About the game

What is Munchkin Bites!?

It's the World of Dorkness! The Munchkins are now vampires, werewolves and changelings. Bash through the haunted house and slay the monsters – the other monsters, that is. You can't slay your fellow munchkins, but you can curse them, send foes at them, and take their stuff. Munchkin Bites! is a standalone game, which can be combined with other Munchkin games. With illustrations John Kovalic, you'll see Igor, Gilly, and all the other Dork Tower characters in their munchkin-vampire finery, so bring along your Coffin (+3!) and wield The Sword Of Beheading People Just Like In That Movie. Face foes like the Banshee, the Heck Hounds, and the dreaded Were-Muskrat. Smite them all, and be the first to Level 10... 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. Note: The Dutch first edition and German second edition include the first expansion for this game, Munchkin Bites! 2: Pants Macabre. The same applies to Italian edition.
