Star Munchkin
Munchkin goes to space: fight silly monsters, collect lasers, and backstab your friends to reach level 10.
Who it's for
You know and like Munchkin, or you want a space-themed version for a group that enjoys teasing and betraying each other. Bring a group that can laugh at a bit of mischief.
Not for you if…
You dislike backstabbing or long, chaotic endings. Players can gang up on the leader, and the last level can drag.
Vibe's take
Loud, argumentative, and full of grinning betrayal. A turn is as much about negotiating as fighting, and the final push to level 10 is always a mess.
About this game
Munchkin in space. You start at level 1 and race to level 10, kicking down doors, fighting monsters, and grabbing treasure. This time you are a Mutant, an Android, or a Cat Person, wielding Lasers, Vibroswords, and Nova Grenades against things like Fanged Fuzzballs and the Brain in a Jar. The rules are the standard Munchkin ones, with new twists such as Sidekicks, and it mixes freely with any other Munchkin set. The humor is a satire of role-playing clichés, and the heart of the game is that you can always ruin someone's day by playing a card on them. Expect arguments, bargaining, and loud laughter. Can run long when everyone is being nasty.
