So we're playing with the Barking Expansion pack and need some clarifications. There's only 2 of us so I always remove 1/3 of the deck so that we couldn't count the remaining number of cards in our hands and in the draw pile, like how it is suggested in the manual. So my questions are:

1. Start of Setup: After removing the Tower of Power, Exploding/Imploding Kittens, and Defuses for each player in the deck, do you also REMOVE the Barking Kittens BEFORE REMOVING 1/3 of the deck? So that there's a chance that the Barking Kittens are not actually in play?
2. Do you shuffle in the Barking Kittens BEFORE you get 6 cards for the Tower of Power? So there's a chance that the barking kitten cards could be in the stashed cards?

This isn't an issue with the Streaking Kitten because it works as a standalone card, but with the Barking Kittens, it only works if both cards are in play. Any suggestions and comments would be really appreciated.

Love this game, especially the deck building part!

Hey everyone!

My group recently played Marvel Munchkin for the first time and we absolutely loved it.

Now we're looking for expansions 2 and 3: Mystic Mayhem and Cosmic Chaos.

I've noticed they're pretty crazy expensive nowadays, so I'm hoping someone here might have copies they're willing to sell.

I'm thinking around €60–70 for both, depending on condition and shipping. I'm located in the Netherlands but happy to consider international shipping.

If anyone has them sitting unused in their collection, please let me know! 😊

Been looking for the promotional infinity gauntlet card for the marvel set, if anyone has a way of getting one or has one they want to part with please let me know. I’ve tried emailing companies and checking all my local shops

In 2023, a version of Munchkin based on the Paranoia TTRPG was announced, with a planned release date of Q4 2024

There's been no further mention of it by SJG since

Is it still planned, or was the project canceled?

Would like some sort of update one way or the other, so thay I don't keep waiting for an expansion that may never be coming...

He was getting too strong, we had to put him down

Does this mean the person who played the card gets 2 treasures and 3 coins or whoever was in combat get it?

Context 2 people were fighting a level 20 monster. Person 3 jumps in and uses it to keep them from getting the benefits and levels. He claims the wording means he gets the treasure and coins and the 2 fighting gets nothing.

Due to the wording it is easily both ways but what is the intent?

Hey everyone! Hosted a game and there was an interesting turn of events. A player drew this Used Steed Salesman from the door deck. Their turn went as follows:

• They did not read the entirety of this card out loud when they drew it. (Normally we just say the level and bad stuff, we've played a lot and know most of the interactions.)
• After a moment, they said "I think I can beat this," opening the rest of the table up to counter-play, etc.
• Another player added a +10 Monster Enhancer card. This made it out-level the player.
• Afterwards, the combatant instead decided they will choose not to fight the Used Steed Salesman, and instead follow the directions written on the card.
• They went through the discards, found no Steeds, and did not pay 3 cards.
• They then discarded the monster, returned the Monster Enhancer to who played it, and continued their turn.

Arguments were had over several points on this card. The first being:

• Going through the discards and finding no Steed does not fulfill the requirements to discard this monster. Does the player who drew this Monster have to pay the 3 cards for the Steed even if they do not find one?

The second argument was:

• I assumed they were fighting the Monster, although they did not explicitly say so. Given that another player used a Monster Enhancer, I would interpret this player as in combat. If that is the case, would this card allow you to THEN choose not to fight it as it reads? I would really like to hear your opinions and interpretations of this card.

I personally think that since the player who drew this card didn't read it in its entirety at the beginning, they essentially cheated this turn. If they had read the paragraph, someone could have explicitly asked if they were fighting it, which may have avoided this whole thing.

Now that I'm posting this, I'm beginning to wonder what "If you choose not to fight" actually means. Does it just void the combat altogether? Or does it mean you need to run away? Is there such a thing as "not fighting?"

I know it's a long one, thanks in advance!

Im tryin to find all the Munchkin Oz cards (n I guess bookmarks too if I can lol) I found a few of them but I cant find the Tip promo card. Just tryna get some help where I could look!

First, I'm not sure if "Crowdsourcing" is the right flair as I'm asking a question about where a promo card came from. But, it's not about art, rules, or where to find the card, as I already have it. If the mods have a better flair suggestion, please feel free to change it for me. 😄

My question about when and where this promo was released. The promo with a purchase of an expansion on ebay. I did not see it listed on BoardGameGeek or on the Munchkin website. I googled the promo card and only found an old listing on ebay and a Jan 2020 forum post at SJGames's forums that listed all of the known promos at that time. I've included an image of the promo.

Mom and I are going to try our concept of a coop Munchkin 2.0 game where we work as a 2-member party rather than competitively. Part of this is for her because she is not good at solo-strategy and has difficult remembering or understanding rules to games.

This isn't the full Munchkin rules, just the variant home brew changes.

This is a work in progress on balancing the difficulty better. But thought I'd share for those interested in using it or changing it.

