About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare to dive into the World of Dorkness with Munchkin Bites!, a standalone installment of the famous Munchkin series that turns you into creatures of the night like vampires, werewolves, and changelings. The goal remains the same: be the first to reach Level 10, but now with a much more sinister and fun twist. You'll explore a haunted house, face classic horror monsters like the Banshee and the Heck Hounds, and perhaps even the dreaded Were-Muskrat. But beware, the most dangerous monsters might be your own tablemates! In Munchkin Bites!, you can't directly attack other players, but you can (and should!) curse them, send extra monsters to hinder their battles, and, of course, steal the treasures they acquire. The game is a hilarious satire of RPG and horror movie clichés, with John Kovalic's iconic illustrations bringing characters like Igor and Gilly to life in their macabre attire. You can use thematic items like the "Coffin (+3!)" and "The Sword Of Beheading People Just Like In That Movie" to get ahead. It's a fast-paced, chaotic game full of laughs, ideal for those who enjoy friendly (or not-so-friendly) competition and don't take themselves too seriously. It can be played on its own or combined with other Munchkin titles for an even crazier and more epic experience. Just don't forget: the evil you do to others might come back to haunt you!
