For those of you who love Zombie themes, you may want to give Munchkin Zombies a try. Im sure Munchkin fans are loving this stand alone and expansion version of Munchkin by Steve Jackson games.
Munckin comes in many shapes and sizes, from the classic to super hero and vampires. The basis of the game is wild and crazy monster killing. In the Zombies version each player is playing a zombie that is killing Human "Monsters"!
For those of you who are new to the Munckin world, gameplay is as follows;
Every player starts as a regular Zombie at level 1. The goal being to reach level 10, which can be done through defeating monsters or discarding "Go Up a Level" cards.
Each turn you will;
First, lie down any item cards that will give you bonus power along with any special ability cards that you can play. You will then draw a card face up from the "Door Deck" which could result in taking on a monster.
If you turn over a monster then combine your bonus power, special abilities, and current Level. In order to defeat the Monster, this total must be more than the level of the monster written on the card. If you can defeat the monster then you go up a level and collect Treasure, which gives you more special abilities and bonuses.
If the face up "Door" card is not a monster then you can keep that card and then draw a face down "Door" card to be placed into your hand.
Warning: If you cannot have fun backstabbing or being backstabbed, you may not like this game.
What you just read is a torn down example of how to play the game. You will find that the reasaon Munckin has such a loyal fan base is the player interaction.
Munchkin is built around the idea that you help your fellow Zombies kill mosters and survive while it serves your needs. Then, in the end you backstab your friends and keep them from reaching Level 10.
This is done numerous ways:
Among them would be playing curse cards, mulitplying monsters that the player is attacking, and/or increasing the Monsters strength. It is a lot of fun having your fellow Munchkin Zombies believe that they are going to win only to lose to the Monster and have to take the consequence.
We have played numerous versions of the Munchkin games and I really like the Zombie theme. I find it fun and entertaining. Of course it has the whitty artwork and captions, but it is just fun to have a Zombie theme.
