Summary: Not a book a game but WHAT A GAME!
Review: ...this card game is simple, fun and a riot for any person who has ever played D & D,In Munchkin you are dealt a hand of cards. Each player starts off as first level, you play items and draw cards, and when you see a monster you fight it, and what monsters, The Potted Pland, the Drooling Slime, the Plutonium Dragon, the stoned Ogre, you get the idea. You are helped by items such as Don the Horny Helmet, Boots of Butt-Kicking, the singing and dancing sword, but beware, the people you play with might help the monsters to help themselves to your treasure. They may help you instead, for a price that is. It is very simple, if the strength of your weapons and level combined are higher than the monsters level (enhanced by your foes) you win and get treasure cards and go up a level or you can buy a level for 1000 gold by selling items. The game is fast paced and very tounge - in - cheek. The maker says it "captures the essence of the dungeon experience...with none of that stupid roleplaying stuff." Simple, fast paced and full of fun, buy this one...

Summary: Happy at play
Review: I have played this with co-workers, and with relatives at Thanksgiving and holidays. Very fun, a little irreverent, but I am a huge fan and convert. Good for ages 6 to 60. Not sure after that.

Summary: Treachery at its best!
Review: Many games make you covertly work against your friends. Munchkin doesn't. Munchkin lets you openly, blatently mess up your opponents in the most in-your-face manner I've ever seen. This is a no holds barred, every man for himself celebration of rules mongering and loopholes. The game mocks D&D and celebrates its simplest form at the same time. What D&D geek doesn't remember sitting around a table, or in the basement, crawling through a dungeon - just bashing down the doors and fighting everything that moves? Munchkin works in exactly the same way. Each round, you bash down the door, fight whatever is inside, and move on to the next room. All the while, players can help or hinder their party, as whomever reaches 10th level first wins. You might not want to stab everyone in the back, though, because you just might need to use them to finish first. Munchkin is a lot of fun for old-school gamers and new fans of the genre alike. Light in rules and fast in play, Munchkin is great as an attraction at small parties or large gatherings. Probably played best with more than 4 people.

Summary: Munchkin
Review: Munchkin is a game of going down in a dungeon and killing things. I am a hard core D&D fan and this is the funniest and strangest card game I have ever played. With cards like the dreaded Plutonium dragon, Gazibo, and the always deadly pottet plant. You and up to six friends all start the game at level 1 and try to reach 10 befor the other players. Players take turns playing cards like class, race, weapons, armor, and potions. If your level and bonuses equal more than the monsters level (or equels it if your a warrior) you kill it and you go up one or two levels and get a number of treasure cards. The catch is that the other players can help or hinder you in combat. I would also recomend gettting the two expainshions for this game. I would also recomend all the other spin offs. You can even combine them and have a really fun time by adding in the blender cards. Play this game with up to 6 people as much as posable its even more fun.
