Objective of the Game

Munchkin is a satirical card game that mimics classic role-playing games. The main objective for players is to reach Level 10 by defeating monsters, collecting treasures, and influencing each other.

Game Components

• Door Cards: These bring monsters, curses, or helpful items into play.
• Treasure Cards: These offer players weapons and equipment to become stronger.
• Six-sided Die (D6): Used for various events and fights.

Game Setup

• Shuffle the two main decks: Door Cards and Treasure Cards.
• Each player starts at Level 1.
• Deal each player four Door and four Treasure cards.

Gameplay

The gameplay revolves around handling each player's turn, divided into five main phases.

1. Kick Down the Door

• Flip over the top Door Card.
• If it's a Monster, prepare for combat.
• For a Curse, it takes effect immediately.
• Otherwise, take the card into your hand.

2. Combat

• Compare your own Level plus bonuses from equipment to the monster's strength.
• If you win, you go up a Level and collect the specified number of Treasure Cards.
• If you lose, you must attempt to run away by rolling the die to avoid the monster's consequences.

3. Loot the Room (if no monster was encountered)

• Draw another Door Card into your hand.

4. Charity

• Players must have a maximum of five cards in their hand. Excess cards go to the player with the lowest level.

5. Observe Other Turns

• Players can interact with each other at any time, offering help in combat or placing curses on others.

Strategies and Tips

End of the Game
