backpack? and some other minor confussion thx
hi, i play munchkin a while ago, but dont have the original one anymore.
so.. about SUPER MUNCHKIN i remember i could "put some item on my backpack" and flip the card as "inactive" 1. can i do this on super munchkin? (is nowhere mention on the rules sheet) 2. anyone can refresh me how this works? during my turn as i put down the rest of my cards? other few questions (is being a while since i played :P) 1.. i can trade cards for 1 lvl (1000 gold) from my hand as well as from my active (table), right? 2. I can only LOOK FOR TROUBLE or LOOT THE ROOM if i didnt got a monster by knocking the door, right? no both? we got into a discussion with this on our last game.. 3. if i drawn a TRAP .. i can look for trouble or loot the room after i solve the trap right? thx |

Re: backpack? and some other minor confussion thx
omg!! thx that was so fast!!!
thx for that link, i ll print that booklet. For some reason my booklet only have 4 pages <.< .. and was super vague about the items, and lacking my original one i couldn't remember even the proper term ( :P .. sorry bout that) so.. i tried to put all my carried item down, put some as used and others as unused on our last game, but my friend pop up a question that make doubt the rules (hence come here).. if i can put unlimited items down when would i ever need "charity"? or is that because of the amount of monsters/traps/wondering monsters/and such non-items cards that can end up in your hand and you cant put down in your table as "carried" again thanks so much, this would help a lot.. and ha i won the discussion bout the loot and looking for trouble.. lol... |

Re: backpack? and some other minor confussion thx
I hear ya -- you almost wonder what is the point of "Charity" or hand limits if you can just carry all your items sideways. BTW, "backpack" is what we call it, too -- I think Steve Jackson called it that when he was on TableTop. :)
So my question would be: can you just put ANY item from your hand into this sideways/unequipped position (unless it is a big item and you already have one there or in use)? In other words, are you supposed to be able to play an item first in order to put it in front of you, and THEN and only then if it becomes useless (or you get a better item) you can turn it sideways? Or can it just go straight from your hand to the sideways/unequipped-but-in-front-of-you position until you want to use it? I sort of assumed the first one, but the Munchkin rules don't specifically address this. Maybe I should make it a house rule ;) Because I rarely use the "sideways" option, but I have friends who will carry LOTS of cards there just so they don't have to give anything to charity. Which seems wrong somehow...? |

Re: backpack? and some other minor confussion thx
You can play Items to the table as unused. That's why there's no rule specifically saying that they must be used first. Otherwise, you'd never be able to play Items your Class/Race/etc. couldn't use, or one-shot Items to the table.
And, I'll state again: We do not want people using the term backpack on these forums. It's not an official game term and, since I've seen 3 or 4 different definitions of that term used on these forums and back on the old mailing list (now defunct), I'd prefer to avoid the confusion going forward. You and everyone else are more than welcome to do what they want at home, but here, we have to worry about consistency. |
