25 Years of Kicking Down Doors and Backstabbing Your Buddies!
After 25 years of dungeon adventures, monster-slaying, and backstabbing your friends, Munchkin returns in a refreshed Second Edition!
This edition keeps the humor, monsters, and chaotic gameplay fans love, while making the game faster and easier to set up. A new Gold Pieces mechanic lets you receive change when selling Items, bribe your fellow players, and even speed up your path to victory. Player reference cards also make the rules easier to follow without constantly reaching for the rulebook.
The artwork has been refreshed throughout the game, including the box, gameboard, and cards, with new illustrations by the original Munchkin artist, John Kovalic.
Best of all, the Second Edition is backward-compatible, with guidelines included for using cards from your First Edition collection.
Classic Munchkin Mayhem
Go down into the dungeon. Kick down doors. Fight monsters, grab Treasure, and backstab your friends to steal their best loot. Munchkin is the legendary dungeon-crawling card game that delivers all the adventure without the complicated roleplaying rules.
Equip ridiculous weapons and magical Items, from the Horny Helmet and Boots of Butt-Kicking to the Staff of Napalm and Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment. Start by defeating harmless threats like the Potted Plant and Drooling Slime, then work your way up to monsters such as the mighty Plutonium Dragon.

Real (Fake) Gold Pieces
Gold Pieces add a new layer of fun to the game. Receive change when selling Items, use coins to influence other players, add them to trades, or save them for later. Coins can even help you reach Level 10 faster.
Faster Setup, Faster Mayhem
Choose your player color, shuffle the marked Starting Cards, and deal one Door card and two Treasure cards to each player. Each player also receives five 100 Gold Piece coins. With everyone starting at a similar strength, you're ready to kick down the door and start causing trouble.
Listen at the Door
Listening at the door now comes with an extra reward. At the beginning of your turn, take one 100 Gold Piece coin and draw one card face down from either the Door or Treasure deck before kicking down the door.
After defeating a monster, it's time to Loot the Room. Instead of simply drawing Treasure, you can roll the die and collect that many Gold Pieces. A little luck can make your next adventure even more profitable!
Team Up When You Need It
The Second Edition introduces an updated way to reach Level 10. If you're facing a difficult combat, you may ask another player to help. If you win, you share the victory, regardless of the helper's Level, Role, or other abilities. Of course, you can always choose to fight alone if you think you can handle everyone yourself!
Munchkin Second Edition keeps everything fans love while adding faster setup, clearer rules, updated artwork, Gold Pieces, and new ways to create chaos around the table. Grab your friends — or your enemies — and get ready to kick down some doors!
