Minigames in Munchkin?

[psyborg98]

I searched around the forums and didn't see anything like this, I apologize if it's already come up.

I recently picked up both Zombie Dice and Cthulhu Dice and immediately started thinking about ways to incorporate them into my Munchkin games. (Note: that's the SJGames Cthulhu Dice, not the Munchkin Cthulhu Dice from Q-Workshop).

Both seem really easy to integrate, and add cool "minigame" effects when you are playing Munchkin Zombies or Munchkin Cthulhu. My house rules now have a full game of Cthulhu dice going on during the munchkin game, letting cultists make more cultists, and give Zombies the ability to roll the zombie dice for a potential bonus, or potential penalty.

So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for other small games that could be incorporated into the other sets. I know Bites! has a Rock, Paper, Scissor game, but it's only on the one card, and that goes pretty quickly.

Anyone have any ideas?

Ha, that's awesome. I hadn't seen the promo card, but I actually have the bookmark. Had forgotten about it, though.

But really I was thinking more along the lines of house rules that incorporate them in a stronger way. My Zombie variant was almost exactly the bookmark, but usable in every combat instead of just the once, and limited to three dice to keep it from being overpowered. The cthulhu dice variant is totally different from the promo card.

I have rules lined up for Zombies and Cthulhu that I think will work out, I just need to do some play testing. So mostly I'm looking for ideas on other games that can be brought in for the other sets. Mostly I'm looking for fast simple games that can be added in as a quick aside to add an extra layer to the game play. Ideally something that has a very fast turn so it doesn't drag down the main game.

I did find an old dice game called Ship, Captain, Mate that you play with plain old d6s (or more likely munchkin d6s) that could be fun with Booty. And the new Halloween Dice set that's coming out might work for Bites!, though I have no idea what the rules would be.

Instead of including the dice in a Munchkin card game I'd like to see a separate Munchkin Dice game :-)

Roll 4d6 and drop the lowest until somebody rolls 7 18s in a row. :)
