Can Munchkin 2 be played together with Munchkin 1 as an expansion, or is this not recommended?

Munchkin 2 is an expansion to use with Munchkin. It isn't a stand alone game

It pretty much has to be played with it it's an expansion pack. They're not sequels.

Absolutely. Munchkin 2, 3, 4, etc. are all additions to the original munchkin game. Each expansion adds new things to it and makes the game even more interesting. I picked up munchkin 3 (clerical errors) as well as the Christmas expansion and they all work. Enjoy!!

Yes. The only thing that has to match is the name of the version, such as Munchkin, Munchkin Zombies, Munchkin Cthulhu. The numbers are to denote the various expansion sets, for each version.

There aren't enough cards in the expansion pack to play with. I recommend you buy the original game and get the expansions as you can.

This is the main game. It can be played by itself without the expansions. The expansions that you can purchase are usually labeled very clearly as expansions. The expansions add a bit of variety to the main game, but not necessary.

The Original might work best for a first-timer. Intrigue's card commands are a little bit more complicated, and are probably easier to understand if you've already played the original. They're both great games on their own, though.

I think it looses some of its features but my husband and I have tried it. I would recommend Dominion or Love Letter if you want to play with two players. We seem to favor those for the two of us. Munchkin Deluxe is still one of our favorite overall games though. :)

We wouldn't recommend playing with just the expansions because 1) they're small and the jokes will get old too quickly, and 2) the writing in the expansions is designed to compliment the main game, so you're getting a set of cards that are bottom-heavy on jokes and which are intended for more experienced players. Then again, you can do whatever you want. We're not the boss of you.

This expansion is compatible with the 2nd edition only. You can buy compatibility packs direct from the publisher if you have an original edition of the base game.

No, munchkin deluxe is the original munchkin set with extra peices like a game board and figures but does not include any extra cards that aren't in munchkin 1. This is its own set of cards to add to munchkin one ( or deluxe)

This game is not really a "board" game, but a "card" game. You can buy a version of this game (Munchkin Deluxe) that does include a board, but all it really does is keep track of your levels, which we do with paper. We have both versions of the game. You can also buy many different "versions" of this game such as the original Munchkin or "Pathfinders", "Conan" etc and all of them can be intermingled to make a bigger game. There are also "booster" packs which have a variety of cards to add to your decks. We have a lot of different versions and they are all a lot of fun and every time you play, it's different, depending on the hand you're dealt etc. This game is not really a "board" game, but a "card" game.

What? That's crazy talk. Yes, it's more fun with more players, but especially if you get expansions, you'll be interacting. Unless you don't want to, in which case, why are ya playin' together in the first place?

I've successfully played the original (without the expansion) with 5 and 6 players and it doesn't seem to make it easier or harder. Just deal 2 player cards to each, and play as you usually would.

Yes, it's totally compatible with the previous games. Check the D&D; website as well to see if they have expanded adventures for the combo, like they do for the previous pair!

You need the original game first. The expansion set is just to add on more cards to your base set.

This isn't an expansion, it's a core set. You don't need a board to play. But if you want a board to keep track of your levels, Munchkin Zombies Deluxe comes with one.
1673055
Absolutely. Your character and progress stay as they are and you can continue through both expansion packs.

You can just use an expansion pack but it is way too small to play a real game. Maybe only a few rounds. It is not recommended to play without the original set.

Hi, according to my son, the cards are exactly the same as Munchkin 1 (original) the only bonus to this set is that you have a board to move your pieces on so you don't have to use other items to try to remember which level you are on. If you already have the original, you would probably not want to get this.Hope that helps.
