Munchkin Land #67 - Space Booty

35 minutes

Munchkin is a dedicated deck card game by Steve Jackson Games, written by Steve Jackson and illustrated by John Kovalic, that has a humorous take on role-playing games.

This week on Munchkin Land - WE'RE BACK! After the holiday hiatus most of the regular players are back for some high seas adventures... in spaaaaaaace!

Sail the Seven Seas. Plunder the treasure. Make your crew walk the plank. Munchkin Booty brings the greatest gold-grabbers in history – pirates! – to the world of Munchkin. Use your Silver Long Johns to beat the Lobster Mobster, drink your Demon Rum to fight off the Viking Kittens, and defend yourself with the Cutlass (or Cutlad, for the gents) against the Prince of Whales. But watch out for Sharks! Plunder the seven seas as a Pirate, Naval Officer, or Merchant. Taunt your foes with your horrible Accent – British, Spanish, Dutch, or French. Equip your Half-Galleon with a Crow's Nest and Figurehead. But above all . . . level up! Munchkin Booty is a stand-alone card game designed by Steve Jackson and illustrated by John Kovalic. It is completely compatible with the original Munchkin.

The Munchkins take to the stars – again! Star Munchkin 2 brings the epic saga of The Clown Wars to life, except with better acting . . . Star Munchkin took the rules-bending, power-gaming, dungeon-crawling insanity of the original Munchkin and put the whole thing in space, where the monsters are more alien, the weapons more zappy, and the treasure – well, there's still piles of treasure. Strap on the Sprayser or X-Rayser and go ray-gunning for new monsters like the Nerds of Prey! Play a new race (the Bugs) or class (Space Ranger!), and do it all with Ralph, the Wonder Dog, by your side. Star Munchkin 2 – The Clown Wars also has a new card type: Rooms. Just open the door, and . . . "oh, noooooooooo . . .!" The Clown Wars is a supplement for Star Munchkin; you will need the original game to play. Or you could add it to a game of Munchkin (or any of the Munchkin family!) instead, or mix them all together for a Munchkin-fest of truly mind-bending proportions!
