Default a few questions from a newbie

Hello everyone

I just started playing Munchkin last week and I have to say I love it.

I just have 2 questions:

1) If I buy every Munchkin Game, like Munchkin 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 , are those all to be played seperately or do I combine them with the original Munchkin game? Im confused

If I buy Munchkin Zombies 1,2,3, same as above, do I play each seperate or combine them? Can other games such as Zombies be played with the original Munchkin?

2) I recently bought a package of the Munchkin Pawn figures pack of 6. The card it comes with states "Any time you are entitled to go up a level – or when you do something that WOULD earn you a level if you weren't already Level 9 – you may, instead, place a munchkin pawn in front of you. In any combat, you may discard it for a 1d6 bonus. You may only have one in front of you at a time. Unless, of course, you "lose" these rules and tell the other players that you're allowed to have more. Six is a good number."

What do they mean by in any combat you may discard it for a 1d6 bonus? I have no idea what a 1d6 bonus is

Thank you all for your time and have a great day

Paul

All te expansions just add carts to the game. There is no deckibuilding in Munchkin, just put the expansions together with the basic set, shuffle, and enjoy a bunch of different cards.

Same with any new game. Zombies 2-3 are to be used with Munchkin Zombies. You can mix multiple, different games, such as Munchkin, Zombies and Star, for crazy games. It's a fun variation of the game. If you do mix multiple games, Munchkin 7 - More Good Cards, is a nice addition to the game.

You roll the dice (d6 is the 6-sided dice) and you get a bonus equal to the number you rolled.

Thank you very much for the reply. What kind of bonus does it give me? +1 to my combat level?
Thanks
Paul

No, you gain a bonus equal to the number rolled. It could be +1 up to +6

I'm do sorry to keep bothering but I'm real confused and don't know what you mean by bonus. What exactly kind of bonus does it give me?
So if I roll a 4, I get a bonus but what does this bonus do? What do I use it for?


Thank you again
Paul-very confused

You add the number rolled to your combat strength - so if you are Level 4 and roll a 3, that's a total of 7. You compare that to the monster's combat strength to see if you kill it or not.

I suggest watching the Flash demo; it might help you grasp what's going on.
