  Munchkin (card game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Munchkin is a popular card game by Steve Jackson Games, written by Steve Jackson and illustrated by John Kovalic, that has a humorous take on role-playing games, based on the concept of munchkins (immature role-players, playing "to win").
Pants Macabre is an expansion for Munchkin Bites, and was released in late 2005.
Munchkin Cthulhu, the seventh standalone version, is coming later this year and lampoons Lovecraft's Mythos and the horror gaming that surrounds it, summoning classic monsters from outside reality.

 Science Fiction Game Reviews
original Munchkin card game, Star Munchkin is a stand-alone expansion that catapults its predecessor's hack-filled gameplay into space, trading its fantasy milieu in for a science-fiction one.
At the game's start, each character shares its player's sex and race (although both can and inevitably will change during the game) and begins at the obligatory "first level." As the game progresses, each player turns over a card from the Station Deck, which may reveal a monster.
Star Munchkin is great by itself, but its even better when combined with its predecessors, Munchkin and Munchkin 2: Unnatural Axe, to create a modern-day homage to the classic DandD module Expedition to the Barrier Peaks.

The beauty of this game is that when you are small and weak, those "unbeatable foes" usually have some caveat, like they will not chase you if you are level 3 or less, so you can back away quietly in that situation.

 HMFY - Game Review: Munchkin
Munchkin is a Must Have for anyone who enjoys roleplaying games (I'm speaking of the tabletop variety) for their fun value and doesn't take them too seriously.
There are lines in the rules like "start the game by rolling dice and arguing over this sentence and if a word in missing any meaning".
It comes in quite a large box for just 168 cards and a rules sheet (which isn't folded much, which is why the box is so big).

Whilst the rules are not as well written as they could be, arguing over them is the sign of a true Munchkin anyway, and resolution by whining is accounted for in the rules.
A great game, which could only be improved by full colour cards.
With this many cards, you can easily play it with more than six players, although the games are likely to go on for ever.

Munchkin : Go on stab your friends in the back, you know you want to :o)
“Munchkin is a tasteless parody game which brings the essence of the dungeon-crawling experience — without all that messy roleplaying” As the above quote says Munchkin is a card game that pokes fun at the more serious aspects of roleplaying games like dungeons and Dragons.
It involves fighting incredibly stupid monsters (like Stoned Golem, Snails on Speed and Gazebo), or more probably running from them early on, and picking up treasure and items trying to build up your character.
