About the game
Hey, Munchkin fans! Check out this expansion that's all about nostalgia and updates: Munchkin: Go Up a Level. You know those older copies of Munchkin you picked up back in 2010 or earlier? Well, some of their cards might be a bit outdated. This little box is the solution! It brings you 132 cards that have been revised and improved since the early editions of Munchkin, Munchkin 2, 3, 4, 5, and even 7, plus some versions of Munchkin Fu, Star Munchkin, Munchkin Bites!, Super Munchkin, Munchkin Impossible, Munchkin Cthulhu, The Good, the Bad, and the Munchkin, and Munchkin Booty. The goal is straightforward: give a facelift and balance to various cards, without you having to buy the base game all over again. It's like a 'remake' focused on the cards that truly changed, whether to clarify text or to tweak gameplay. Of course, not everything was included – some specific monster cards and curses are left out, but the vast majority of updates are here to ensure your experience is as fun and balanced as possible. It's perfect for those who love the chaos and humor of Munchkin and want to make sure they're playing with the latest rules, hassle-free. Get ready for more backstabbing, monsters, and treasures with these brand-new cards!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the base Munchkin game to use this expansion?
Yes! Munchkin: Go Up a Level acts as an update for cards from older base games. You need to own the original base game to use these new cards.
Which Munchkin games does this expansion update?
It updates cards from the base games Munchkin, Munchkin 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and specific versions of Munchkin Fu, Star Munchkin, Munchkin Bites!, Super Munchkin, Munchkin Impossible, Munchkin Cthulhu, The Good, the Bad, and the Munchkin, and Munchkin Booty released before April 2010.
Does this expansion change the game rules?
It revises and updates existing cards to improve clarity or balance, but it doesn't introduce entirely new mechanics that alter the game's core. The chaos and humor remain the same!
Which cards were NOT included in this expansion?
Some specific cards, like most 'monster enhancers' and the 'Curse! Exploding Kneecaps' card, were not included. The expansion focuses on the more general updates.
Do I need to own all the old expansions to benefit from this one?
Not necessarily. If you have the old base game and some expansions, this box will update the cards that have changed in those games. The more old games you own, the more cards will be replaced.
What does 'updating the cards' mean?
It means the text or illustration of some cards has been altered to make them clearer, more balanced, or to fix inconsistencies with newer versions of the game.
