The powers system powers that can be used are based on levels it is in my opinion not as playable and took my kid a bit longer to catch on. The same system was used in SuperMunchkin and I didn't care for it as much there either.



Nevertheless the game system plays pretty much like all the others so it is pretty solid. Munchkin is a fine game series it's just a question of finding the right flavor for you.



This one just doesn't happen to be mine.More detail ...

Your Munchkin Fu is no match for mine!

Munchkin Fu is a great variation on the near-classic Munchkin gameplay.



You battle your munchkin warriors (yakuza samurai monk or ninja) against hordes of demons Gaki and other monsters and collect heaps of treasure and weapons along the way.



The game is fast-paced VERY varied (and funny too) and easy to set up and play. It's just two card decks and one dice. Simple!



I'm taking off one star just because it's got a fairly steep learning curve. There are a lot of rules and every card in the deck has it's own set of rules to follow. It can be very overwhelming for a new player... but it's interesting enough to stick with it and after your first game it's easy to plan strategies and keep up with the rules and gameplay.



Another item to note is that most Munchkin decks can be combined. ie. you can use your Munchkin Fu decks with your regular Munchkin decks or other Munchkin games. Rules for combining decks are included.More detail ...

Great addition to the Munchkin Series!

Already having nearly every Munchkin game I was curious what to expect from this expansion. But this game is truly a way to change up the normal Munchkin rules by adding in Dungeon cards. These cards give all the players extra advantages (and disadvantages) thus making game play go by a little quiker than normal. I do recommend using the blank cards to create your own dungeons or treasures. More detail ...

Fun boardgame based on Munchkin

First off I would really recommend this for people who are familiar with the Munchkin card game. If you like the card game chances are you will enjoy the board game. Although the gameplay is somewhat different it definitely helps to know how to play the card game. It is more complicated because of the fact that you lay down dungeon tiles and have to keep track of monsters and such but that is what makes it fun! The additional rules on the dungeon tiles add to the fun as well.



I bought this for my boyfriend as a Christmas present and we brought it over to his friend's house so we could try it out. We played it with four people and just glanced over the rules and delved into the game. We figured that we could consult the rules as we went along (This makes it more fun but it can take longer). Of course we did some things that might be against some of the rules but we learned for the next time. We also noticed that the game came with a die that had 6 colored sides to it two of which we did not have player tokens for. The reason for this is that the expansion Munchkin Quest 2: Looking for Trouble has the two extra player pieces along with additional cards rules etc... It took us longer than usual to play through the game because we were trying to get the monster movement and who owns what monster down but after a few turns we were more confident. Next time we play it will probably take less time because we would know how everything works.



I enjoyed the game and everyone else seemed to like it as well. The only problem is that we can't always play because it takes up so much time.



Overall it was a very fun game as long as you don't mind the complexities of Munchkin's transition to the board game. And as with most board games it takes some time to play (the box actually states that gameplay can take up to 3 hours!). However I would check out the reviews on [...] as they do a better job explaining it than me!More detail ...

A most excellent addition!

Munchkin 2 makes the original Munckin card game even better. This item arrives in disposable packaging and is meant to be slipped into the box you got along with your original Munchkin game. The cards from the two decks are fungible so once you have put them together you will never find the need to seperate them.

I purchased this game along with Star Munchkin about eight months ago. The latter game was fun but the addition of all these extra cards to the Munchkin deck made Munchkin my group's game of choice. If you are considering either buying Star Munchkin *or* the expansion sets to Munchkin (Munchkin 3 Clerical Errors was recently released as of this writing) then I would suggest that you buy the two expansions. If you want to add an "Oriental Adventures" flavor to your card gaming Munchkin Fu another new release should do the trick. It can be added with the other Munchkin cards or played seperately.

You will enjoy the Munchkin card game if you are able to get a group of players together that will harbor no ill feelings towards backstabbing and general treachery. I find that four works best three being too few because two have a tendancy to gang up on one and five being still quite fun but taking a little longer between plays to progress.More detail ...

Best add on pack yet!

This add-on definitely improves the original Munchkin! It contains sidekicks like an elf sidekick and dwarf sidekick who can use race-specific items and take some devices off your hands (literally!). It also has modifiers like High and Dark (high elf dark wizard...) which can be used ALONG WITH race cards (dark characters gain a level when bad stuff happens to other characters which adds a fun dimension). The other notable addition is the steeds "items" which you can ride for as much as a +5 bonus with the all-powerful Dragon Steed. There's the perpetually terrified Chicken Steed 9-Lived Tiger Steed Giant Mutant Gerbil and plenty of others. Plus all the cards have that brilliant Munchkin humor. Since this repairs the race and hand restrictions in original Munchkin I'd definitely suggest getting this one even if it's the only add-on pack you collect!More detail ...
