Game Description
Welcome to the irreverent universe of Munchkin Zombies, the humorous card game that subverts every zombie genre cliché! Get ready to step into the shoes of a brain-hungry undead, in an apocalypse where the "monsters" to defeat are ordinary humans. Forget about heroes: here you are the threat, in a hilarious role reversal that only Munchkin can offer. This title, part of the renowned Munchkin series, brings chaos and laughter directly to your game table.
In Munchkin Zombies, the goal is to reach Level 10 by plundering treasures and defeating the annoying living humans. But beware, there are no traditional classes or races! Here you can choose your unique "Mojo," transforming into an Atomic Zombie, a Plague Zombie, or a Voodoo Zombie, each with its own peculiarities. As you level up, you will also acquire powerful special "Powers," unique abilities that you can use to overcome obstacles and make life difficult for your opponents. Are you ready to "kick down the door" and face action heroes, overprotective mothers, and even firefighters?
Like any good Munchkin title, player interaction is key. You can help your fellow zombies in distress or, more likely, hinder them with sneaky cards and extra monsters to steal their precious levels and treasures. Every victory will reward you with loot and advancements, while defeats will inflict "bad stuff" upon you, a classic of the satirical board game genre. Munchkin Zombies offers a dynamic and unpredictable gaming experience, perfect for evenings with friends, where strategy and chaos merge.
Enter the chaotic world of Munchkin Zombies, an experience by Steve Jackson Games, published in 2011. Ideal for 3-6 players, each game lasts approximately 90 minutes, guaranteeing endless fun and laughter. Prepare for an undead adventure where macabre humor and ruthless competition merge into an irresistible mix for all card game enthusiasts.

Rules - Munchkin Zombies
Munchkin Zombies is a satirical card game for 3-6 players, lasting approximately 90 minutes, where the roles are reversed. Players take on the role of zombies, while the "monsters" to face are normal people like the Action Hero or the Soccer Mom. The main objective is to be the first player to reach Level 10. Unlike other Munchkin games, there are no classes or races, but players can have a "mojo" (for example, Atomic Zombie, Plague Zombie, Voodoo Zombie) and acquire special "powers" as they level up.
The game unfolds through turns in which players face challenges and seek treasures. Each turn, a player "kicks down the door" by drawing a card from the Encounter deck. This usually leads to a combat against a "monster" (a common person). To win, the player must exceed the monster's level by combining their own level, equipped items, and active powers. Other players can choose to help the active player or hinder them, by adding more monsters or modifiers to the encounter.
If a player wins the combat, they receive levels (typically one) and draw Treasure cards as a reward. In case of defeat, they suffer "Brutta Roba" (Bad Stuff), which can involve losing levels, items, or other penalties. The game continues with players trying to power up their zombie and overcome opponents, until one of them reaches Level 10 and is declared the winner.
