A guy at work brought it in and we played it at lunch and still do every now and then. It's pretty fun and simple.

I own it, but I don't recall playing recently. Last I recall was sitting around drunk with the roommates playing a couple summers ago in college...

Still, awesome fun and good concept for the first few years I had it.

I love those games.

My girlfriend owns Munchkin Fu and its expansion (haven't used the expansion yet). I think it's a blast.

I also enjoy the tile game ZOMBIES!!! (3 exclamation points). It's a bit more complicated but also very fun.

Anyone play any of the other games like Munchkin Fu or Star Munchkin?

Is it like dungeons and dragons type stuff, or is it a game that anybody could enjoy?

Yeah, I believe we play with 2-3 expansions...some better than others. I think I prefer the more..regular...packs. Star gets a little too weird with all the stacking guns and the lackies and whatnot.

I love the game, we play it every now and then when there's nothing going on.

Kneepads and elf FTW (they're the ones that get a level too, right?)

It's like a spoof of Magic, D&D, etc. Hard to explain. There are rules, but they are rather loose.. great party game.

Everyone can enjoy it.

Basically it's a card game (D&D type characters) were you have to raise levels by defeating monsters. You play with 3-6 players and you play againsts each other..... ie when you are fighting a monster any of the other players can help or hinder you. To gain levels you must defeat a monster and after combat you get to collect any treasure (money or items).

The first person to level 10 wins (now they have an expansion to level 20).

It's a very interactive game and it's fun to mess with other players.

Cheers,
Aquaman.
