We all know how fascinating table games can be. In Russia, the first place in popularity is the board game "Monopoly". The second place is the board game "Munchkin", in which people of all ages play with pleasure. For those who first hear about this game: it consists of card-chips and a cube. The cards in the game are 168 and they are divided into two parts: the "door" cards (the second name is "dungeon") and the "treasure" cards. To distinguish them is quite simple in the shirt with the image of the above symbols.

Munchkin plays well in the company, where there are 3-6 people. In addition to the cards, each player must have ten chips, whose function can be performed by any improvised means, such as buttons, coins.

Let's take a closer look at how to play Munchkin? The rules of this game at first seem not too simple. It consists of ten levels and involves the promotion of players from the lower class to the higher. The winner is the one who first reached the tenth level. Each player takes two cards from each deck. When a certain card is dropped from the game, it is discarded in that discard (the place for discarding an individual deck) to which it corresponds. Cards that players have received can be active and passive. Passive players are in the hands of players and do not participate in the game. However, if the player has put the card on the table, then he can not return it back to the hand, they become suitable either for dumping or for sale to other players in Munchkin. The rules prescribe the beginning of the game by lot.

A player who has four cards on his hands can put one of them on the table, for example, a "race" card or a "things" card. The maximum number of treasure cards for players can be five, except for players who have been assigned a race of gnomes. They are allowed to have six cards of "treasure". In addition to gnomes, the game involves warriors, clerics and elves. To begin to pull cards it is necessary from a deck of cards of "doors". Here you will be burned by a "monster" map or a "curse" map. If everything is clear with the second, then the monster will either have to fight on its own, or ask for help from other players, subject to the subsequent division of trophies, or simply to run away.

During a battle, a player can not perform any operations with things, buy, sell, steal. Having defeated the monster, the player rises to one or more levels depending on what is indicated on the map with the monster Munchkin. The rules provide for the fight against a monster with the help of potions or other items. However, before you enter the battle, you need to compare your opponent's levels. Do not compete with the trolls of the eighth level, if your hero is only on the third. After the victory over the monster is gained, you need to pull the cards out of the second deck - "treasure". Their number is also indicated on the map of the monster. If another player helped you win, then you need to share the reward received for the victory.

The most interesting begins when you have reached a level close to the victorious, because other players in Munchkin can not only help you in the fight against monsters, but also interfere in the duel, so you do not get a victory. If the monster you can not win and other players to help you refuse, then there is only one thing - to run. Escapes the player with a dice roll. Success is considered to be an escape, if a 5 or 6 figure falls on the die.

What if you have too many Munchkin cards on hand? The rules in this case indicate to share items with the players who have the lowest level. If you yourself treat these players, then you just need to send the cards to the reset. Having achieved high popularity, the game Munchkin received a continuation, called "Star Munchkin" and "Munchkin Fu." If you are looking for a game that can truly amuse a friendly company, then stop your choice on Munchkin. The rules of this game will become clear even for the beginner, when he sees how others play, and the fun of the game will receive absolutely everything.
