Tabletop Spotlight: Munchkin

Every Tuesday, UNT Media Library highlights a title from their growing collection of tabletop games. This week, read about: Munchkin Boardgame box cover

Munchkin, Boardgame 10

Number of Players: 3-6
For Ages: 10+
Duration of Play: 60-120 minutes
The goal is to be the first player to 10 points! Sounds easy, right? There are three ways to get points: play a level-up card, sell 1,000 gold pieces’ worth of items (no change given!), and oh, just fight a bunch of MONSTERS while your opponents plot against you! Your tenth level has to be earned in battle. Good luck!

From the publisher:

Go down in the dungeon. Kill everything you meet. Backstab your friends and steal their stuff. Grab the treasure and run. Admit it. You love it. Munchkin is the mega-hit card game about dungeon adventure . . . with none of that stupid roleplaying stuff. You and your friends compete to kill monsters and grab magic items. And what magic items! Don the Horny Helmet and the Boots of Butt-Kicking. Wield the Staff of Napalm . . . or maybe the Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment. Start by slaughtering the Potted Plant and the Drooling Slime, and work your way up to the Plutonium Dragon . . . And it’s illustrated by John Kovalic!
