About the game

What you do in a play session

If you've already ventured into the dungeons of Munchkin Dungeon and felt it lacked that extra spice of chaos and trickery, get ready! Munchkin Dungeon: Side Quest arrives to spice up your experience even more, adding secondary objectives that will make you think twice before going straight for the prize. Forget just chasing treasures and levels; now, you can be rewarded for... being defeated? Or perhaps, for defeating a roaming monster without using those reroll tricks? It sounds crazy, but that's where the "Take That" fun kicks in full force!

These extra missions, called "Side Quests," are out there, exposed for all to see. This means not only can you try to complete them to gain precious levels, but your friends (or enemies?) can also keep an eye on them and try to hinder you or steal the glory. The base game is already known for this direct and somewhat destructive player interaction, and this expansion only elevates the pettiness. After all, who doesn't enjoy seeing a friend fail while you level up? The essence of Munchkin, with its sharp humor and fierce competition, is more alive than ever here. Prepare for more laughs, more twists, and, of course, more people wanting to give you a "take that"!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Do I need the base game Munchkin Dungeon to play?
Yes, absolutely! This is an expansion, so you need to own the base game Munchkin Dungeon to use the Side Quest cards and rules.
How many players can participate?
The expansion keeps the player count of the base game, which is for 2 to 5 adventurers looking to do badly (or well!) in the dungeon.
Does the game time change much?
The exact time isn't specified, but adding secondary objectives might extend the duration a bit, depending on how players focus on them.
Is it much more complicated than the base game?
The complexity increases slightly with the new missions, but the core "take that" mechanic and the pursuit of levels remain the same. Nothing too daunting for Munchkin veterans.
Who is this expansion recommended for?
It's perfect for those who already love Munchkin Dungeon and want more variety, more conflict, and more hilarious moments of mutual sabotage.
Are the secondary objectives difficult to complete?
Some are quite random and funny ('be defeated'), others require a bit more strategy ('defeat monster without rerolling'). The fun is precisely in trying!
