Munchkin (Tabletop Game) | comment |
You are in a dungeon. Also present in this dungeon are monsters and treasure. You have been sent on a holy questnote Well, holy if you’re a cleric, maybe. Which you may be some of the time. to kill the monsters and steal the treasure. Unfortunately, everyone else in your party is trying to do the same thing. Hilarity Ensues.Munchkin is a card game series by Steve Jackson Games. The fundamental rules are simple and easy to learn, but the text on the cards regularly changes the rules. If you keep a sharp eye on what the rules say at this very moment, you will uncover situations where your half-Elf half-Halfling Warrior Cleric can wield four weapons at once, send any monster he fights over to another player instead, and get the treasure from it anyway.This is very Munchkinly. Do it. | |

Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_1117770f | comment |
Actually Four Mooks: "3,872 Orcs" (which only counts as 1 monster), and "Ghoulfiends", 3 of whom are drawn, and referred to as "them." Also some "monsters" in Super Munchkin such as the "Wimpy Thugs" series. Add Munchkin Zombies "3,872 Dorks" as well. Played perfectly straight with the "Four Horsies of the Apocalypse" card in Munchkin Apocalypse. Munchkin Dragons has the Can of Wyrms, a can with about 5 dragon heads sticking out of it. | |

Horsemen of the Apocalypse | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_12c6bf73 | comment |
Munchkin Apocalypse has The Four Horsies of the Apocalypse, who are ponies. Famine's cutie mark is an apple core, and Pestilence's cutie mark is a germ, but Death and War's cutie marks aren't visible. Famine even has Pinkie Pie's color scheme and mane, while Death has Twilight Sparkle's color scheme but her mane is covered by her cloak. | |

Weapon of X-Slaying | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_17d5e071 | comment |
Weapon of X-Slaying: Inverted by the "Sword of Slaying Everything Except Squid". It gives a substantial bonus, but against squid (there are three in the decks so far — karate squid, Squidzilla, and the Laser Squid Nemesis) the fight is automatically lost. Also, the Vorpal Sword states that it gives an extra +10 against any monster starting with J, and to not ask why. Of course, the only monsters with a J are the Jabberwock and Judge Fredd. | |

Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_1c1d21c6 | comment |
Cute Is Evil It's not a fluffy kitty, it's the set's nastiest, most powerful monster. Called 'The Evil'.note After the Satanic kittens in Sluggy Freelance. Also, the My Little Cthulhu doll, which makes it impossible to avoid Joining The Cult And the Perfectly Normal Bunny, which can become "That Bunny" due to a dice roll. The Chibithulhu plushie subverts this, as it can be used in-game to not only get into the Cult, but free yourself from it as well. | |

Gender Bender | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_2d88e42c | comment |
Gender Bender: The "Change Sex" traps. There's also a "Freudian Slipper" that lets you alternate between genders, but if you lose it and you're stuck with the wrong gender, then you're at a disadvantage. And there are Merch T-shirts that, while worn, define your character's sex (which normally starts out as your own). People have been known to layer these. Averted with B-Mo from Adventure Time. If you play as him, you ignore anything that is gender-related. | |

Manipulative Bastard: The best players are always these. Examples of Munchkin bastardry include: "protection rackets" in which a player prevents another player from being able to fight a monster, then offers to sell them defensive cards for a high price; lying to newbies about what their cards do/are worth; and asking a player to help you gang up on another, only to backstab them later. | |

Mind-Control Music: The Bard's Enthrall ability, which can let him force an ally to help him in combat for no reward.

Low-Level Advantage: Some of the more powerful monsters will not chase characters below a certain level, allowing them to automatically run away. The lowest-level player will also receive everyone else's extra cards as Charity. | |

Second Place Is for Winners | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_4b4274e3 | comment |
Second Place Is for Winners: It is somewhat common for games to play out like this. When the player in the lead is close to winning, the other players will gang up on the leader to prevent him/her from winning. Once everyone has used all their cards and abilities to prevent the strongest player from winning, the second strongest player usually has an easier shot at victory. This can also sometimes have elements of a Kingmaker Scenario or Do Well, But Not Perfect. | |

