We have a 10 year old son who loves anything zombie! Any recommendations whether to start out with Original or Zombie Munchkin?? Thanks!

Don't know, never played zombie munchkin. However, it's likely to be the best way to get him interested if he's into zombies.

I originally was attracted to Munchkin Deluxe after watching a video in which Steve Jackson (the creator of the game), Felicia Day, and Wil Wheaton (Wesley from Star Trek) played the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6oMBSiL7Zs . At the same time of purchasing Munchkin Deluxe, I purchased Zombie Dice. (also based on a Wil Wheaton video) I have not yet purchased Zombie Munchkin, but there are reviews on Youtube. I would check there. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulKcPwLxEvc Again, Amazon has Zombie Dice (which is portable and great for kids)... and I would watch the two videos. Munchkin is fun. Zombies are fun. It looks like the Zombie Munchkin Deluxe will be fun. Also, check out ... http://www.worldofmunchkin.com/munchkinzombies/ and the googles....

The first time I played, it was a combination of Zombie and Kungfu decks and it was great. The original is great and I would highly suggest it, but you don't have to start out with it. You can get the Zombie and then if you like it, get the original. To me at least the appeal to buy more than one set is to widen the deck after you get bored with the first set. Also before you get the deck there is an online version that teaches you how to play.

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

For the Munchkin Deluxe they are cardboard pieces. For other versions, like Zombie, the pieces are plastic figures.

I bought this last year for my then six year old son. It was definitely a solid buy and his then four-year-old brother was even able to play with a bit of direction. Honestly, he (the eldest) just likes the regular version better, so we only break this version out when his two younger brothers (now 5 and 4) want to jump in and play, too. Kids of Catan would probably be too boring for them, so I would go with Junior if you are certain that the full version would be too much.

I think it a good idea to start with duplo. While I bought it for a two year old it will be a fine place to start for a3.5 year old.

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.

yes dragons maze is always a good choice, its my favorite tbh but the "latest" is born of the gods, but yes this is a good choice!

Maybe the rookie or the original. My 13 yr old has not made it through the epic yet. Close but it is a challenge. My 10 yr old has the original and has not been able to get through that. It does keep them busy when they pick it up.

According to my 8 year old, he likes the Original Perplexes. The Epic is too hard for him and is a real challenge. We also have the Twist and he has really enjoyed it, it's somewhere in the middle, but overall the Original is his favorite.

Junior HedBanz game. My 7-10 yos love it. Wobble Deck is a great game for this age group as well. Both are in my collection of board games for game night. No video games allowed here.

Predaking and the predacons are some of.the heaviest and well built of the decepticons, so I would say yes, kid safe, but an addendum to that would be they are a collectors item get the seacon set if you want a classic that isn't expensive but still.fun

Its not that bad of a game i mean its not like he is asking for dead space on a playstation 3. However you are doing a great job at parenting seeking help first before buying him a game. I think it is rated mature. I would say let him play it 12-16yr olds i think should handle it just as well as a 17yr old. Ive played mature games since i was a young kid and theres nothing wrong with zombie games for a 12 yr old. If youre a really cautious parent though then no he would need to wait a few more yesrs

When I get an expansion, I like to go though to cards and pull out the 2 or 3 that end up being too much for my younger kids. My 9 year old doesn't need to see the picture of the "Ether Bunny" getting high. Otherwise, for the most, it's fine. Keep in mind, it is a game of backstabbing your friends to get ahead, albeit in a humorous way. I have 4 boys, 9, 10, 16, and 17 and we all love it and they invite their friends. Little guys have no problem understanding it. I just realized how long winded this was, sorry. :)

Sorry this took so long. They are the same. Love the Zombie edition though.

Lego is a much better/sturdier brand than Mega. For the really little ones, the huge Mega Bloks are good, but when they're in the preschooler age, Duplos seem to be a lot better.

No board is needed to play Munchkin. It's a purely card based game. But don't be dissuaded like that, it's incredibly fun!

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.
