Anyone play Munchkin?

Got about 5 versions, the normal and zombie among them. Do you guys mix the zombies in the normal one?

I've mixed the regular and the zombie one and it didn't feel like it had much synergy going. Some dead cards, some funky combos. But we only did it once and maybe it was the luck of the draw that we didn't enjoy it. We did play a Chutulu/Western one. That was entertaining.

Since Fantasy has so many expansions, we tend not to mix other genres in. Cthulhu Booty is fun, though, as is Zombie Cthulhu. If we're having a gaming party, we'll play The Big Deck O' Everything (combining all the sets our friends own). That one takes a while, and a lot of alcohol.

 

In a somewhat related note, I picked up Tentacle Bento from the FLGS the other day, and played a game with my wife. It was fun, but I think would be best with more than two players. The content makes the manufacturer suggest 16 as the minimum age, though, so not so good for the chitlins (no actual nudity, but lots of pantsu and cleavage).

I think I wrote this before, but when we mix the zombie deck into some other version we play as normal until someone draws a zombie. At that point they lose their race and become a zombie and can not switch back (half breed does not appy). It can be pretty devistating if your combat bonus is built around your race, and usually happens around level 8 of course. You'll find yourself refusing to loot the room on the off chance that zombie door on top holds the power to change the next person in rotation after they kick open the door. We like to put it in the apocalypse version with these rules of play. Its like any zombie movie after that, at the end some of the main characters have been bitten and turned. "Sorry dad, but we're gonna have to put you down."

I'm going to suggest this. I like it.

Dispatchdave, have you tried it yet?

Anyone play the spy themed version? Thinking about picking it up but wondering how it will mix into other decks.

Not yet; we went over there, but ended up playing Tentacle Bento (which took forever, and I don't think it was the learning curve. May need house rules).

 

But soon. Soon.

Hmm this is lot of information. Thanks for the tips, I can use it improve my game

The Spy one was okay. But I may have just not been into the spy stuff or if memory allows, I don't think it was as punny as the other sets.

Our group, between us, has most of them. I picked up Quest a little while ago, which can take while to get through.

 

We've been picking up a fair number of new games though lately (too much watching TableTop...) so haven't been playing too much Munchkin.

 

I should find that set of Munchkin minis I have and paint them one of these days....

[dispatchdave]

Munchkin QUest takes forever.... We rarely play it now (the wives do not have the patience for it). Still, I enjoy playing it when I can.

I broke down and picked up Munchkin Impossable. I've liked it so far but as stated above it is a little light. If has some powerful cards as the game goes but unless you're a serious fan of the spy genre it will feel a little lacking.
