Steve Jackson Games - Munchkin - Board Game

Product Information

Other cards that can enter play include Items, which can be used in combat, Treasure Cards, which act as sellable loot and equipment, and Curse Cards, which apply effects. Additionally, players can equip certain cards (such as armor and weapons) to raise their total level and kill stronger monsters, and can use Class Cards and Race Cards to grant extra abilities or advantages at the cost of a balanced weakness; for example, the elf race can level when helping others kill monsters, but will take additional damage from disgusting enemies. What makes this edition “deluxe”? It’s got a big gameboard to keep your cards in place, and six colored pawns that you move on the gameboard as you level up! Plus a card to go with each pawn, to make it easy to remember who is what color and whose sex has changed! On a player’s turn, they may play any card from their hand before commencing the first phase of their turn. This can include: A. No. It's not your turn. The card says the original player "resumes his turn," but that doesn't mean it isn't his turn at that moment, just that you've interrupted the sequence of events on his turn.

Munchkin Crazy Cooks (chefs battle in the kitchen; players can gain Levels either by killing monsters OR acquiring & turning in Food Tokens) A. No, you cannot play a Go Up a Level to go to Level 10. This Dungeon does not change the rules for reaching Level 10 (see Important Note #1); it just adds a Level 11 beyond it. Q. If I'm told to draw two cards and keep one but discard the other and one of the cards has an immediate effect does that effect go off?

General Notes

Game Changers (includes Fairy Dust, Fairy Dust Dice, Monster Enhancers, Munchkinomicon, and Reloaded!) Standard games typically last around an hour, with the game ending once a player reaches the target level and wins the match. Aside from defeating monsters, players can progress through indirect means such as selling cards (with every 1000 Gold on the sum total granting a level) or by playing special leveling cards. Most games disallow victory through indirect methods, meaning only fighting a monster can win the game. There are a few exceptions, however, such as when a player uses cards that specifically state they override rules. Munchkin Deluxe is a game of co-operation. Therefore, if you can’t quite beat the Monster that you are fighting you can ask your fellow players for assistance. Of course, you do this for a price! Usually, your best bet will be to agree to divide the treasure you will win from the encounter between whoever is helping you. It is at this stage of the game that your bartering skills will come in useful. If someone agrees to help you, and you defeat the Monster, then you must meet the conditions of the agreement. The player whose turn it is moves up a level for beating the monster, progressing to the next room. However, those who assisted with the encounter do not move up a level. (Unless they have an ability that says otherwise!) This adds another level of strategic decision making for the players.

May 2019 update:We've cleaned up a fair number of things throughout the document. We added one important question about unequipped Steeds, Vehicles, or Ships (short version: you can't) and a few others that don't quite rise to that level of universality. Important Note #0: Cards vs. RulesEquipping a Weapon or Armour piece to add to their combat score. Remember to keep in mind what your character is already using, they only have two hands! Q. I'm a male, but the only Class* cards I have in my hand are female. Can I still play them? If I do, does it change my sex?

A. The rule says you must get "a reasonable time" to respond when another player is winning a fight. What your friends are doing is not reasonable; you should be able to read the card to determine what, if anything, you want to do. On the other hand, you cannot take time during a fight to read every card on the table, contemplate your many (or few) options, or use a card to "discard dive," hoping to find something you can use in the fight. The "2.6 seconds" part of the rule is a joke; the intent is that you cannot hold up the game indefinitely just because someone else is winning, or, conversely, that you cannot immediately declare a win before your opponents can react.

Keep curious crawlers safe.

Munchkin Quest 2 - Looking for Trouble (expansion to allow for six players, plus extra rooms, doors, monsters & cards) A. No. The "change" caused by Freudian Slippers is not an actual sex change for the purposes of cards such as the Revealing Costume. However, if you lose the Slippers and the last sex you declared yourself is different from the sex you were prior to putting on the Slippers, that change will count and add to the Revealing Costume bonus. When you are in combat with more than one monster, you cannot resolve ANY aspect of the combat until ALL monsters are defeated or until the munchkins flee. This means that if you use an ability to make one monster disappear, you cannot claim levels and/or Treasures for beating it (depending on the method used) unless you can then kill or defeat all the remaining monsters. You cannot, for instance, use your Wizard to charm one monster and take its Treasures before fighting the rest. Combat isn't over until the WHOLE combat is over. Q. Does the "reasonable time rule" apply to defeating a monster without killing it, or just to killing it?
