MAGE

The backstabbing dungeon crawling monster killing card game, Munchkin is a quick game that is a parody of DnD. The goal of the game is to get to level 10 while keeping your “party” from doing the same. You level by killing monsters while gaining their loot. Sounds prety normal until your gender changing half dwarf attacks some sort of cube thingy. Its fun and you will play. MWHAHAHAHA!
Average Game Time: 15- 30 minutes

Players: 3 to 6

Edit: Our Gaming Chair forgets that each of the incarnations of Munchkin are compatible and have expansions, allowing for even bigger, stranger genre-bending games. In this spirit, there will be two Epic Games of Munchkin this week, Wednesday at 2 and Friday around 4. Come, Kill the monsters, take their stuff, stab your buddy in space, in a kimono, as a third-vampire third-bug third-elf mystic/warrior with flight and the Unnatural Axe in one hand and the Naginata of Increasing Skill in your other two, thanks to your Monkey Kung Fu, all the way to level 20! These games typically last quite a bit longer, as they allow for groups of well past 6 players and can take a long time, increasing game times out to 2, 3 or more hours, depending on how crazy things get. So, if that spikes your interest, come, play, win! If you just want to get your feet wet, I can do that as well and have a fairly “normal” game of Munchkin as well, using one box of your choice from those I have and will be bringing, whether it’s the original, Munchkin Bites (based off of World of Darkness), Munchkin Fu (derived from Hong Kong films and other martial arts paraphanalia), Star Munchkin (for the Scifi-geek, whether a Trekkie, devoted Jedi or otherwise) or Super Munchkin (giving Marvel and DC a run for their money). So come, play, have fun. Hope to see you there!
