Description
Munchkin Apocalypse is an exciting core set in the Munchkin card game series. It features an end - of - the - world theme filled with natural disasters, zombie takeovers, Armageddon, alien invasions, and nuclear war. Like a standard Munchkin game, you aim to level up by slaying monsters, looting treasure, and outwitting your friends. However, a brand - new 'Seal' mechanic revolutionizes the gameplay. These Seals, inspired by the biblical seals of the Apocalypse, can be opened and closed, though closing them is quite a challenge. Once seven Seals are open, the game abruptly ends, and the player with the highest combat strength (excluding levels) claims victory. This mechanic adds a real sense of impending doom, just like a real apocalypse. It also encourages more teamwork as players often join forces to close a Seal and prevent a quick win. The card deck has a unique balance. There are far more Disaster cards, similar to traps and curses, so unexpected bad events happen frequently. There are also more monsters, especially high - level ones. But don't worry, there are more item enhancers and high - bonus items to even the odds. Munchkin Apocalypse is a bit tougher to play and is best suited for experienced Munchkin players. It introduces four new classes but skips races, powers, and other extras. It includes Undead and Shark monsters with special rules. The game comes with 180 cards (92 Doors, 76 Treasures, 12 Seals). The Seal cards are square, smaller in height but wider (2.75' x 2.75'), different from regular cards. The included d6 is orange with lime - green pips, similar to the orange dice in the +6 Bag o' Radioactive Munchkin d6.
How to play Munchkin Apocalypse: First, shuffle all the cards, including the Seal cards. Each player starts with a certain number of cards in their hand. Try to level up by defeating monsters and getting treasures. When you face a monster, use your items and skills to fight. The new Seal mechanic is key. Seals can be opened during the game, and once seven are open, the game ends. If you want to close a Seal, it's a bit tricky but can be done. To win, aim to have the highest combat strength (excluding levels) when the game ends. Note: This game is more challenging, so it's great for experienced players. When handling the cards, be gentle to avoid damage. Store the cards in a dry and cool place to keep them in good condition. Also, since the Seal cards are a different size, keep them organized separately from the regular cards. Have fun playing this thrilling end - of - the - world card game!
