Just getting started.

I bought Munchkin Pathfinder today and tried playing it with my two sons. This was the first time any of us had played any version of Munchkin. The game was over after just two rounds because one son and I were both dead. The rules say that a player must reach level 10 to win, but it would be darned boring for my son and I to sit and watch the remaining player basically play a solo game. If all players but one are dead, is the remaining living player automatically the winner?

Also, can you drop below level 0? I got hit with a curse that cost me two levels when I was at level 1. Should that put me at level 0 or level -1?

If I'm at level -1 and I decide to "help" another player fight a monster, do I actually take one level away from the player I'm "helping?"

Finally, I think I'm missing something important because it seems really easy to kill other players in the first round by buffing up the first monster they have to fight. How do games get past the early rounds when everyone is a total wimp?

Edit, I found some answers on https://boardgamegeek.com/

You don't die when you lose a combat with a monster. KEY CONCEPT. That should be in all caps bold type in the printed instructions.

My question about going below level zero remains.
