Board game Munchkin. Pups

The game "Munchkin" is a localization of the board card game Munchkin. In Russian, the game, no matter how hard you try, takes on a new sound, but remains as gambling, dynamic and malicious. Role-playing mockery, according to simple, but sometimes deliberately vague rules, exposes noble elves, wise magicians, brave warriors and hairy halflings to ridicule. Clerics fight with undead, thieves cut off their rivals in the midst of battle, giant Calmadzillas and vile Facesuckers strive to poison or take away the heroic lives of your munchkins, but in a relaxed manner, without long speeches and numerous rolls of dice common in D&D, GURPS and other equal lofts. .

So, the board game "Munchkin" is a role-playing game in form, a parody in content. Players' munchkins walk through the dungeon, drag out the monstrous inhabitants there and either repent of it or receive new levels and treasures for victory. The outcome of each such adventure (battle, in short) depends on who went into battle with what. For the player, this is the level and bonuses/penalties from items, class, race and curses. For a monster, this is a level plus booster cards and one-time items. Where did the monster get his clothes? Envious rivals can also take part in your battle: they can help the monster and weaken you. Therefore, although “Munchkin” can be played with two people, recruit more people for the match: you will have more curses, amplifiers and potions on hand, which can so easily change the balance of power in battle in any direction, and vigilant envious people will not allow any of you to go out in sole leaders of the race to the 10th victory level.

When created, the Munchkin board game was aimed at a youth audience familiar with role-playing games. However, you can play the game "Munchkin" at any age, except for the very tender ones, at which some of Steve Jackson's jokes may seem too salty. And so a fantasy adventure with masculine/feminine heroes, incredible situations, indescribably creepy unspeakable monsters and huge treasures will appeal to anyone with a broad outlook and a healthy sense of humor.

How to play?

At the beginning of the game, players start as ordinary people of their gender (yes, there is even a gender difference in the game!) of the first level. On your turn, you knock down the door, that is, turn over the top card of the deck of doors, and fulfill the conditions written on the card. If this is a monster card, then you are out of luck and will have to engage in battle with it. When the player's power is greater than or equal to the monster's power, then the player wins and can take as many treasure cards as indicated on the monster card. During the battle, other players can help a friend and engage in battle with him, or interfere and in every possible way strengthen the emerging enemy. If a player wins a battle, he gains one level. During the game, players will take on different classes and professions, change their gender, put on different clothes, drink suspicious potions, and fight a wide variety of monsters!

How to expand the deck?

The main feature of the Munchkin board game is its diversity.

You can come across a wide variety of Munchkin settings, and they can all, and even need to be mixed with each other! Learn new martial arts, try on a pirate headband, go on a space journey - your games will become more diverse and interesting, you will meet unexpected monsters on your way, but, of course, you will find something to strike back with!

Who won?

Everything is very simple, the winner is the munchkin who was the first to reach level ten by hook or by crook.
