Strategies
Wanna suggest some gameplay strategies? Here are a few:
1. Don't enhance monsters if the main player has an adjacent munchkin to ask for help. 2. Reduce a munchkin's movement as early as possible. 3. Use movement abilities that don't require Move (such as using a Blink potion) to cover ground faster. 4. Prioritize searching for loot in the early game to acquire enough treasure to be competitive. Then prioritize to exploring new rooms for more DxM cards during mid- and late-game. 5. If a room is not 'good' for your Race or Class (that is, if it does not have a green icon), then do not make it a high priority to search that room if there are good rooms available. 6. Never help the highest-level player. 7. Defeat munchkins earlier than the Boss fight--that is, don't save up all your DxMs for the Boss. If they die or suffer a lot of Bad Stuff early on, you'll pull ahead of the leveling competition quickly. 8. Stop munchkins from defeating monsters with lots of treasure--use items to pull the monsters toward or away from you so they leave the room, or dispel them, etc. 9. Use Bermuda Triangle to get rid of monsters in your way, or remove a room that is 'bad' for you or 'good' for someone else. 10. Warrior is better for late-game than Wizard. Thief is of little value in late-game, especially Boss fights. Any others? Some will be no-brainers, but they'll still help new players. And post card-specific strategies too (like #9 above). |

That's a very good question though. Not everyone will answers the same, but this is how the game is scored and should be precisely defined.. I recommend playing for micro stakes - pennies and nickels etc. That way everyone is thinking on the same page. |

If everyone pitches in twelve cents, you win twelve cents per each losing player. But if two of you share a win, that's only six cents each per losing player (and there are one fewer losers). Quote:

Re: Strategies
Hey hey, when did this become a thread on semantics?
Especially if you just do it the way my group does it: "Losers have to clean up the game and shuffle the decks." :) |
