Munchkin is all about the cards, King of Tokyo is all about the dice. Both have about the same amount of luck but have different themes and mechanics. I have both, I prefer King of Tokyo (marginally easier? to explain to new players), but both are great games.

It's pretty different to Munchkins but just as fun, if not funnerer :)I'd say go for it. It's good to have a variety of games.

I'm personally not a fan of munchkin, so our opinions might differ. I think KoT is a great buy, but I wouldn't play it unless you got the power up expansion also. The expansion offers a game-balancing mechanic that is pretty necessary.

I purchased this game and also own munchkin. The concepts are slightly similar but the game play is different. King of Tokyo is very dependent on the roll of the dice. The game play is quick and can involve many different strategies. I would recommend owning both games. I honestly didn't think of comparing the two games until you posed the question. Hope this helps.

This game is a favorite of my gaming group. We use it to start the night. It is a quick play, fun and well worth the money. I suggest the Halloween expansion also. Doesn't play like Munchkin so it would be a good alternative or warm up.

This is family and fun too but involve dices. not cards like munchkin. /also is faster. I would recomend for a fun and friend that never played new boardgames.

Why pay 20 or 30 dollars? Check the better thrift stores. I found game complete and looking just like new for $3.99 at Goodwill. I had no idea it was so expensive new, it's certainly not worth as much as everyone here seems to be spending their hard earned money to buy,

Each of the D&D; boardgames are standalone. You needn't buy anything else to play! It even comes with the dice you need. This is the best of the three (Ravenloft and Drizzt are the other two), so you would be making a good choice with this one.

Yes! Power up is great. Gives player powers, and bonuses rolling 3 hearts. Halloween expansion is only ok.

Yes it's worth buying. It's fun and enjoyable while at the same time it is difficult staying alive as you move further .into the campaign .

Greed. Pure and simple. The game is apparently not made anymore and folks are trying to cash in on "rareness" or "collectability". I bought one back in 2000 for 7 dollars at Dollar General at a clearance rack. I have played it every day since for at least a few minutes...better than reading the paper on the throne :) I was looking to find another one in case this one wears out and have seen the most horrible prices for them. Even used ones on Ebay are 30 bucks or more and over 100 for ones in the package. Hasbro needs to re-release it (with new word lists and maybe upgraded a little)

Nanny Pammy's review is spot on. If anyone would like more info on the game Wil Wheaton does a review of this game on You Tube, search "tabletop games Munchkin" its a long video but he explains gameplay in the first 5 minutes.

I have not owned the first edition of the game, but from what I understand after a lot of research before I purchased was that it is basically the same game. Some inconsistencies were corrected and the characters were designed slightly differently, but it is basically the exact same game. Just updated slightly.

Yes, you can play with 2 players, but it is much more fun with 3 or more. In a 2 player Munchkin game there really is not any motivation to help your opponent.

From what other people have said, the packaging says that you can. When i got it it didn't say anything so I reached out to them and they said no. However I would just quickly go to the Munchkin site and email their customer support about it, it sounds like updated packaging says that you can.

The Deluxe edition was the version that came with the board and extra markers. They have since discontinued the Deluxe version but you can now buy the extras in the "Munchkin Level Playing Field" addon.Munchkin Level Playing Field Card Game

This is an expansion to the main game. There are all new House card for each family, and there are instruction for new starting positions for each families' armies. Also there are some minor rule adjustments. It's a little pricey, and it requires 6 players to play. However, if you have 6 players that enjoy the original, this is a worthy investment for the fresh approach to the game.

The game plays well in its own. Try a few games just using the core rules. If you find you like it, you can purchase more ships later. A second core set is a good place to start, since it gives you three more ships and extra dice (which are a necessity) for fairly cheap.

Munchkin Zombies is a stand alone game that can be played with other Munchkin games but does not need to be. You do not need a game board but will not a level counter (1-10) for each player - multi-sided die work well.

I would say this is an easy to mid-level difficulty game, and could fit your circumstances well. I think the directions are fairly straightforward, and they are only overruled by anything written specifically on the game cards. If you'd like to see the game in action, I suggest you check out the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6oMBSiL7Zs (if the link doesn't show up, go to YouTube and search for "Table Top Munchkin"). There is a little bit of language (just a forewarning if you would find that sort of thing offensive), but the Table Top series of videos is where I've discovered many games recently.

From everything I am seeing and reading it will not run well. In some of the forums they give to tricks and twists to try but they don't sound too easy or appealing to me. I guess it boils down to how badly you want to play it. I hope this helps.

The "deluxe" second edition is a scam. Check the customer reviews--everyone says it's just a more expensive version of the 2nd edition. I saw a previous answer to a question like yours, and some dude was claiming you need "deluxe" edition to get the Wildling deck and extra pieces, but that's BS. The game comes with all the pieces you need, so just get the 2nd edition. Oh, and it's awesome!
