Publisher’s Description
Fly through the city. Smash the villains. Backstab your teammates and grab their gadgets.
Munchkin has parodied the classic dungeon, the kung-fu warrior, the space epic, and the creatures of the night. Now, it’s the superheroes’ turn!
Be a Mutant, an Exotic, a Mystic, or a Techno. The higher your Level, the more Powers you can have. Battle dastardly masterminds, devastating monsters, and invading aliens from the next dimension – from the wimpy Triplicate Twit all the way up to Big Ol’ Planet Eater Guy himself – and TAKE THEIR STUFF! With the Aura Helmet, the Telezapinator, and the (jet-powered) Pogo Stick, no foe can stand before you.
Super Munchkin is a stand-alone game, which (of course) can be combined with other Munchkin games. Designed by Steve Jackson (I) and illustrated by John Kovalic, this one is destined to RULE THE WORLD! Mwahahaha!

Part of the Munchkin series
Munchkin is a satirical card game based on the clichés and oddities of Dungeons and Dragons and other role-playing games. Each player starts at level 1 and the winner is the first player to reach level 10. Players can acquire familiar D&D style character classes during the game which determine to some extent the cards they can play.
There are two types of cards – treasure and encounters. Each turn the current players ‘kicks down the door’ – drawing an encounter card from the deck. Usually this will involve battling a monster. Monsters have their own levels and players must try and overcome it using the levels, weapons and powers they have acquired during the game or run away. Other players can chose to help the player or hinder by adding extra monsters to the encounter. Defeating a monster will usually result in drawing treasure cards and acquiring levels. Being defeated by a monster results in "bad stuff" which usually involves losing levels and treasure.

Traded Away Maybe I don't have the right crowd of people to enjoy Munchkin but it just isn't there for me. I got this in a trade for a rather expensive Kickstarter backed game and was disappointed with the results. Munchkin looks a lot more than than it was to play. 2-player variants aren't really fun at all either.

It's Munchkin with a wacky Super-hero theme! So put on your sprayed-on costume, ready your cleavage stun, and go kick some butt!

Haven't played any of the Munchkin games before, so don't have a point of reference, but maybe that's a good thing here. The rules don't seem to cover everything, but again maybe that is the point with this game. Hadn't played this one in awhile and made the mistake of reintroducing the game while playing with two 11 year-olds each of whom possess a much better memory of how to play the game than I. Annoying experience. This game needs much better rules. My son loves it, though. Otherwise this one would be on the trading block in a heartbeat. 2010-05: donated it to the 2010 Boardgaming for Diabetes Weekend
