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.
This award-winning card game, designed by Steve Jackson, captures the essence of the dungeon experience... 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! Fast-playing and silly, Munchkin can reduce any roleplaying group to hysteria. And, while they're laughing, you can steal their stuff.
Other
Part of the Munchkin series.
Munchkin is a satirical card game based on the clichés and oddities of Dungeons and Dragons and other role-playing games. Each player starts at level 1 and the winner is the first player to reach level 10. Players can acquire familiar D&D style character classes during the game which determine to some extent the cards they can play.
There are two types of cards - treasure and encounters. Each turn the current players 'kicks down the door' - drawing an encounter card from the deck. Usually this will involve battling a monster. Monsters have their own levels and players must try and overcome it using the levels, weapons and powers they have acquired during the game or run away. Other players can chose to help the player or hinder by adding extra monsters to the encounter. Defeating a monster will usually result in drawing treasure cards and acquiring levels. Being defeated by a monster results in "bad stuff" which usually involves losing levels and treasure.
In May 2010, Steve Jackson Games made the "big announcement." Many rules and cards were changed. See The Great 2010 Munchkin Changeover for details. Of note to Munchkin fans, the Kneepads of Allure card, which had been removed in the 14th printing, was added back to the game but modified to be less powerful.

In 2011, New Zealand rugby fans erupted in celebration as the All
Blacks narrowly defeated France to win the Rugby World Cup - the
team's first title since New Zealand hosted the inaugural
tournament in 1987. In the years between these victories, the sport
of rugby has been radically transformed from its amateur roots to a
professional, global entertainment 'product'. This book explores
these developments and focuses initially on the New Zealand Rugby
Union's key deals with Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation and global
sportswear giant Adidas in the 1990s. The new pay-per-view era has
curtailed the traditional 'viewing rights' of rugby fans to have
live, free-to-air access to All Blacks test matches on public
television. Adidas, meanwhile, has relentlessly commodified aspects
of national heritage and indigenous identity in pursuit of local
and global markets while exploiting labour in developing countries.
Escalating merchandise costs and ticket prices have, at the same
time, pushed the sport further out of the reach of ordinary New
Zealanders. All of these issues, however, have not gone
uncontested, and the authors argue that rugby remains a contested
terrain in the face of a new set of limits and pressures in the
global economy.
Games Workshop, Warhammer, White Dwarf, Citadel Miniatures and
Fighting Fantasy are names which trigger powerful memories for
millions of people around the world. The cultural impact of Games
Workshop and Fighting Fantasy has been remarkable. But how did it
all begin? Since starting out in 1975 as a part-time mail-order
business in a modest third-floor flat in West London, Games
Workshop has grown from its humble beginnings to become a FTSE 250
company listed on the London Stock Exchange. From distributing
Dungeons & Dragons, to living in the back of a van, to opening
Games Workshop stores, to creating Fighting Fantasy, to launching
Warhammer, co-founders Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson tell their
remarkable story for the first time. Dice Men is the fascinating,
never-before-told story of an iconic company which changed the
world of tabletop gaming for ever. It's an insight into the
rollercoaster first year of Games Workshop and the birth of the
industry.
