Marvel Munchkin too powerful?
Is anyone finding that you become way too powerful way too quickly in Marvel Munchkin? I've played a handful of games, and each time I get to a point where I'm taking down top level monsters by the third or fourth turn. The last game I played, I won my last combat with a combat bonus of 100. Does this reflect anyone else's experience, or am I just getting insanely lucky?

We've played 6 or 7 games, we top out at 40 to 50 in attack power. I think you may be getting rather lucky.

Re: Marvel Munchkin too powerful?
I'm right with you. Highest monster is 20 and yet after a couple turns everyone in a 5 player game was sitting with a power level of 30 to 40. Way too powerful, way to fast. Plus the monsters barely do any bad stuff like losing levels or even death. Takes away a crap ton of the strategy in the game. Hoping the expansion will even things out, otherwise, I'm putting this on a shelf as a great idea, horribly executed.

IKR. The moment you get the power gem, it's GG.

I was having this same thought. Plus, allies can be discard to escape combat. Multiple allies means you almost never have to suffer bad stuff.

Re: Marvel Munchkin too powerful?
What if you double all monster strength as a house rule? Would that make the start of game too difficult? Could always run away or die/respawn if defeated.

Add Apocalypse. (The Munchkin Game, not the Ur-Mutant)
Adding Apocalypse always makes it harder. |

Re: Marvel Munchkin too powerful?
I like this idea. Although I would probably limit it to doubling the monster's level initially, rather than doubling their entire combat strength unless that still proved to easy.

The Seal Mechanic.
Various cards open seals. The Seals have lasting (often annoying) effects in addition to a main effect that happens when the seal first opens. When seven Seals are open, the game is over. Oh and EACH monster gets a +1 Bonus for every open seal. |
