Munchkin the Battle to WIN!

When we were given the Munchkin cards to play with in class I was actually quite excited because i've always wanted to play a non 'digital' role playing game.

Because i've never played a real life RPG before i knew the rules would be quite extensive and difficult to understand.
After reading all the rules I understood how to play.

The problem I felt was having to play with people who weren't enthusiastic about the game.
This is something that always happens with games. If your not enthusiastic about wanting to play its unlikely that you will enjoy it.

And with Card or Board games this is especially important that all players are interested otherwise some of the fun is lost.

When we sat down to play no one understood how to play correctly and we had trouble just setting up because the cards weren't marked very well and we didn't understand which card was a class card or a race card properly.

The Munchkin experience would have been great if we had someone who plays it regularly to play with us and show us how to play. The cards themselves i thought were very whimsical and funny. The game almost seems a satire on RPG whilst being an RPG game itself.

All in All i'd say my munchkin experience had left me wanting more, I plan to buy myself one of the Munchkin games and playing with people who are willing and wanting to play... oh dear i hope i'm not becoming a nerd :P haha
