Steve Jackson Games Munchkin 2nd Edition

All about the product

25 years when doors are kicked down and friends are betrayed! After 25 years of kicking down doors and fighting monsters, Munchkin Second Edition arrives! Here you will find your favorite jokes and monsters, but there are also new innovations. The essence of the game remains the same, but this version is played faster, and preparation has become simpler. A new mechanic for gold coins allows you to get a return when selling items, bribing other players, and even leveling up faster. Each player is given information cards, so there’s no need to share the rulebook. All illustrations, including the box, game board, and cards, have been updated by the original Munchkin artist John Kovalic. The best part - this version is compatible with the previous edition, and the rules provide guidelines for using the first edition cards.Embark into the dungeon. Defeat all the monsters you encounter. Betray friends and take their treasure!Munchkin is a crazy card game about dungeon adventures that doesn’t require dealing with any complicated role-playing. Defeat monsters, collect magical items, and level up. Put on the Horned Helmet, wear the Boots of Butt-Kicking and grab the Staff of Napalm or Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment. Start with the innocent Pot Plant or Slimy Slime and carve your way to the Plutonium Dragon!Updated design and more convenient playMore clear icons have appeared on the cards, helping to understand their functions faster. Colorful card back designs make it easier to distinguish the different types of cards - blue is for Door cards, and yellow is for Treasure cards.Updated game boardJohn Kovalic has redrawn the game board. Players start at the top and go down towards the coveted level 10 and the ultimate victory.Player information cardsMunchkin Second Edition has six player information cards - one for each player color. They allow you to see quickly who plays which color, reducing the need to consult the rulebook frequently.Real (fake) gold coinsNow sold items allow you to get a return, so you can level up faster. Coins can also be used to bribe other players, make more beneficial trades, or even buy an extra level. Or just hoard them - because you never know when you might need a little extra gold.Faster game setupAfter choosing a player color, shuffle the marked starting cards. Deal one Door card and two Treasure cards to each player. Shuffle the remaining starting cards into the appropriate decks, and each player receives five 100 gold coins. Everyone starts under similar conditions and can immediately begin to fight (small) monsters.Listen at the door - and get a reward!Once you start your turn, you may take one 100 gold coin and one face-down card from the Door or Treasure deck. After combat, it's time to Loot the Room - instead of the usual Treasure card, you can roll the dice and take as many coins as you rolled. Sometimes luck can be just as valuable as good treasure!Who said you have to fight alone?Munchkin Second Edition introduces an updated victory rule. If you aim for level 10, you can ask one player for help. If you win the fight, you share the victory - no matter what level, role, or other stats the helper has.Kick down doors, kill monsters, steal treasure, and betray friends!Munchkin Second Edition is full of rule improvements that make the game faster, clearer, and even more chaotic. Gather friends or foes and find out who will be the first to reach level 10!
