Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I really love the Munchkin card games. My gaming group, between us, own five of the different genres of the game. One of my friends bought this game and its expansion. We've played it a few times now and I have to say, I just don't like it as much as the card games. It's a good concept, but a few glaring problems make it far less fun in my opinion.
Pros:
-Well made. Everything feels like a good quality piece. Everything you need is there and it doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart on you.
-Rules are similar enough to the card game that anybody with experience with the cards will pick up this version very quickly.
-Simple, and mostly intuitive, rules. And if you make a small mistake it won't ruin everybody's experience.
Cons:
-Individual turns can be time consuming. If one person has ways of making extra moves beyond the base three then that turn can take forever. This is especially true if they don't stop to loot rooms and just fight monster after monster after monster while laying down more and more tiles that nobody else is going to bother entering because there's no longer anything there to fight. This is a real problem because...
-...there is far less player interaction in the board game than there is in the card game. Unless you are next to a person there are only so many things you can do to another player. This makes it more like each individual playing their own game and seeing who can win first, rather than everybody playing a single boardgame. For example, I've played in a game where a player went from level six to level 10 and won the game in a single turn. The whole time they were going through the motions to do this there were no actions anybody else could take and nobody could stop them. It was four people sitting around for ten minutes while one person got to play and then it was over. Not fun.
I really wanted to like this game. It just doesn't play as smoothly as the card games and I think it is less fun due to the longer time between turns and the decreased player interactions.

Kill the monster, grab the treasure, stab your buddy. That's what it's all about. Now, Munchkin comes to the boardgame. Cooperate with the whole group, adventure with a partner, or strike out on your own. You don't know what's behind a door until you open it . . . then another tile is added to the dungeon. Battle monsters for power and treasure, or send them after your friends. Reach Level 10, and then get out alive if you can! Designed by Steve Jackson, and illustrated by John Kovalic, this boardgame doesn't take itself seriously. Except for the loot munchkins are always serious about that!
