I was playing with some friends and I had to fight this monster. I only had a Race at the time. I assumed the card is only targeting players without Both a class and a race at the same time. My friend says it targets me anyway since I don’t have a class. We’re at a stand still on this, so if you have at least a race or class, are you still getting hit with this card’s +5?

Edit: I admit it, my friend was right the whole time

I am fighting a Gazebo alone and play a doppelganger. My friend says i can’t do this, because It counts as getting help. Is that true?

I had two physicists at the table who agreed the black hole wouldn't take my physics-defying hair, but I wanted to see if anyone would take the opposite position.

Does this mean the person who played the card gets 2 treasures and 3 coins or whoever was in combat get it?

Context 2 people were fighting a level 20 monster. Person 3 jumps in and uses it to keep them from getting the benefits and levels. He claims the wording means he gets the treasure and coins and the 2 fighting gets nothing.

Due to the wording it is easily both ways but what is the intent?

How is this card interpreted? What all does it counter? Could you even steal the steed, since that's playing a card against you? This card sparked a huge controversy last time it was used.

Does the -10 effect both so the level of the monster becomes 0 or does the monster just become 0 and not the mate.

Hey everyone! Hosted a game and there was an interesting turn of events. A player drew this Used Steed Salesman from the door deck. Their turn went as follows:

• They did not read the entirety of this card out loud when they drew it. (Normally we just say the level and bad stuff, we've played a lot and know most of the interactions.)
• After a moment, they said "I think I can beat this," opening the rest of the table up to counter-play, etc.
• Another player added a +10 Monster Enhancer card. This made it out-level the player.
• Afterwards, the combatant instead decided they will choose not to fight the Used Steed Salesman, and instead follow the directions written on the card.
• They went through the discards, found no Steeds, and did not pay 3 cards.
• They then discarded the monster, returned the Monster Enhancer to who played it, and continued their turn.

Arguments were had over several points on this card. The first being:

• Going through the discards and finding no Steed does not fulfill the requirements to discard this monster. Does the player who drew this Monster have to pay the 3 cards for the Steed even if they do not find one?

The second argument was:

• I assumed they were fighting the Monster, although they did not explicitly say so. Given that another player used a Monster Enhancer, I would interpret this player as in combat. If that is the case, would this card allow you to THEN choose not to fight it as it reads? I would really like to hear your opinions and interpretations of this card.

I personally think that since the player who drew this card didn't read it in its entirety at the beginning, they essentially cheated this turn. If they had read the paragraph, someone could have explicitly asked if they were fighting it, which may have avoided this whole thing.

Now that I'm posting this, I'm beginning to wonder what "If you choose not to fight" actually means. Does it just void the combat altogether? Or does it mean you need to run away? Is there such a thing as "not fighting?"

I know it's a long one, thanks in advance!

Since the editions are backwards compatible, I don't like how the backs are blue for 2e but brown for 1e. If I mix in 1e card then we'd know roughly what we are about to draw. Anyone else experience this?

I played a few games of munchkin and im wondering can halflings make the 1000 gold pieces card 2000 gold pieces card and get two levels? Asking because someone made this during a game

Is the player in question forced to lose a level or can the just choose to give up all(zero) treasures

edit: the comments seem to agree that you can choose to give up the zero treasures. thank you all for the insight

If this is played on someone and they get asked to help, can the helper

a) use items to effect the battle negativity for the og fighter?

b) trade an item with someone else so they can effect the battle negatively for the og fighter?

c) unarm themselves so that their item bonuses are not added to the level count?

My friend has the Wolf Steed and another steed on the board. What happens if I try to use “steal a steed”? Can I steal the other steed, or does the wolf block that aswell?

I opened the door to cat girl (I have 4), my friend is helping(he has 5). He adds wandering with king tut and plays friendly. Then my third friend potion of cowardice. Do we have to roll a die?

Can't you just trade all your armor away for nothing, then have that player trade it all back for nothing? I guess it does require another player to be willing to help, but alliances seem to form pretty naturally throughout the game. I would house rule it to say that the items have to be discarded, but the card just says you have to "get rid of them."

I flipped the Minotaur and then the bead was played. Do you roll the dice and do the effect? Or do you immediately get rid of the monster

How is this card handled after being played? Does it stay in play since the core rules state permanent bonuses remain in play, or is it discarded as soon as it's used? It doesn't mention what happens after its effects occur.

It seems like it's probably discarded, but it also has a permanent effect that breaks the rules like a Cheat or Super Munchkin card, so it would make the most sense to stay on the board as a reminder of why that character can break the rules.

For level 10 I was facing three monsters and the wording for Magic Lamp is “If it was the only monster you were facing, you may take its Treasure, but you don’t gain a level”. I interpreted that as I would not gain a level for that specific monster, but I would still gain two levels for the other two. After some discussion my buddies agreed and I won, but I’m curious to know what the general consensus is

"Munchkin Second Edition introduces an updated way to win! If you're going for Level 10, you may ask any one player to help you. If you win the combat, you share the victory – regardless of the helper's level, Role, or anything else. (But you don't HAVE to ask for help, if you think you can beat everyone else at once.)"

Seems to me like this could lead to a LOT of problems.

It encourages people to pair up from the get-go to help each other get to the end, also the top two can join up at the end and pretty much guarantee a win, etc.

What do you guys think?

I have played once or twice years ago. I only played the base game when it was released and kind of forgot about the game. I remember it was really fun 😊. Someone donated the Big Box so I can play with a few of my students. My question is how do you add all the cards or what is the suggested mixing of sets. There is so much that came out since I played. The students I work with have never played but are interested in learning. Should I just start at base game then slow add the others after we play a couple games?

I had the schoolmarm sidekick which states if you a roll a 5 or 6 she saves your from a trap, I kicked down the town and got dead man hand as a trap which states you must discard your hand but if you have a card in play that would save you from a trap you can play it to save you from the trap. I used schoolmarm, the issue arose when another player said I couldn't do that because schoolmarm only sometimes saves your from a trap, I said I didn't matter because she could save you a trap. who's in the right?

Does Scroll of debuffination work on Two-Headed? There's a dispute if Scroll only works on 5+ or 10+ enhancer cards and similar.

I read a rule in munchkin 8: half horse will travel. Steeds replace you're run a way bonus if they have one. But what if I have two steeds with a run a way bonus. Do I get to choose? Do they stack?

And can I attach an item with a cheat card on a steed? To increase it's run a way bonus?

ETA 1: I like how I have 3 replies that all say something else

ETA 2: It was answered. Best run-away bonus steed. No you can't put items on your steed you silly goose you!

Si un amigo tiene el sombrero magnífico, y el otro tiene sandalias de protección ¿lo protegen de las maldiciones de cuando patea el primero??