Duel Boss: The Gazebo is treated as one (even though its only level 8). Players must face the Gazebo alone, but said other players can still play enhancers and one shots for either side. The Lich in Adventure Time is a more traditional version. Not only must Players face the Lich alone, but every other player is forbidden from interfering with combat in any way. No enhancers, no one-shots, nothing. | |

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_50727f8d | comment |
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: A player who dies keeps his Class, Race, and Level, instead only losing all of his other cards. He revives at the start of his next turn and even gets a new starting hand of eight cards. However, depending on how the game is going, this can be a variation on Continuing is Painful: levels can pale in comparison to item bonuses. If you have 9 levels, but +25 from items (and also an item that renders you immune to any and all curses, reflecting them on the rest of the party instead), death is severely crippling. | |

Munchkin: The game is designed to be comparable to a normal dungeon crawl, but with the players being this trope by racing to level 10 the fastest. And with a ton of esoteric rules (such as taking advantage of bonuses from the game's merch like t-shirts and bookmarks), there's a ton of opportunity to become a Rules Lawyer-y Munchkin in specific. | |

Bragging Rights Reward: As noted elsewhere, you normally have to kill a monster to gain the winning level except when you get the Divine Intervention card which allows you to gain a level (including the winning level) if you're a cleric. The card grants you the right to mock the other players mercilessly if you win the game this way. | |

Player Elimination | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_5c15399f | comment |
Player Elimination: Generally, players aren't eliminated. If their "character" dies, they simply discard their hand and draw a new one. However, due to Loophole Abuse that dying does not reset a player's levelnote allowing a player with a weak hand or character to essentially get a new, stronger one for free and win the game, there are house rules to permanently eliminate a player if they die. | |

Bribing Your Way to Victory | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_5c17c12f | comment |
Bribing Your Way to Victory: Practically every bit of Munchkin merch can be used to some effect on the game. For instance, The Wicked (a Variant of the standard munchkin die) Dice, which are actually used to track your Character Level and not to generate a random number, come with instructions that say the holder of a die starts the game with a +1 Character Level bonus. There are also level-up cards which notionally involve bribing the GM, notably "Bribe the GM with Food", a common sight in both this and other Role Playing Games. Various bookmarks sold by the publisher themed around marine life enable you to reap rewards... but if and only if you also own the dice set with the same animal theme, since the rules call for that specifically. A bookmark themed around the octopus for example enables the holder to octuple-wield if they roll high enough with octopus dice. And all of this is gleefully lampshaded and parodied, so much that it counts as Reconstruction. In the tabletop version, buying the Dungeonmaster's Guide for your DM earns you 10,000 xp, enough to start 10 levels higher than the rest of the party. Not bribery per se, but donating to one of John Kovalic's charity bike rides will let you start a game at level 3. | |

The card specifies that the new Indian name should be called out loud the instant the card is played, because otherwise the first name called becomes the player's new Indian name. The picture on the card illustrates the perils with a Dork Tower character wearing a "Hello, my name is" card that specifies his name as "Doofus". | |

Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_786bf97f | comment |
Real Life Writes the Plot: Many cards vary by something that applies to you in real life. Your character's sex is alwaysnote there is one case where your character's gender will not be your own at the start — if you are wearing a Munchkin t-shirt (yes, they do make them, and they can be made into some of the most powerful swag), your character starts off as the gender of the munchkin on the shirt, not yours your own (unless you explicitly say otherwise) until a card changes it, and there are cards like the Tommy Gun that give a bigger bonus based on your name. One set has some cards that give bigger advantages to members of the military. While most of Munchkin Zombie has art by John Kovalic, the card "Meals on Wheels" is done by a different artist. Kovalic refused to do the card as he had recently become a father.note The card depicts a pair of baby carriages, with a hungry zombie nearby. Some cards vary in effect based on what day of the week you're playing. Some cards have all of the above conditions applied to them. And then there is "Morning Star" and "Night Star", which grant a slightly bigger bonus if you're playing at a certain time of day! The Pathfinder set has a card that gives a bonus to the monster if the player has a laptop, tablet, or smartphone on the table. Considering the fact that an app was developed specifically to assist players in tracking their combat bonus vs any monster, this gets a fair amount of use. Legends has a monster, Bloody Mary, that gets a bonus if there is a mirror on the table. Similar to Bloody Mary, many Munchkin Marvel supervillains gain abilities based on the playing field; i.e., Mandarin gains power from actual rings the players are actually wearing, Electro gets bonuses from electronic devices, and Absorbing Man gets strength based on the material of the table. Averted by the "Eldest" and "Youngest" roles in Grimm Tidings, which are actual cards you may hold, not the actual oldest and youngest player at the table. When drawing a card other than the role itself that mentions it, players almost always ask their opponents' age. | |

