Munchkin!

capnjack

So, anyone interested in playing Munchkin at PAX? Did anyone play it last year?

seraphex

Or we can play Munchausen and spend the weekend in the hospital!

Hmm, I may be up for Munchkin if there's a lull in the action long enough to warrant it.

To me, Munchkin's a fun game when you've got nothing else to do... but there's probably others who like it much more than I do.

I am definatly bringing my Munchkin and apples to apples. I was thinking of doing them at our hotel though, like when waiting to play rock band.

GodOfCheese

munchkin, yes! :-)

I don't know what the hell you guys are talking about. I have an idea. Am I right?

Apples to Apples is loads of fun, helps to be inebriated though.

I'm in on the Munchkin, if only to try it without having to play with my friends who take it far too seriously. Like, they wanted to write a "rules clarification" guide so that they could have clearly defined turn phases and card-precedence rules.

Yeah, waaay too seriously.

But... but... that's one of the best parts of Munchkin! Arguing over whether the card placement is valid/effective! The rules are vague for a reason, and in those limited rules they clearly state:

When the cards disagree with the rules, follow the cards. Any other disputes should be settled by loud arguments with the owner of the game having the last word.

Which I guess means your friend(being the owner) can have the last word and issue such a guide... but it's kind of against the spirit of the game. If you want a deterministic card game, go play Uno. Munchkin is all about interpretation, and it is awesome.

Ok I played alot of munchkin at PAX. All you have to do to get a game going is to walk into the freeplay game room and declare "Does anyone want to play munchkin?" and pick the first 5 people who say yes. Alot of people know how to play, and if they dont they will be interested and will play anyway. Dont worry about getting a game or not.

Thank you very much! This is great advice, and I'll definitely do that at PAX.

I'll happily play Munchkin to the degree I'd play any game, but I tend to find that Munchkin is overlong and unbalanced and usually turns into a chore before the game concludes. I'll be bringing a San Juan and a Race for the Galaxy deck for some alternatives that I'm sure nobody has never heard of because lets be honest the one note D&D joke goes a long fucking way in the nerdosphere.

Damn I should split that last sentence up to make it comprehensible.

I'm making a note of bringing Munchkin to PAX, but I agree that it might get a little lengthy for such a fully-packed weekend. We shall see.

Belruel

munchkin is such a fun game

Dee Kae

I saw a huge game going last pax and want in on it this time around.

Any or all, it's on.

I just played my first munchkin game last night...Want to do it again...so count me in.

And I'm all for drunken A to A in a hotel room one night

This line made me think of the last scene in Requiem for a Dream... I need to get my head out of the gutter.

That said though, I'd be down for both Munchkin and Apples to Apples, drunk or sober. Also: fluxx. I picked up the zombie version a few weeks ago but I'm yet to find a group to play it with.

EDIT: and lunch money, if i can find my old deck

The Geek

Munchkin is great.

Also, The Great Dalmuti is very fun.

apotheos

Munchkin is not great.

Someone make a great gag D&D game so the people can understand this.

requiem for a dream... "shudders" Labyrinth will never be the same...

Zombie flux sounds cool, never played it before, only the original.

Anyone bringing the non-standard munchkins, like Munchkinthulu?

Pls. I was introduced to it at PAX last year. The family's been playing it regularly since. We just bought Cthulhu at SakuraCon in fact.

Miss_Crystal

I will totally play Munchkin!

I'm going out right now to buy another set (since an ass of an ex-boyfriend decided he needed to keep my entire deck!)

I'll admit: I had never heard of this game before lurking here waiting for the forum registration to be fixed. That said, I am now completely obsessed with the idea of it and am trying to convince my Saturday gaming friends to let us put Arkham Horror on hold so I can try Munchkin out sometime.

I'm all in for games at PAX whether I get to play before then or not.
