Munchkin Zombies
Written by Steve Jackson Illustrated by John Kovalic

Kill the Living! Eat their Brains! Braaiiinns!

It's the sickest, silliest Munchkin yet! You are zombies, kicking down doors and eating brains. The "monsters" you're attacking are people, some helpless and some hazardous, with a few rogue zombies thrown in. The armor is whatever you've blundered across during your lurching search for brains. So bravely you'll go forth, with mousetraps on your feet and a bowling trophy protecting your poor rotting head . . . to level up, or to die.

Again.

[Now Available] Munchkin 7: Cheat With Both Hands, Munchkin Rainbow D6

Munchkin
Munchkin 7: Cheat With Both Hands
Game Design by Steve Jackson Illustrated by John Kovalic

Stir Things Up!

Admit it. You really like to combine all your Munchkin sets . . . the stupider things get, the better. Playing Star Munchkin Cthulhu Booty Zombies is really weird and really fun . . . but it can also slow things down.

There are a lot of ways we COULD have addressed this problem. But this is Munchkin, so the solution we chose was to create a lot of really overpowered new cards. Why be a Super Munchkin when you can be an Ultra Munchkin? If a Half-Breed isn't enough, you can be a 1/3-Breed. And if a single Cheat! card doesn't do it for you, you can Cheat With Both Hands!

There are also a lot more monster enhancers . . . and ITEM enhancers, too. There are several new low-level monsters to help you get those easy kills. Until somebody takes that Sock Puppet and turns it into the Ultra-Rare Extremely Sneaky Sock Puppet With Extra Cheese...

Munchkin till you drop – just add players!

This is a supplement, not a stand-alone game. It is meant to be combined with two or more Munchkin games, with or without other supplements.

Also, We Think 7 Is a Neat Number

This set replaces both Munchkin Blender and More Good Cards, which was the original Munchkin 7. We didn't want to reprint More Good Cards, because it was only 56 cards and most of those were originally from Munchkin Blender, anyway*. We didn't want to re-use the name Blender, since this new set – by popular demand – has the classic Munchkin brown card backs rather than Screaming Purple Cards. And we didn't want to eat our vegetables, because vegetables are yucky.

We hope you are confused now, because we are, too . . . but we thought it would be SLIGHTLY less confusing to release a new Munchkin 7 than to call this expansion Munchkin 8 and have frustrated people writing us for the rest of our lives asking, "Why can't my store get Munchkin 7 in stock?"

* And what about the cards NOT from Munchkin Blender? They're in Munchkin Monster Enhancers.

112 cards. MSRP $19.99

Munchkin
+6 Bag o' Munchkin Dice: Rainbow D6

We refuse to write a complex description for dice. These are 6-siders, and there are six in the package. This package has dice that match the pawns in the +6 Bag o' Munchkins and +6 Bag o' Munchkin Babes, and the dice in Munchkin Quest. They also match pretty rainbows. All the dice have the Munchkin head in place of the 1. Buy them. Kill monsters and take their stuff.
