So we own a lot of Munchkin versions...we have played a lot of versions. There are some great ones out there and this is just a fun game as the cards are plain silly. For us, one main issue is that this does NOT play well at two player. So we don't play it a lot on our own because, well, why...there are so many games that DO play well at 2 and this isn't one of them. What this is is a great game for a group. We've just recently played this is twice with 6 players and once at 4. This reminded me of why I enjoy the game. That it is very fun in a large group where you can take turns helping/hurting each other's character. You also see a lot of cards, which is nice, as they are half the fun. We played Cthulhu, Star and Christmas.
What I was reminded of tonight (Star Munchkin in case you were wondering) is one thing I don't like about the game, at any level. That eventually you are all at about 8 and 9...and someone will win...and it is just a waiting game on who it is because you are waiting for someone to get a low enough monster that no one can stop them...and the game often goes on a round or two more than it "needs" to while you wait for this to happen. And most of the table is just wanting SOMEONE to win, they don't care who anymore....and that isn't fun. So for me, the first 90% is super fun...and the last bit is just kind of like "get it over with." I wish there was a way to get rid of that last little bit.