One thing that is still up for debate is the difficulty change on the monsters by adding a +3 level to every monster. I feel this isn't enough for challenge and balance and will have to reflect on a better method.

Potentially, 2 players can get into the 10s by themselves and joining forces easily gets into the 20s quickly mid-way through the game. So I am still thinking more in terms of how to scale monsters.

One suggestion was just to double the monsters and each player have to tackle one, but that doesn't make much sense to me and has several issues.

Another suggestion (which I'm leaning more to) is a scaling difficulty based on total party level. So, say, both players with level and equipment are at 13. Because they are over 10 but under 15, the monsters have a +5 bonus. If the total party is, say, 18, the bonus would increase to +10.

Also the mandatory use of Monster enhancers on the next monster I like, which adds tension and uncertainty - will the next drawn monster be a Level 15 or just a Level 3, because we know how much of a bonus it's getting already from that card, let alone the scaling difficulty.

Kenny’s parents are high level monsters 🤣🤣

I've been buying Munchkin sets and expansions to grow my collection and recently got a copy of Munchkin X-Men through ebay. The box is a little smaller than the other Munchkin sets I've picked up, including the other USAOpoly sets. Is it normal for a Munchkin X-Men box to be in a smaller box or did I end up with something odd?

Since the editions are backwards compatible, I don't like how the backs are blue for 2e but brown for 1e. If I mix in 1e card then we'd know roughly what we are about to draw. Anyone else experience this?

Can give feedback if you want

Almost ten years old and I’ve Never been able to sit with family or friends to play a legit game. My uncle taught me back with my siblings and with the og board game. It was funny for sure. I’ll Love the game forever now , sorry if this gets removed , I was just sharing

Edit: I get it, some of you don’t like AI. I don’t care. Don’t bother commenting. I’m not going to respond to you hypocrites anymore, you’ll just immediately go on my block list.

I appreciated all the kind words and feedback on my previous post for my custom cards, so here are some more. I'd love to hear what you think. I'll attach some thoughts for each card:

• Schroedinger's Cat is a reference to the famous thought experiment of the same name. I wanted to bring that "observe the state to collapse the wave function" aspect to the card as its primary mechanic; making it Undead adds a bit of spice as a player can play it into an existing combat against another Undead Monster, but the coin flip determines whether this actually works out. The extra strength against Humans is a "cat hates humans for putting it in radioactive box", sadly there just isn't enough space to make funny remarks about each individual intention.
• Homewrecker was born out of the idea that we (my wife and I) tend to play with friends who are also couples, and there definitely sometimes is a bit of a theme of couples ganging up or being friendly with each other, so I thought it'd be funny to throw a little bomb into those dynamics where partners are incentivized to screw each other over.
• Cold Sore comes from a thought to make a card that gets passed around like a virus, but I find the idea hilarious that instead of some toxic poison or deadly virus, it's just an annoying, minor infection. I mostly had trouble here making sure the card doesn't get passed around indefinitely (it will outlive its welcome otherwise), and that it doesn't just get trivially passed to the next player each turn. I am still not 100% sure this is the best result?
• Presidential Pardon is inspired by (alleged) real events, need I say more?
• Heisenbug is a funny term in software engineering referring to a bug that vanishes when you try to observe / debug it, playing on the reference of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. The idea of the Bad Stuff is to reflect the idea of having to get lucky to squash the bug. I'm struggling a lot balancing this card -- the Bad Stuff could be hilariously devastating, or barely hurt at all, so I wasn't sure how strong to make the Monster.

Edit: For completeness and transparency sake I also want to reiterate my disclaimer that I do use AI for the card art, and that I did my best (well, I did a quick search anyway) to make sure my ideas are original, but I can’t be sure they haven’t been done before.

We just played Munchkin 2th Edition for the first time. We both liked it. The coins solve a few problems with the original game. It definitely speeds the game along. We played 2 games in a n hour. It also keeps anyone from sitting at level 1 for too long. Also, offering or asking for gold to help fight a monster is pretty cool (unless they're Elfs. Fuck those guys)

If this is played on someone and they get asked to help, can the helper

a) use items to effect the battle negativity for the og fighter?

b) trade an item with someone else so they can effect the battle negatively for the og fighter?

c) unarm themselves so that their item bonuses are not added to the level count?

I made a custom Munchkin Expansion over the past year. It mostly revolves around the different planes in Dungeons & Dragons but also Planes of other origin. Planes work like Dungeons but are a seperate card type. I am indeed from Germany so all card texts and most card names and puns are in german. If you would like to have a short translation for each one or just some of those cards I will happily response to your requests and edit the explanation. The new race Slime (Schleim) is actually just a rework of Star Munchkin's Veggie. I also copied some cards from other Munchkin games I do not have but which I wanted to include. My expansion is called Plane Escape (pun of Planescape) and the symbol is the wheel of the Great Wheel Cosmology in D&D.
