Munchkin 7: More Good Cards

Munchkin 7: More Good Cards Rulebook

About This Set

Two requests from Munchkin players led to this box of More Good Cards:

First, a lot of you have asked for the Munchkin Blender cards – or, at least, the best ones – with regular Munchkin backs. So here they are. Our thanks to John Kovalic for creating new fantasy illustrations for the ones that were originally very Blenderized.

And second, in late 2007, we did a survey to ask what cards Munchkin players wanted to see more of. We got more than a thousand responses, and the results were very interesting . . . so that's the other half what this set is about.

You can just drop this whole set into your Munchkin game if you want to. Nothing will break, except that Class and Race cards will become relatively scarcer. But you can also cherry-pick More Good Cards that YOU think will make the game the most fun for your group. The card frequency is based on our survey:

76% wanted more Wandering Monsters – so here are five regular Wandering Monsters, one Dogpile (from Blender), and two of a brand new card, which we call . . . And Its Little Friends.

Almost as many, 64%, wanted more Monster Enhancers, so here are six Enhancers . . . plus two "Enhancer Enhancers" to be played on an already-enhanced monster. All eight of these cards are brand new.

52% wanted more Cheat cards. Fine, you cheaters. Here are four regular Cheats, two Cheat With Both Hands, and one Cheat Like There's No Tomorrow!

Only 49% asked for more Curses, but that's almost half, so here's a repeat of Don't Call Me Shirley, the sex-changing curse from Blender, and two brand new Curses.

And 28% wanted more Wishing Rings, so here's another one.

The rest of the cards are taken from Munchkin Blender, re-illustrated where necessary, and represent a wide assortment of madness and abuse. We do hope you like them!
