Steve Jackson Games - Munchkin: Warhammer 40000 - Board Game, for players aged 14+

Great game, my friends all enjoyed it but the backstabbing almost turned us into life long enemies. I started the game level 1 and ended it level one. I have never felt more betrayed by my friends, 10/10 would play again.

Munchkin is a great Dungeons and Dragons parody game, full of quirky humour and adorable graphics on the cards. This is a must game for any would-be geek/nerd.(Please note that the base game can be bought without the deluxe version, it just depends if you want the extras or not.)This version of Munchkin provides the base game card deck with character cards, 6 coloured plastic character tokens and a very simple 1-10 board to illustrate game progression. As mentioned you can buy it without the board or extras but play is a little more straight forward with them. There is space in the box to add in expansions but it could get messy. Thankfully each expansion to Munchkin is identifiable on the cards (you might have to scan through the deck to check).The game is both simple to dive into and great fun with great replayabilty. If you are a stickler for rules they come with the game and are dowloadable from the official Munchkin website. You play as a "Munchkin", who for all purposes is a generic treasure hunting Human character. Equip him/her with armour and weapons, change them into a thief or a cleric or wizard etc and even change their race from Dwarf to Elf and so on, using cards you have from your hand. Then "knock" on a door to find out what is in the next dungeon. The aim of the game is to get your character to level 10, simply by battling and defeating monsters. Of course it isn't as simpe as have more power than said monster. Find a monster who is too powerful to defeat and you can use potions/spells or abilities or even call on a friend (who may or may not help). Or maybe you can easily defeat the monster, in which case your friend could chose to help the monster defeat you. Things get ugly as you get closer to winning and it's never as straight forward as have the most powerful character. What I love is that even if someone is miles ahead they can come crashing down very easily.Game times can vary from 10mins to 1 hour. The more people you have the more competitive and longer the games can last. My experience has been that the various add ons are well worth a look and don't forget to checkout forums and other online stuff for variant rules etc.Buy this if:1) You like quirky role playing games that make fun of the genre2) You have more than 2 friends as above3) Even if you don't like the above but want something different from Monopoly or Trivial pursuit4) You may be willing to lose hours playing and replayingDon't buy this if:1) You have no sense of humour2) You really don't have more than 1 other friend3) Monopoly is you favourtie game ever and there's nothing to beat it...

Back when I was a kid, everyone played cards. Texas Hold 'Em, Magic: the Gathering, Pokémon, you name it. Then came Munchkin. Within two weeks, we'd gone from curious about a card game that apparently took the mickey out of every single fantasy novel, RPG and tabletop game in existence, to completely hooked. We played loads, and I personally owned a copy of the great-but-less-fantastical Munchkin Fu within the year.Fast-forward a good seven or eight years, and I'm about to go on holiday. We're taking a few things to do, and Munchkin had popped back up in my Amazon surfing habits recently. I went for it, and could not stop talking about the thing until it arrived. At which point, I kept on talking about it.Munchkin is simple - two decks, Door and Treasure. A levelling system that for once makes sense, and an element of sabotage that will have you cursing the names of your friends as you laugh and plot your own methods of taking them down a peg. From bizarre monsters to hilariously cliché weaponry and items, it's a good laugh and I strongly recommend a large group of players for the ideal amount of laughter and curses.Do make sure you take care of the deck though - the die is fairly robust (and well designed, the one is a Munchkin face), but the cards are fickle, so either use protectors or don't chuck it in your school/work bag without a thought for the horrible bent format you'll retrieve them in.If you're tired of the endless depth of RPGs, then by all means support Steve Jackson and pals and show the world that fantasy roleplaying games don't have to be a serious and self-important as most people would have you believe. A giggle, and a triumph.

I'm not a typical or regular board game player, and this is definitely something I would previously have passed on - however this game is tons of fun!I was persuaded to give this a go for the holiday period by a family member and so bought it.It did initially seem a bit of boring to get into as the rules are so long and many, however once we got through this initial section the fun started.The game can be played by just 2 people but I would recommend 4-6 people.The aim of the game is to reach level 10. You can do this by working together or by ganging up on other players to get them out of the game.Think of a more adversarial version of monopoly!I would definitely recommend this for anyone wanting some fun,

El juego en sí es muy divertido, su humor, específico para la subcultura geek, es hilarante, se aprende fácil y se siente fresco cada juego.Esta versión tiene un tablero que hace que no se requiera usar contador de nivel.Esta versión viene con peones de cartón, a diferencia de anteriores que venían con peones de plástico, esto hace que no parezca valer lo que cuesta.

Excelente, llegó incluso antes de lo esperado

Riktigt roligt spel om man gillar kortspel

El juego llegó a tiempo y en perfectas condiciones

Siempre me ha encantado los juegos de Munchkin. Sin duda, esta versión me gusta muchísimo, es muy graciosa, divertida y dinámica. Siempre juégalo con amigos que en verdad disfrute jugar juegos de mesas.
