Steve Jackson GamesStar Munchkin Card Game (Base Game) | Adult, Kid & Family Card Game | Fantasy Adventure Roleplaying Game | Ages 10+ | 3-6 Players | Average Play Time 120 Minutes | from

My family owns the original Munchkin, and I've played Zombie Munchkin, Pirate Munchkin, Munchkin Apocalypse, and Munchkin Cthulu (with all its themed boosters). I also own the boosters: Fairy Dust, Fairy Dust Dice, Munchkinomicon, Munchkin Reloaded!, and Monster Enhancers.Gotta say, Star Munchkin is probably my favorite.Pros:Clever cards that mock and parody Star Wars, Star Trek, Classic Doctor Who, and SciFi in general.Monsters with creative Bad Stuff and cool (and sometimes frighteningly evil) special abilities.High level monsters that will pursue lower levels, but with Bad Stuff that wouldn't hurt a low level player too much. (I like this.)Nice art style, easy to read cards.Sidekicks add a cool element to the game.Nice classes.Powerful, creative races.Interesting weapons that have some cool special abilities.Crazy strong curses, but also more ways to avoid those curses.Some really horrible Bad Stuff for some monsters, but also more ways to escape.Many opportunities to have extra hands, heads, feet, etc., so this makes combining with another Munchkin game nice. I mean, one time somebody had 8 hands at one time (including the four-armed Loud Hairy Alien Sidekick)!Pros Overall: This game, unlike the Original Munchkin, requires players to do more thinking, as you can't just stand around and take hits, but have to actively avoid them. More risk and cost-benefit assessment. So I like it a lot.Cons:As with other Munchkin games, some of the cards are a little vague. Go to the forums to find more info.More emphasis on player gender, and more opportunities to get things twisted around. This could be good or bad, but for me it is bad.Some of the artwork, as in the original Munchkin, is... suggestive. Just scantily clad women usually, and one guy in a tight outfit (you see nothing, but it is implied, if you know what I mean). Not kid-friendly, but for teens or adults it should be fine.Cons Overall: Nothing that veteran Munchkin players would be concerned with. And honestly, the PG stuff is less overall than say Munchkin Impossible and comparable to the Original Munchkin.Overall Overall: If you like SciFi or just want a Munchkin with stiffer benefits/penalties, this is the Munchkin for you.

Star Munchkin is a fun card game that manages to pit players against each other or force them to help one another depending on who's the perceived frontrunner.You will like this game if you are a fan of the TV show Survivor. If you are a fan of both Survivor and the Sci-fi channel you will love this game. If you are both of the above and you also consider yourself a somewhat perverse person who enjoys being backstabbed just as much as he enjoys backstabbing...you should see a psychiatrist. Seriously.This game differs from the original Munchkin in two important ways. One positive, one negative.Positively, you can acquire henchmen in this game. the ubiquitous "red shirts" from Star Trek are here to be disposed of as your fortunes (or whim!) dictates.The down side is that there are no expansion sets for this game yet. Since you can play the original Munchkin with up to three available expansions it is a more interesting and less likely to be repetitive game.I would advise you to buy the original Munchkin if you are only buying one.If you already have the original Munchkin plus expansions, or Sci-Fi is more your preference over a fantasy setting, then I would reccomend Star Munchkin. Either way it will be the most fun you have had playing cards in a while.

Long time gamers will already know Steve Jackson Games from their long history of RPG wins like TOON and GURPS. Since the wildly successful introduction of SJG's D&D and Magic: The Gathering parody/game system MUNCHKIN there have been many spin-offs, expansions and dips into other non-fantasy genres like The Old West, SuperHero, Vampire, Spy, Zombies, Post-Apocalyptic, Cthulhu, Pirates and now SPACE!You and up to 6 friends (10 year olds to Senior Citizens) can still Kill the monsters, steal the treasure and stab your buddy only in... Zero gravity rather than a dungeon. Players still work their way up from level one to see who can reach level ten first. Players progress acquiring bonuses via cellophane space suits, faithful robot sidekicks, photon cutlasses and lazer weapons (like the Bananafsnafofaser), while fighting Worminators, slaughterbots, space amazons to the Great Cthulhu himself. Players may use traps to hinder others, hallucinogenic nanobot devices and even plot devices to help other players for a selfish cut of the treasure (space treasure, that is). Available to offer further special abilities are classes each Star Munchkin can become like: Gadgeteers, Bounty Hunters, Psychic and Traders. Combine these with space races like: Feline, Mutants, Cyborg and you've got yourself a game. Combine this set with any other genre of Munchkin and you have another game even. Like Star Munchkin and Munchkin Booty for a game of Space Pirates!New Gamer Note: You should know this set is as easy to manage quick start up whether you've played before or not, but it you haven't played any version of Munchkin before a word of warning ... The rules refer to the Door Deck and the Treasure Deck, it's slightly less obvious without the dungeon motif on the cards so the Treasure cards are a darker blue and has mostly gadgets, while the Door deck is a lighter blue, slightly larger with all the Monster cards in it. When you open the box some of these May be shrinker wrapped with the Treasure cards so you will need to sort a bit before shuffling the two decks separately. Head's up parents, like all of the Munchkin sets some of the material is risqué at times, but not more than MAD magazine.

Munchkin Space is a hilarous and makes fun of all that is true and good in space operas. Following the basic munchkin principe to "kill the monsters, steal the treasure and stab your buddy" the game does not take itself, too serious. Ultimate goal of all Munchkin (i.e. power gamer, rule optimizer, potencer) is to reach level 10. Even if you have to obliterate a planet, trample highly superior unfortunately very tiny aliens or give your game master a massage (theres a card for all of this and more) to gain one level. Don't ask why. Just enjoy.

This version of Munchkin is Sweet. I play this when visiting friends and although a bit tricky to learn, one you've played a few games it gets easier. The best part of this version (for those that have played before) is that the lazer type weapons can be combined into a crazy 2 handed weapon. There are several lazer cards and if you collect 4 or more you can form a lazer-razer-mazer-bobazer (for example) that gives you all the bonus's of all 4 cards in a 2 handed weapon (so that would be +10 upwards!!). It obviously has all the other crazy munchkin type cards and you can mix it with other sets.This is a great game on it's own or combines with any other munchkin game and is a must for anyone that likes the Sci-Fi Genre (plenty of subtle and not so subtle references - James T Kirk makes an appearance as well as a few red shirts!) Some games have lasted hours, others didn't get finished as you get to put on over on your "friends" then you get them back and it descends into chaos (of the good kind!!)

Sensational game, the space theme works perfectly with the game and includes new cards within the theme that add extra depth to gameplay. Probably the most fun I've had playing a board/card game.(I recommend playing with 5-6 or more people who are ready to get heavily invested. Even better when drunk and with good friends who aren't afraid to help/ ruin everyone else)

Got this for my boyfriend for his birthday, and he loves it, it's such a great game, can't wait to play it alongside our classic Munchkins game! Also delivered fast! Thanks! :)
