Default Re: New player, need a recommendation on core set.

Between those two, Munchkin Zombies is much better for new players. Munchkin Apocalypse is a very brutal game that could alienate some new players due to how brutal it can be. The monsters are tough and get tougher throughout the game and it can be difficult to even get off Level 1.

As for blending, I think Munchkin Zombies would probably win again. The Seals mechanic of Apocalypse feels a tad watered down when you start blending it in. There is an optional rule to get more Seals to open, but it's not the same as the dread you get from the proper cards to open Seals. Zombies tends to blend quite well with the base set.

Having said all that, Munchkin Apocalypse is probably my favourite version of all the flavours. I just wouldn't play it with players totally new to Munchkin.
