Munchkin: Cthulhu

by Steve Jackson (Game designer), John Kovalic (Illustrator)

Munchkins have hacked their way through dungeons, kung fu temples, starships, haunted houses, and super-foes. Now they face their greatest challenge – Cthulhu! Will they survive? Will they retain their sanity? Will they . . . level up?

Munchkin Cthulhu is a stand-alone game that lampoons Lovecraft's Mythos and the horror gaming that surrounds it. Brought to you by Steve Jackson and John Kovalic, this set features four Classes – including the Cultist – and a lot of classic monsters from outside reality. And they all have Stuff you can take from their twitching bodies.

You can play Munchkin Cthulhu by itself, or combine it with any number of other Munchkin games for mind-bending silliness.

Reviews

[Larry Kenney · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic card games based on the Munchkin franchise. Easy to play and teach to teach to other people. I've even gotten my buddies girlfriend to play and become addicted to the Munchkin games, and she doesn't like anything that isn't reality TV.

laugh-out-loud fun

funnier if you know the stories by H.P. Lovecraft
