Default Couple of newbie questions

Hi everyone

Im pretty new to Munchkin and would love to ask the following questions please:

1. I have the original Munchkin game. If I buy the expansions, 2 through 8, do I add them to the original game? Wouldnt that make the decks absolutely huge? Or would I add 1 expansion, play it, remove it then add another expansion?

2. The spiky knees card, I know yhou can only have 1 of each item on at a time, like 1 armor, 1 head gear, 1 foot item. What does spiky knees count as? Does it count as a foot gear card or is it seperate and can be plyed with the other items you arfe wearing?

3. I used to play Magic many many years ago and everyone always had their own decks when they play. While playing munchkin, is everyone supposed to bring their own or do they just play using the hosts set? If I am hosting a game at my house, would everyone just use my Munchkin set? If so, Do they bring their own boosters to use with my set if they want to?

Thank you for your time and have a great day

Paul

The game can be played with any combination of expansions. It's probably a good idea for you to add one expansion at a time so you can get used to the new rules as you add new sets (don't worry, there aren't too many).

It's an Item that doesn't take a slot. There is no restriction on how many of these types of Items you may have. For example, you can be wearing both the Spiky Knees and the Kneepads of Allure at the same time.

Munchkin has very few similarities to Magic and you shouldn't apply any rules from Magic to Munchkin. You all play with the same deck, using whichever boosters and expansions you want to shuffle in before the game, and there is only one set of discard piles too.
