Hello everyone.

We love to play Munchkin on weekly gathering with our friends.

The only thing which makes it not enjoyable lately is the thief class.

A couple of players had an experience to play versus abusive Thief player who literally spends one of two hours do nothing except stealing all good cards while being on level 1, then changing to another class, selling all stuff and win mostly because of having all the best items in play.

So these players developed an aggressive strategy against Thieves to never help them in the battle, always try to cast curses on them or add some bonuses to Thief's monsters when it is possible.

It results that when someone from our company is trying to play Thief class, other players play very aggressively and general feedback from Thieves that some/all other players are bullying them.

Can someone propose a change to the default Thief rules which will make the class less overpowered and bring more balance to the game?
