My son and are new to munchkin land. Need help
Some rules are confusing. For example - last game my son had three cards which increased a monsters strength by 25 points. Can he play all three on one turn? This doesn't seem right. Also the cards don't say play only once. So he played them every time I fought a monster. Is this right.

Thanks for the response. Then why do some cards say play only once and some do not. My son is now throwing a fit. Awesome.

Re: My son and are new to munchkin land. Need help
Ok. Sounds good. But am I correct to say that bonus cards stay in front of me and can use the repeatedly. Also if I help my son kill a monster do i get to give him all my points or just the points from one card.

Re: My son and are new to munchkin land. Need help
Here's how to determine if most cards stay in front of you or not:
If the card is an Item (i.e., it has a value in Gold Pieces including 'No Value'):
If the card is not an Item:
So yes, any Items or other cards that give you a permanent bonus listed at the top of the card stay in play. When you are helping someone, you add your entire combat strength to theirs. You cannot give them partial support.

It is your combat total PLUS his combat total vs the monster combat total.

Non-Item Treasures that give a persistent bonus like an Item also remain. From Munchkin that means Hireling and Really Impressive Title remain in play.

Almost all non-Item cards from the Treasure deck follow the same model. The best way to determine if something is an Item or not is if it has a gold piece value, which includes the specific phrase, "No Value." Items, Races, and Classes, and similar cards remain in play. Items which say "usable once only" on them (also referred to one-shot Items) have to be discarded once they are used. One-shot Items can be put in to play without using them at that moment, but once they are used for whatever effect they have, they must be discarded once the effect is resolved. In the core set of Munchkin, there are two Treasures, however, that give bonuses like Items, but aren't Items. Really Impressive Title and Hireling also remain in play (the rules cover this in a section entitled, "Other Treasures"), but they are not Items, so they can't be affected by things that would take away an Item. |
