I really enjoy Star Munchkin & Munchkin Bites and I can't wait to try some others, but we've come to the conclusion that Munchkin Bites is broken. It seems like every time we play it people start whining about the game taking too long. I think the problem is not enough monsters (unless you count the vampires, werewolves and changelings player characters). When combined with Star Munchkin it doesn't appear to drag that game down though. :)

Next to STAR MUNCHKIN this is my least favorite of the very excellent Munchkin series of games.
Two things work against it for me.
1...The Genre is just not my thing, if it is your thing then you will enjoy this game a lot more than I do.
2...The powers system, powers that can be used are based on levels, it is in my opinion not as playable and took my kid a bit longer to catch on. The same system was used in SuperMunchkin and I didn't care for it as much there either.
Nevertheless the game system plays pretty much like all the others so it is pretty solid. Munchkin is a fine game series it's just a question of finding the right flavor for you.
This one just doesn't happen to be mine.

I began playing the Munchkin line when there was only the one game. Who would have known it would grow into this many offshoots and variations? Who? SJ Games of course and boy are they cashing in! Luckily this game series has held up in quality and they really seemed to dig into some quality satire with the vampire theme of this game. I for one have been involved in many sarcastic verbal attacks of all the goths and their over-dramatic gaming style. This game lets you bring that sarcasm right to the game table. If you are a completist and need the whole set, go for it. If vampires are not your bag, you might consider a pass on this one, there are plenty of other Munchkin products out there to keep you entertained (Munchkin Fu, Star Munchkin, Super Munchkin, and of course the original D&D based ones).

The rules of this card game of fairly straightforward. Each player is a first level human, Along the way you acquire new personas with new powers (werewolf, vampire or changeling), open doors to fictitious rooms (i.e., pick a card), fight the monster in the room (i.e., on the back of the card), collect the treasure in the room and move on. You can play cards against your opponents, some of them funny, e.g., change his or her sex leading to a turn of distraction (but it might be helpful later against a monster that has a power only against the prior sex) or more sinister, e.g., death. The combat is simple and you can call for allies. There is active card trading and it is a freewheeling game of combat, greed and betrayal.
The things that stop this game from being great are the illustrations which are somewhat funny but generally pedestrian and boring and did not work to create the illusion of going into rooms. The game never transported you beyond a card game. The game is also a slow start and can be a bit boring until you have the strength needed to defeat some monsters, most of which have levels higher than yours. Because you can ask for allies in these fights, the more players the better this game plays. Finally, the number of cards and the way the game plays makes it difficult to develop an overall strategy - I am not saying impossible - but just difficult. This might change the more we play. But this game will not have the repeat playability of other similar genre card games and I suspect that while it is a good concept and an interesting game, the defects will prevent this game from becoming a family favorite.

Munchkin Bites is yet another entry in the Munchkin series from Steve Jackson Games. For an interesting read, google "Steve Jackson" and "Secret Service" at the same time.) The original Munchkin series was a satiric take on hack-and-slash roleplaying; Munchkin Bites takes on the vampire and goth genres. Gameplay itself is fairly simple. Players start with a hand of four cards from which they may select character classes and/or equipment. Each class has its own strengths and weaknesses, but the weaknesses tend to disappear during gameplay as players simply become more and more powerful. Gameplay consists of drawing a card, fighting the revealed monster or dealing with the effects of a non-monster card, and trying to scoop up treasure. The goal? Gain 10 (or 20, if you prefer) levels.
Munchkin Bites is a stand alone game, but it can be combined with any of the Munchkin series, including the expansions. It's not a particularly complex game; the fun comes from arguing about helping or hurting other players in their quest for levels.
In addition, the cards themselves are satirical looks at the vampire and goth roleplaying genres. Curses such as "The Universe Hates You, Lose 1 Level" pop up, as do humorous takes on monsters and magic.
Munchkin Bites is a decent game, and I can recommend it as a simple but fun family game. If you can find it in a local game shop give them your business, but ordering off Amazon will save you a few bucks.
