e Munchkin Dragons booster. To go along with this, you’ll get a brand new booster: Munchkin Dragon’s Trike!
He triggered the rear guns once more. A direct hit! The blue car skidded as the driver lost control – then flipped and caught fire.
That would teach him not to tailgate . . .
Drive the freeways of the future — where the right of way goes to the biggest guns. Players choose their vehicles — complete with weapons, armor, power plants, suspension, and even body style. Then they take them out on the road . . . to come home as “aces,” or to crash and burn. If a driver survives, his abilities improve, and he can earn money to buy bigger and better cars. Advanced rules let players design their own customized cars, trucks, and cycles.
Playing time 30 minutes and up, for players 10 and older. Any number can play . . . games with 2 to 8 are best.
Game components include:
Welcome to the sport of the future — autoduelling! Killer cars battle with machine guns, missiles, autocannons, and flamethrowers. You’re behind the wheel . . . and the last survivor wins.
This fast, fun game, based on Steve Jackson Games’ award-winning Car Wars, includes six full-color car cards, 150 full-color playing cards, and short, easy rules.
Dragons are fearsome! Dragons are cool! Dragons have LOTS of treasure for munchkins to loot! Munchkin Dragons has 15 new cards. The treasures are wondrous indeed . . . but first, you’ve got some dragons to slay. Good luck.
This is an expansion for Munchkin. It is not a stand-alone game. This is NOT a collectible or randomized set. Every Munchkin Dragons pack is the same as every other.
Now You’ve Done It!
You stirred up the nest and now Dragons are everywhere! Big ones, tiny ones, even undead ones. Munchkin Dragon’s Trike has 15 new cards. Kill enough Dragons and you might even be able to start your own treasure hoard . . .

Look no further! The new Munchkin Vinyl Figure from Funko will keep all the orcs at bay, ruin miniatures gaming, and probably won’t spontaneously combust! Huzzah!
Unlike the original color Vinyl Figure and the glow-in-the-dark Vinyl Figure, the Dopple Spyke figure comes in the two-tone color scheme that the original printings of Munchkin were printed in, as a nod to the game’s history. It’ll also be available at your friendly local game store in May!

Well with only 6 days left I’m getting antsy. New announcements are rolling in everyday, ranging from new tournament software to the next new release. It is getting overwhelming, I’ve scheduled eighteen interviews, and I’m going to get some great games in their somewhere.
With that being said I’d like to share with you my thoughts on Munchkin! Steve Jackson Games will be there and they are releasing Munchkin Pathfinder deluxe. Munchkin is a great game that lends a role playing feel to a tabletop game. It brings spirit to the table that rings the tone of a drinking game with out drinking. Do you now what I mean? The suspense build up while the players concoct their scheme to win. Then the tension breaks and there is laughter and loud roars of joy that grow more deafening as the game goes on, drowning out the bar next door. At least that has been my experience, – fun exploding at every turn.
Beyond that I’m really looking forward to the Deluxe version of the game. It includes a board, standies and well great art.
I really don’t need to ramble on and on about Munchkin. It’s been around long enough that you should know. If not check it out.
Since that was so short I am really going to work my way into the Cryptozoic area and explore some of their games. They have done a lot in the last couple of years and I really need to catch up. I’m told that ROFL, The Hobbit, and the DC Comics Deck Building Game are all must haves. I’ll do my best to get you the skinny on that.
