Munchkins have hacked their way through dungeons, kung fu temples, starships, haunted houses, and super-foes. Now they face their greatest challenge - Cthulhu! Will they survive? Will they retain their sanity? Will they . . . level up? Munchkin Cthuhlu is the newest stand-alone game in the Munchkin line, this time lampooning Lovecraft's Mythos and the horror gaming that surrounds it. Brought to you by Steve Jackson and John Kovalic, this set features four new Classes - including the Cultist - and a lot of classic monsters from outside reality. And they all have Stuff you can take from their twitching bodies. You can play Munchkin Cthulhu by itself, or combine it with any number of other Munchkin games for mind-bending silliness.

Have you read any of the fevered writings of H.P. Lovecraft, author of "Call of Cthulhu" and other books about strange, nightmarish things man was not meant to know? Have you played the "Call of Cthulhu" RPG or "Arkham Horror" board game? Do you have any idea what the difference is between Yog-Sothoth or Shub-Niggurath?
If not, you may want to skip this version of the wonderful card game known as "Munchkin," because it's filled with so many inside jokes related to the writings of Lovecraft that you'll have a hard time understanding what's going on.
And if you are a fan, two pieces of advice:
1) Get the original Munchkin, and its expansions, before you delve into this one. It's arguably the best set, and it has the most to offer in terms of add-ons.
2) If you pick up Munchkin Cthulhu, be sure to get its expansions as well, because they add some much-needed depth to the game.
Probably the most peculiar aspect of the core game is that a new class, "Cultist," can't be removed from all players by anything other than a card that's only included in the original Munchkin deck ("Divine Intervention"). The rules on how to use it aren't very clear, and unless you're playing Munchkin Blender (where you mix different decks together), it sticks out like a sore thumb. Ah well. The game's still fun... it's just not as solid as some of the other spinoff sets, like Munchkin Bites or Star Munchkin.

Just when you think Munchkin can't get any more fun, they release this eldritch spawn of a card game. Lots of clever as well as painful puns. Those who are familiar with the Mythos will have a special fondness for this game. The introduction to Munchkin of the Cultist class, as well as special rules for how cultists affect game play, are most welcome (though, it does make the length of time for a 3 player game far faster than normal). My only regret was that the set wasn't twice as large, but that's what expansion decks are for.

I was very happy to see a Cthulhu addition to Munchkin... well, besides the level 20 Cthulhu monster in the Munchkin Bites set. This set adds in cultists, which is a nice addition when you have more players, as cultists get bonuses for other cultists being in the game, though it's very difficult to stop being one. The other classes are investigators, professors, and monster whackers. There are no side-kicks in this set, which was kind of a bummer. It would be nice to include some research assistants or something like that. You don't have to have read any Lovecraft to appreciate this set, though it helps if you want get the jokes and puns.

My sons (11 and 14) really enjoy playing this game. As a long-time reader of the Cthulhu Mythos stories, I get all the jokes although they're lost on my sons. I look forward to playing the other Munchkin games.
By Matt Dahlquist
Another wacky and fun Munchkin version, this time into the mind bending world of HP Lovecraft's Ancient Evils From Beyond The Stars (and possibly under the bed). The best feature is the "cultist" mechanic, that speeds play and adds a few great twists to stabbing your buddies in the back! The jokes are not as fun and inspired as in "Impossible", the classic Munchkin sets or "Bites!", but there are still plenty of chuckles, puns and groaners.
