I played Munchkin with my friends at lunch in highschool until we got sick of it. Then we got sick of President and went to Munchkin and Hearts. For one player, hiding cards up his sleeve was a regular thing. We never ran into any Tentacled monsters, which rendered the Manga Dungeon card useless (from the Dungeons expansion pack).
Also: whatever you do, don't play with all the versions of Munchkin you have at once. It took forever, and we had way too many cards (the cards in hand limit was removed). Mind you if we had found Star Munchkin we were going to play just that. I haven't played it yet though. In that session (which was at my friend's house) we did play Munchkin Cthulu, and had about half the people become cultists.
My title is based on the munchkin card of the same name. It gives a +1 bonus and takes up no body slots (not that it matters if nobody notices).

Mad Scientist! MWAHHAAHAHHehe. I love getting a Poisoned Really Impressive Title of Doom.
Because, honestly, how does that even work?

The title is a Brown Note. It infects the psyches of monsters who hear you proclaim it, leading to unusually rapid psychosomatic symptoms.
That took like four seconds off the top of my head.
Super Munchkin allows for fun combos with powers and items.
- Power: Forewarned and Four-Armed (+2 hands)
- Item: Prehensile Pigtails (+2 hands)
- Power: Claws (Free +3 weapon in each empty hands)
- = +18 bonus!

I remember a friend of mine using Fire Arms and as many extra hand items as he could find managed to reach like a +21 bonus from not using actual weapons.
It's not a Trading Card Game! It's just a regular card game.
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."
Unholy Crap. That would be a good name for a card.
I think munchkin is a good game. But some games can drag on too long for some reason. I don't think I've tried to actually cheat while playing Munchkin. Dose that make it better?

Put me in motion, drink the potion, use the lotion, drain the ocean, cause commotion, fake devotion, entertain a notion, be Nova ScotianIMX, Munchkin Bites takes the longest. Too many 'lose a level' cards.
That said, I do enjoy Munchkin, but it's so hard to find people willing to participate in the backstabbing fun without getting all butt-hurt over it.
That’s the epitome of privilege right there, not considering armed nazis a threat to your life. - SilaswBeen a while since I've played Munchkin. I picked up Star Munchkin and the Clown Wars at a convention, haven't had too many opportunities to play; most people aren't interested, and I've always felt you needed at least three people to play properly.
[[tvtropes.org/pmwiki/lb_i.php?lb_id=12919183980B30760200 Liveblog of]] John Carter Of MarsWell, I really enjoyed it and would like to play it again, but my friends are more interested in Bang! now (recently we had a 9-player game that didn't even last a turn; the sheriff was dead before player 9 had a chance to play).
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."Played for the first time tonight after our D&D session ended early(we curb-stomped the 3-hour encounter in about 45 minutes. Lucky rolls and crits everywhere. It was awesome).
With 6 players the game lasted the rest of the night. Nobody won, due to the store closing, but I liked it enough to buy the 'Deluxe' base game and an expansion. Hopefully I can get the wife to try it.
My sister and her group of friends are really into tabletop games of all sorts, so it was inevitable that her girlfriend would eventually buy Super Munchkin. Playing it through, I thought it was very entertaining, especially the rules-lawyering and power-gaming you need to be able to succeed. At one point I had the Techno class (which allows you to treat two-handed items as one handed) and a power granting extra arms, letting me have four two handed gadgets all at once.

Need a tall, brawny fella to come by and inspect your pickle? Perhaps I may be this fella.
This reminds me of Generic Half-Elven Dual-Class Ranger.
Just played this for the first time. I actually won too :D Liked it so much that I bought Munchkin Zombie (aka the only one available besides Vanilla Munchkin, which my friends already have)
Taking a break from FE1, for the FE8 draft instead

How many people here like to play it?
My group played it quite a bit before we switched to Bang!. The variants too, like Star Munchkin and Super Munchkin...
