Munchkin is a satirical card game based on the clichés and oddities of Dungeons and Dragons and other role-playing games. Each player starts at level 1 and the winner is the first player to reach level 10. Players can acquire familiar D&D style character classes during the game which determine to some extent the cards they can play.
There are two types of cards - treasure and encounters. Each turn the current players 'kicks down the door' - drawing an encounter card from the deck. Usually this will involve battling a monster. Monsters have their own levels and players must try and overcome it using the levels, weapons and powers they have acquired during the game or run away. Other players can chose to help the player or hinder by adding extra monsters to the encounter. Defeating a monster will usually result in drawing treasure cards and acquiring levels. Being defeated by a monster results in "bad stuff" which usually involves losing levels and treasure.
Get both the fast, furious gameplay of Munchkin and the fantastic fantasy flavor of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game in one neat package!
Like any Munchkin game, you're killing monsters and stealing their treasure to quickly gain the most power – but now, you play as classes like the Alchemist and the Witch, and fight monsters like the Whispering Tyrant, Ghoul Friday, and Lamashtu, Mother of Monsters!
Along the way, you can join a faction to become an Eagle Knight or a Red Mantis Assassin, and arm yourself with the T-Bone Stake and the Armor of Insults.
But first you'll have to fight your way through all those goblins . . . and kill them and take their stuff.
