Monster Levels Too Low
I just recently started playing munchkin regularly with friend and we noticed that we could easily beat monsters at the end of the game or get away from bad effects if we couldn't. My question is are there any packs that have monsters higher than level 20 and what you guys do to make the game harder? Thanks in advance!

Blend the base sets or add more expansions. The more cards you have to mess with folks, the harder it is to win. OR play Epic Rules. They do make it tougher.

Re: Monster Levels Too Low
What I do is play nasty from turn one. If you start the game brutal it usually turns into some backstabbing action pretty fast. Be ruthless, mean, and take every opportunity you get to screw over anyone else no matter who they are.

A +5 Monster Enhancer hurts a lot more against a level 1 than a level 9. Play mean, play hard, play to win.

Re: Monster Levels Too Low
Although I might not go so far as to recommend a maximally aggressive strategy from the very start (if you're playing all your cards to keep your opponents from getting levels, you're not playing them go get them for yourself), it is nevertheless the case that for most of the game, you should be fighting the other players as much as the monsters. Which means that the monster level is just one component of a fight, and it's often a relatively small one. If the people you play with can smack around high-level monsters without trouble, they're not smacking each other around enough.

I play against some of the best Munchkin players about and that is indeed how they play, low down, dirty, backstabbing Munchkins. From turn one, it's on! With the addition of Munchkinomicon, curses and traps have taken on a new meaning. Sparkly Good Fairy damn near ruined the game for a bit. Everyone was being NICE to get the cards. Now it pays twice as much to be a curse monger... Pat

Re: Monster Levels Too Low
I tried playing dirty from turn one and it was an amazing improvement. Not only did the people I was playing with respond by backstabbing everyone but I found that I actually had to try to get away from monsters much more often.
