May 2019 update: We've cleaned up a fair number of things throughout the document. We've also made the answer to the 'owner of the game' question more explicit. Churninator (from Munchkin Cthulhu): Add 'unless this would give you the winning level' at the end of the first sentence.

Death-Touch (from Munchkin Fu): At the end of this card, add 'You do not get any rewards for that monster unless you defeat all remaining monsters.'.There are official errata for two cards as a result of this rule:

It does make it slightly easier to win with an instant-kill effect, but most of those require exactly the right card combo. Rule 2 deals with an annoying timing edge case by removing the edge case. Rule 1 came about because many players over the years have been frustrated by being forced to help someone else win the game.

If all monsters are removed from a combat, the combat ends immediately.īoth of these rules implement changes globally that we have already made to individual cards in newer Munchkin games and expansions.

It also does not apply in the situation where the helper could win the game (Elves, mostly, but other cards can set up this situation) be careful when you choose a helper! This rule does not apply to voluntary helpers, who should have thought harder about what they were getting into. If a player is forced to help someone in a combat and it later becomes a combat for the win, the helper is kicked out of the fight without penalty.

Players may not be forced to help someone else in a combat that is for the win.

July 2018 update: We have made two global rule updates to all Munchkin games, and these updates will affect some answers in this FAQ. June 2018 update: We are no longer supporting the Epic Munchkin rules, so all answers here (outside of the Epic Munchkin section itself) assume that you are playing a regular game ending at Level 10.

This first section deals with some of those.Īll answers in this FAQ refer to editions of Munchkin published in 2010 or later.
