Can you assist someone in winning even if it does not allow you to win as well
Hi,
I know it may seem like a dumb question, but after going through a series of games where someone that was level 4 offered to assist someone that was level 9 just so that certain someone would be the one to win, it makes more sense to ask :) So: can you offer to assist someone that will win the game (is fighting the monster while having level 9) even if you do not also win the game (i.e. be an elf level 9)? Thanks a lot in advance!

There is nothing in the rules that says you can't, so while it may not be in the spirit of the game, it's a legal play.

Munchkins are not known for such generosity, but I guess there is always one weirdo in the bunch. ;-)

Don't forget the Faster Play Rules, where you can have a shared victory even if you don't reach Level-10.

Yes, but it's not a default rule, it's an optional rule, so you would have to choose to use it, and if that rule is in use, altruism now has its rewards.

There is often some catharsis to be gained via such king making. If there was a third player also at Level 9 in this scenario, and they were the one primarily responsible for me being Level 4 at that stage, then I'd certainly be very happy to help the other guy win.

Plus sometimes, if it's gone on long enough, and you aren't likely to win, you just want the game to end. ;-)
