Risk: Use the Super Munchkin as an army token, placed on the map as normal. (A munchkin is a one-man army, right? <g>) When attacking with a force that includes the Super Munchkin, ties go to the attacker instead of the defender. If the Super Munchkin is lost, he's removed from the game. He's otherwise treated exactly like any other army token.

Clue: The Super Munchkin can move diagonally.

Then how would the SJ staffers communicate with us? Now get back on topic!


Cosmic Encounter - You may use the MP as an additional ship, bringing your total pool up to 21.

Carcassonne: Counts as 2 when determining ties.

Settlers of Catan: Use the Munchkin Pawn in place of the theif pawn, the pawn works the same with except you get to steal two commodities from the other player, or in the event you place it on two opponents shared space one from each of them.

Candyland: If you draw a card the same colour as your Munchkin pawn (ignore subtle shading differences), you may treat it as one of the two-mark cards.

Funny thing about those pawns:

Unless I've been told wrong, it's a little known rule that if a chess pawn uses it's 2-spaces-on-first-move ability and incidentally lands next to an opponent's pawns, the opponent can then move his pawn diagonally to land behind the pawn and take that pawn. Given using a munchkin pawn can move two spaces at any time, this should make him succeptable to that rule any time he pushes two spaces and lands next to an opponent's pawn. Of course, this could be some BS rule that someone told me for no reason (nobody's ever used it against me). Maybe I should look stuff up before I spend time typing it out.

It is a valid move, called En passant ; and I, too would like to know the susceptibility of Munchkin pawns moving 2 spaces on a non-first move.

I'm not big on chess, but I've seen that move as well. No idea what it's called though.

From the page you linked to: "En passant is a special capture made immediately after a player moves a pawn two squares forward from its starting position, and an opposing pawn could have captured it if it had only moved one square forward." (emphasis mine)

If it's a non-first move, it isn't a move from its starting position...
