Comments on: Munchkin http://snikle.wordpress.com/2008/07/01/munchkin/ my feeble mind, it wanders hither and nither Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:09:51 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: rpgfiend http://snikle.wordpress.com/2008/07/01/munchkin/#comment-29 rpgfiend Mon, 13 Oct 2008 09:02:33 +0000 http://snikle.wordpress.com/?p=58#comment-29 I've been thinking about this more and more; what is it about Munchkin that makes it disarming enough to be enjoyed by non-RPG fans? It's certainly simple (that's not meant as a bad comment) and the graphics are easily to get along, but it's based on a pun on a well known and very popular RPG - so it should be a real niche game: I can't imagine "scary movie" being an interesting film for people who have never seen a horror/scare film after all?? Anyway, good post and I'll have to try this game out with my nephews and nieces (i've no kiddies myself thank god!), i'd never even thought of this game as an antidote to hundreds of sessions of draughts and monopoly games which aren't as exciting after the second game :) Doubt my <a href="http://roleplayinggamefiend.wordpress.com/2008/10/04/munchkin-the-card-game-review-and-opinions/" rel="nofollow">Review of Munchkin (the card game)</a> is of much use but it may be worth a read.
