Jasn has a pretty volatile game of Munchkin in his gaming group but that's what they just seem to love about it.

Let's be honest. If the world was actually full of monster-infested dungeons packed with fabulous treasures, the most successful heroes probably wouldn't be the ones with a wicked sense of humor. 'Hey, look! A pit of deadly spiiiii....'. In the world of Munchkin, however, you'll spend as much time giggling uncontrollably as checking for traps, and the warrior you quest with today is the idiot you destroy tomorrow. While the Horny Helmet or Boots of Butt-Kicking might afford you some protection, it's a good bet that the Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment is going to do some damage to your friends. Sorry, enemies. Well, friends who are enemies. Featuring epic-level stupidity, all you need to know is this - with Munchkin, there's no slaughter without laughter.
This game was my gateway into hardcore gaming, and I'll always love it. My friends and I gobbled up Munchkin, and were blown away when we found the themed versions like Star Munchkin and Munchkin Fu. Munchkin has so much to offer, but I feel that after a while most groups will set it aside for different games.
This is an outrageous game that always results in a great time with your friends. It always makes me laugh and makes any night turn out fun.
Fast paced, simple, and quick clean up/setup. Great fun backstabbing friends and enemies alike.

A game that shows that there's no slaughter without laughter, a fascinating and complex step into feudal Japan, and one of the best apps ever. Three more top-notch recommendations from our Holiday Gift Guide 2011.
Munchkin, it seems, is a venerable gaming institution, and folk cannot get enough. Proving this point, we have Steve Jackson Games’ latest addition to Munchkin, a collection of Jumbo 6-Sided Dice, which are now available in stores. Read more...