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_7c862b8a | comment |
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Half the fun of the game boils down to this. There's a reason the tagline's third part reads "Stab Your Buddy". A fair chunk of the cards serve no purpose except to screw with other players. Cards that give one-time bonuses to combat are common. Cards that let you choose which side to give bonuses to are rare. Help or hinder, the choice is yours. | |

Too Awesome to Use | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_7d561d58 | comment |
Too Awesome to Use: The Annihilation card permanently removes one card from the game. Try to find the perfect card to use it on. The four blank cards that come with Cheat With Both Hands. They're intended to let you make up your own outrageous items and enemies, but there's a very big chance that whatever you come up with one day will be less awesome when it actually comes into play. The Munchkin resurrection cookie enables you to resurrect your character if you eat it. The cookie had a limited production time and wasn't sold (only given to associates of Steve Jackson Games). Because you cannot eat a cookie that's already been consumed and no more will ever be made, anyone who owns it should hold off on using it until a perfect moment (or, at least, a very funny moment). | |

Exactly What It Says on the Tin | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_8409a385 | comment |
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The Cheat card. And the Level-Up card. And the Curse/Trap card. And.. well... you get the point. In short, every card in the entire game does exactly what it says on the tin. This is even stated in the rules. And if a card would break the rules or some rules set by another card, the new card overwrites those! A lot of those cards, though, come with the added benefit of being incredibly vague, which leads to some less than intended uses for certain cards (such as forcing another player to go up a level during combat to prevent them from escaping from a powerful enemy that'll have them for breakfast). | |

Massive Race Selection | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_892c241c | comment |
Massive Race Selection: Munchkin has loads of races by now, due to its many expansions and editions which can all be combined: The original had humans (the standard-race for every player), dwarfs, elves and halflings The expansion packs gave orcs, lizard guys, centaurs and gnomes. Munchkin Bites added changelings, vampires, werewolves and, with the Pants Macabre expansion, mummies Munchkin Conan added Cimmerians, Stygians, Kushite and Zamorians Munchkin Legends had the standard dwarves, elves and halflings and added fauns Star Munchkin added cyborgs, felines, mutants and, with the The Clown Wars expansion, bugs And all of those races can be combined with the Half Breed card, so a character can easily be half-dwarf, half-cyborg or half-Cimmerian, half-Faun. | |

The true Infinity +1 Sword is the Plot Device from Super Munchkin. When played, it says "You are now winning the combat by 1, no matter how much you were losing by before." If, in theory, you were losing by infinity, this would actually provide a literal Infinity Plus One bonus. (Of course, people can still play more cards afterward to make you lose anyway.) | |

Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_afc52a86 | comment |
Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Half the fun of the game is trying to make your character as awesomely ridiculous as possible. Half-Breed and Super Munchkin cards deliberately invoke this trope, letting you combine races and classes respectively. Combining different themed decks increases it. Incidentally, with the right combination of sets and cards, you can be a Ninja Pirate Zombie Cyborg. Things like Accents and Nationalities (the former are from Munchkin Booty, the latter from Munchkin Impossible, and if you're playing both you can have one of each, because they're considered different categories) only add to this. Especially because there's both a British Accent and a British Nationality, they have different powers, and you can be British British. The one aversion is that "race" in Original means a species like Elf or Dwarf, while "race" in Conan means a national origin like Cimmerian or Zamoran, but you cannot have both (without a Half-Breed card) because Race is treated as one category. No Cimmerian Elves. | |

Fate Worse than Death | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_b1346878 | comment |
Fate Worse than Death: Since Death Is Cheap, replacing the dead's hand and items with eight random new cards, a fair few monsters have Bad Stuff even worse. King Tut forces the discard of everything without the replenishing hand, and the Wight Brothers reduce the player's level to 1. On the other hand, some Bad Stuff has no in-game effect, but can be terrible regardless. If you lose to the level 1 Goldfish, for example, the Bad Stuff is that "all the other players get to mock you". Because you somehow lost to a fish in a bowl. The worst perhaps is Chairman Mao, whose bad stuff not only kills the character but inflicts a Humiliation Conga on the player. | |

