We love Munchkin in this family. If we could we just might play it every other day. As it is I use it as an incentive to get August and Dela to stop fighting and get ready for school in the morning. And it’s working pretty well. Most days.
There are so many varieties and expansions to the card game – it is easy to get sucked down the rabbit hole of getting everything. As it is we don’t have nearly as much as we would like, but certainly enough to have plenty of enjoyment.
Here is what we have so far (in addition to some extras like bookmarks, coins, playing fields, etc.):
Munchkin Booty core set
Munchkin Booty 2 expansion
Fish & Ships booster pack
I’m considering getting another Fish & Ships booster (primarily just to have more sharks to play with).
Munchkin original core set
Munchkin 2 through 6 expansions
Several booster packs:
Dragons
Gets Promoted
The Guild
Penny Arcade
Conan (not the standalone core set)
Easter Eggs
Skullkickers
Tricky Treats
I need to pick up the Munchkin 8 expansion – I’ve got a Princess booster pack and the Munchkin 7 expansion on order which should arrive later this week. I don’t have any of the Christmas themed boosters and I’m not terribly interested in getting them. No, I am not quite sure why.
Munchkin Legends core set
Munchkin Legends 2 expansion
Dragons booster pack (because it’s fun)
Munchkin Legends 3 is going to be available very shortly and I’ll be picking that up as well.
For the original Munchkin game with all of the expansions and boosters we try to keep that one for playing Epic Munchkin, where players work towards level 20 instead of level 10. More rules are added in to make it more… epic. August likes to refer to that game as Munchkin Kablooie. With that game we add in the coins and bookmarks as well. If you’ve played more than a couple of games of Munchkin you’ll understand what I’m referring to.
We used to have Munchkin Quest in the house but when Kyle moved out the game moved out with him. I will have to order that soon as well. And Munchkin Adventure Time. Munchkin Panic is another game coming out soon that I’m interested in getting. Actually there are a lot of variants that I’d like to pick up, spy themed, old west themed, Cthulu, zombies, science fiction and more.
Munchkin isn’t the only game we play in the house, but at times is sort of feels like it.
