My son and are new to munchkin land. Need help

Ok. Sounds good. But am I correct to say that bonus cards stay in front of me and can use the repeatedly. Also if I help my son kill a monster do i get to give him all my points or just the points from one card.

Here's how to determine if most cards stay in front of you or not:

If the card is an Item (i.e., it has a value in Gold Pieces including 'No Value'):

• If the Item says "Usable once only" or tells you to discard it when using it, then it is used once and discarded
• Otherwise it stays in play

If the card is not an Item:

• If the card is a Race, Class, Hireling or any other special type of card discussed in the rules that says it stays in play, it stays in play
• If the card has a permanent bonus to your character (such as Really Impressive Title), it stays in play
• Otherwise, it is discarded after use

So yes, any Items or other cards that give you a permanent bonus listed at the top of the card stay in play.

When you are helping someone, you add your entire combat strength to theirs. You cannot give them partial support.

It is your combat total PLUS his combat total vs the monster combat total.

Items (cards with a gold piece value or "No value" do, yes.

Also if I help my son kill a monster do i get to give him all my points or just the points from one card.

When you help in combat, you add all of your combat strength (level plus bonuses) to the player side.

Non-Item Treasures that give a persistent bonus like an Item also remain. From Munchkin that means Hireling and Really Impressive Title remain in play.