Obvious Rule Patch | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_b89ed08a | comment |
Obvious Rule Patch: The game's merch enables players to do some very goofy things, but some limits are still enacted. For example, wearing the official Munchkin shirts enable you to draw an extra card any time you spawn, but the rules on the card say that you cannot benefit from more than one shirt at once, and if you happen to be wearing two Munchkin shirts at once, only the one on the outside provides the reward unless you cheat. And to prevent anyone from trying to Loophole Abuse the "outside shirt only" rule, another rule specifies that the effect only happens when the shirt is on your torso and right-side-out, to prevent shirt-worn-on-legs shenanigans. | |

An Adventurer Is You | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_bcc2f921 | comment |
An Adventurer Is You: You are an adventurer going on a dungeon crawl. You begin the game as a human with no class, but can gain other races and classes later (multiple ones, if you have the right cards). The base races are Human, Dwarf, Elf, and Halfling. The base Classes are Cleric, Fighter, Wizard, and Thief. The expansions and spin-offs add more. | |

Character Level | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_c1c29f00 | comment |
Character Level: The objective of the game is to get to Level 10, or 20 if you are playing Epic Munchkin. There are no Experience Points, though; beating one monster usually gets you one level. Go Up A Level cards are also a staple part of the game. Selling items worth 1000 gold also gives you a level, but you don't get change. Note that players CANNOT attain a winning level by selling or Go Up A Level cards. They must kill a monster or have a card that specifically says that it can grant the winning level. If someone is killed by The Great Cthulu, all other players get to go up a level to mock them. Divine Intervention is a particularly nice card for Clerics, as it lets them go up a level, and if that level is the winning level, they get to mercilessly mock the other players. | |

Continuing is Painful | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_c3d60914 | comment |
Continuing is Painful: Normally averted, as when you die you only discard you item cards whilst keeping your Class, Race, and Level. However, the closer you get to level 10 death becomes a much more dangerous possibility since item bonuses become extremely important as the game goes on. Even if you are one level away from winning, dying and losing all those precious bonuses can quickly set you back severely. | |

Shout-Out | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: All but made of them. Some of the more obvious ones are: Star Munchkin has two of the item 'Time Warp'. Guess what the pictures are doing. Munchkin Cthulhu has the Ozathoth, and the Song of Madness Waltzing Matilda. "G'day, mortal!" "O R'lyeh?" with an owl and "Ia R'lyeh". Judge Fredd. The "Vampire Hunter" in Munchkin Bites is a blond girl in a strangely familiar jacket. A "Bowie Knife" has the word "Ziggy" written on it. "You must fight a Rabbit! However, it's that rabbit, from that movie. And his picture is no one else than Bun-bun. Most Munchkin sets are illustrated by John Kovalic. So, it's a perfectly normal thing that the PCs sighted include Matt, Carson, Ken, and Igor. Dork Tower throws in a reverse Shout-Out here. Pukachu, I—(Vomit Indiscretion Shot)—ew... The Froggoth from Munchkin Cthulhu causes you to suffer Death of Choking On A Giant Frog. The description of the monster Filthy Geats reads "Filthy Geats ain't got no rhythm" and the Bad Stuff starts "Now you're never gonna dance again." One of the expansions to Star Munchkin contains a plasma gun. The picture shows the item in question being carried by Sergeant Schlock. One particular encounter in Star Munchkin is an OGRE cybertank. Another one is an Awful Green Thing. One of the Space Ships in the expansion booster for Star Munchkin is "Horsefly" which grants specific bonuses if you're using it with the cowboy set. Munchkin Apocalypse has The Four Horsies of the Apocalypse, who are ponies. Famine's cutie mark is an apple core, and Pestilence's cutie mark is a germ, but Death and War's cutie marks aren't visible. Famine even has Pinkie Pie's color scheme and mane, while Death has Twilight Sparkle's color scheme but her mane is covered by her cloak. One of the monsters in Munchkin Bites is Mortal Kom Bat. Munchkin Dragons has a few. The Magic Dragon wants to be your friend. If you fight him and lose, he makes one of your levels vanish in a Puff of smoke. Smog. He even lets Halflings take the top card of the treasures when he appears. In Munchkin Pathfinder, among the multitude of goblins is one called the Hobbes Goblin, complete with stuffed tiger and red striped shirt. One of the monsters in Munchkin Shakespeare is Sonnet the Hedgehog. Tequila Mockingbird There's the level 2 Resident Weevil from the Clerical Errors expansion, complete with a picture of a weevil dressed as Jill Valentine. | |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_cc4d190a | comment |
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: The highest level monsters are often deities, demons, and primordial abominations, yet all are perfectly killable if you are prepared enough. Munchkin Cthulhu, Star Munchkin, and Munchkin Apocalypse fully invoke the trope by having the namer himself as a level-20 monster. | |

