Tabletop Spotlight | Munchkin Warhammer 40000

Adam and Drake get ready to kick open a warp gate, loot the cryptworld and backstab the emperor in Munchkin Warhammer 40k!

There’s not a whole lot we can say about Munchkin that you probably don’t already know. It’s been such a staple of light-hearted, friendship-ruining tabletop gaming for so long.

But, if you’re one of the few tabletop gamers who doesn’t know about Munchkin, take a look and what you can expect in this latest expansion box.

The goal in any form of Munchkin is to be the first player to reach level 10. Unfortunately, all your ‘friends’ are there to stop you.

Each turn, you’ll kick open a door and encounter whatever may lie beyond. Usually monsters or traps, but the occasionally useful item may pop up now and then. While fighting monsters, you’ll use your weapons, items and any special abilities to do your best at beat up the bad guy. But everyone else might do what they can to make it harder for you.

After beating up the bad guys, you gain treasure! Anything from weapons to armor, special items, grenades, you name it. You’ll use the treasures you like and toss away the ones you don’t, all on your quest to reach peak physical form.

The first player to reach level 10 wins the game! I assume the other players are thrown into the warp.

Sorry, buddy.
