Lose a Level Question

Deadheadhutch · 09-03-2013, 07:19 PM

Ok Guys, Been playing for a bit and lurking here just as long but I had a situation come up in a game that I need clarification on to see if someone (Yes ME) was denied victory erroneously or Munchkinly (Which I do not have a problem with). I was fighting as a lv 9 and kicked open the door to a medium strength monster. After much raining down of enhancers and modifiers and such I barely eeked out the win. But as I went to move my token my "friend" handed me a card as he smiled... and it was a curse "Lose a level" card. I know they can be played at any time (ANY TIME) and in his defense a "reasonable amount of time" had not passed (hit me with it immediately as I called the win). My question is to find out if this is a legal move. Misc. further info: It was my game and I allowed it b/c it was so blasted evil....It was a Star Munchkin game and HE ended up winning the game...
Thanks

You gain the level from defeating the monster as soon as you declare that you have beaten it, after the reasonable time is given for people to mess with you. Once you have declared victory there is no more reasonable time to give. You instantly go up a level and since you hit Level 10 you win the game. Your friend should have played the Curse before you declared victory in the combat.

Thanks for the clarification. I argued that point, but as I stated, it was so dastardly and since it was on me (game owner), I allowed it...BUT NEVER AGAIN!
Cheers!

I would make sure to point out his error next time you play just so he understands the rule properly. He most likely would have played it before you declared victory had he known.

Note that if you were playing cards and only had just played your final card to put you on a higher combat strength and then said, "Right, now I can beat this monster," then that is when the reasonable time starts and it is perfectly acceptable to play a Curse on you. You can either say that, or ask something like "Is anybody going to play anything else?" before providing a little time before claiming victory. The Curse is valid to play within the reasonable time, but not after, as mentioned.