Beyond the Impossible | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_cc6f4612 | comment |
Beyond the Impossible: Two of the cards that can be played to make combat difficult are Last of Its Race and And Its Clone. They can both be played on the same monster. Mate and Brood, both of which would be rather illogical to play on a monster that had been made Last Of Its Race. Munchkin Cthulhu also adds "...and its Spawn." Or Last Of Its Race and Is Your Father... Or just Is Your Father, period, given some of the monsters you can throw it on. Like a comfy chair. Or the aforementioned 3,872 Orcs. All of them are your father. "Cheat With Both Hands" (the seventh expansion for the main game) is this trope in card game form. Along with the titular card (which lets you cheat for two items), there are cards which provide extra or even unlimited Races and Classes. "Cheat With Both Hands" also added the even more outrageous "Cheat Like There's No Tomorrow" which, until the end of the combat it is played in, allows you to wield every single item you either have in your hand or are carrying! Yes, that means you can have two weapons for at least a dozen hands equipped at the same time. The card called "Cheat" allows you to disregard all restrictions when attached to an item card. Depending on how loosely your group interprets the rules, this may lead to physically impossible things (such as wielding more weapons than you have hands). You can make a monster "Ancient" to significantly increase its difficulty, or make it "Baby" to decrease its difficulty. Play them both, and you're fighting an Ancient Baby. Clerics can resurrect a Level 1 Potted Plant, but another character can then immediately use a card to declare that now it was just an illusion of a potted plant, and was really the aforementioned 3,872 Orcs. Due to how the rules in Munchkin work, it is possible to lose levels quite fast. Especially with the Dungeons expansion, as one of the dungeons rules that EVERY player has their character gender-swapped and must be addressed by the gender-swapped version of their real-life name! If a player fails to do so once, they lose a level. Forget to do it a few times? Wave your chance of winning goodbye, unless you can make the other players screw up too. | |

The Unpronounceable: "The Unspeakably Awful Indescribable Horror" from the original set, as well as the Unpronouncable from Munchkin Cthulhu monster. If the latter defeats you, you can't ask for help next turn. "Tht Whch Hs N Vwls". Slightly more pronounceable (if you add the vowels yourself) and hanging a lampshade on how names in the Cthulhu mythos are often unpronounceable because of a shortage of vowels or weird clusters of consonants. | |

Nerf: The Loaded Dice card originally let players ignore one die roll of their choice and just call the number they wanted the roll to be. This being Munchkin, players quickly noticed that they could call any number, and started using Loaded Dice to make die rolls come up as ten million, or negative thirty thousand, or any number of truly ludicrous results. Combined with other cards that keyed off of dice rolls, the game was soon being broken in new and inventive ways, and a ruling was handed down that the Loaded Dice card allows you to change the face of the physical die that was rolled. | |

Freudian Slip | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_e8ca5cb3 | comment |
The "Change Sex" traps. There's also a "Freudian Slipper" that lets you alternate between genders, but if you lose it and you're stuck with the wrong gender, then you're at a disadvantage. | |

Every 10,000 Points | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_e90e91de | comment |
Every 10000 Points: Selling items of (at least) 1000 Gold Pieces gets you a Level. You can sell for multiple levels, but you can't sell to get to level 10 (or, in Epic Munchkin, levels 19 and 20). | |

Exact Words | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: Let's put it this way: This game had to have errata added to clarify that, yes, the bad stuff 'you are roasted and eaten' means 'you are dead'. The game's played by Munchkins, what else do you think they're going to do about rules they don't like? The infamous "Bad Stuff" for Squidzilla (probably as a subtle reference to the above Lawyering) reads "You are grabbed, slimed, crushed, and gobbled. You are dead, dead, dead. Any questions?" And then they had to clarify that you didn't die three times because of that text. | |

Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: Implied to be how the Psycho Squirrel attacks. It won't attack females or anyone wearing the Spiked Codpiece, and the player has to speak in a squeaky voice if they fail to kill it. | |

Crossover | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: With Axe Cop. Given how the heroes act in that series, this was inevitable. Munchkin Cthulhu had 3 expansions and a line of plush toys. There is also a booster pack and a deck based on Conan the Barbarian, and a deck (with expansion) modeled after Pathfinder. With Adventure Time, which makes sense considering the show's fantasy setting and the two main characters' love of killing monsters and collecting loot. The Unspeakably Awful Indescribable Horror in the standard deck may also be a Lovecraft reference. A Discworld Luggage card was available at conventions in the early tens, beginning with the North American Discworld Con 2011. A version based on the Marvel Universe was released in 2016. A version based on Rick and Morty was released in 2017. | |

Dismembering the Body: There's a Go Up a Level card called Mutilate the Bodies, which can only be played after a combat (but not necessarily a combat the user participated in). The art depicts a dwarf adventurer hacking several dragons into pieces. | |

Distracted by the Sexy | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_f10d3363 | comment |
Distracted by the Sexy: The picture for Cleavage Stun. Actually, the whole point of Cleavage Stun. And, of course, Undo Top Button. Also the improperly revealing ripped dress in Munchkin Bites expansion set Pants Macabre — it rips more, gaining an additional +1 with each sex change the character wearing it goes through. Every time a player has their gender involuntarily changed (which happens quite a lot in some games), they take a -5 to their next combat because they're distracted. Since there's no rule saying this bonus can't stack, it can only be assumed that at least some groups allow that penalty to be stackable! | |

Inevitable Mutual Betrayal | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_f1a6c4f8 | comment |
Inevitable Mutual Betrayal: Most of the strategy is based around convincing people that you are the opponent who has gone the least distance across the Godzilla Threshold. Betrayals can come at any time when it would be profitable or funny, and are more or less guaranteed once you reach level 9 and will win the game in your next combat. | |

Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_f1d3f0c9 | comment |
Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: A Running Gag of Munchkin Cthulhu is modifier cards with long esoteric words as names, based on the Signature Style of H. P. Lovecraft. The illustrations all accurately convey what the word means; on "Mephitic" the monster has stink lines coming from it and on "Batrachian" it's a big frog. (Which also makes it Shaped Like Itself; of course a frog is frog-like.) | |

Running Gag | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: There's a variant on "Everyone starts as a level 1 human with no class" in the game set-up portion of every version's rules. Later editions started lampshading the hell out of this. "You have no class and no style." In later sets: "Everyone starts as a Level 1 character with no class. (We never get tired of that joke.)" Everyone starts as a Level 1 zombie with no Mojo. (This is a zombie movie, so nobody has any class.) The same pun on class is also used as an actual ability in Munchkin Impossible. "British spies always have class. If you have this Nationality and no Class card, you count as a Playboy." | |

Things like Accents and Nationalities (the former are from Munchkin Booty, the latter from Munchkin Impossible, and if you're playing both you can have one of each, because they're considered different categories) only add to this. Especially because there's both a British Accent and a British Nationality, they have different powers, and you can be British British. The one aversion is that "race" in Original means a species like Elf or Dwarf, while "race" in Conan means a national origin like Cimmerian or Zamoran, but you cannot have both (without a Half-Breed card) because Race is treated as one category. No Cimmerian Elves. | |

Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught | |
Munchkin (Tabletop Game) / int_febb58e2 | comment |
Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught: Subverted with the Cheat cards, and the Mixer set card "Cheat Like There's No Tomorrow", which lets you do just that for one turn. Also an explicitly stated rule: if you can get away with cheating, cheat like crazy, as long as you're willing to deal with any consequences of getting caught. For example, you are limited to five cards in your hand at the end of your turn. But did the other players count them? Did you carefully stack your fifteen cards so that they can't really see how many you have? Excellent job, Munchkin! But be ready to throw away ten if you get called out on it (a common house rule is that you don't get to decide which extra cards get thrown away). | |
