About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an outbreak of cosmic madness in your favorite board game! Munchkin Dungeon: Cthulhu isn't just another card pack, oh no. This expansion brings the Great Old One himself, with all the tentacles and insanity you'd expect, to mess up your dungeon. And it doesn't stop there: new Room cards will change your dungeon layout, Loot cards bring treasures (and dangers!) from other dimensions, and the Threats... ah, the Threats! They're here to disrupt your plans and stop you from grabbing that valuable loot. If you enjoy the vibe of Munchkin Dungeon and want to add a Lovecraftian touch to your gaming session, this expansion is for you. It adds 5 sinister miniatures, 20 Madness tokens to drive you crazy, 24 Threat cards, 12 Room cards, and 24 Loot cards. It's enough to make anyone's nerves fray, but in a fun way, of course! Increase the difficulty and the fun with this extra dose of cosmic horror. It's the kind of expansion that makes you look at the board and think, 'What have I gotten myself into?' But in a good way, naturally!
