Erkki Posted December 8, 2008 Does anyone here play this? I think someone mentioned it in the DeathSpank thread. I just played it for the first time last week with some colleagues and it was really fun. And I don't play any pen and paper RPG's or card games like MTG or whatever. The way you can combine the cards may produce some quite funny results. In the last game I was a three-handed Orc-Gnome half-breed Wizard with a chicken on it's head, riding a flatulent fire-breathing armored tiger steed (who has nine lives). I'm even thinking of making a computer game out of it (or a similar game with original rules and cards, to not infringe on any copyrights). Already started coding a prototype, but time will tell whether anything comes of it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted December 8, 2008 Ha! I played this and loved it. I also immediately hit upon the idea of trying to capture the joy online... Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted December 8, 2008 Yeah, I've played it. It's really fun, especially as a breather between "heavier" games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Posted December 9, 2008 I think I said DeathSpank reminded me of Munchkin. Awesome game, there are some hilarious add on packs as well that are well worth a look. I think it's the sneaky underhandedness aspect that I enjoy the most hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted December 9, 2008 I'm even thinking of making a computer game out of it (or a similar game with original rules and cards, to not infringe on any copyrights). Already started coding a prototype, but time will tell whether anything comes of it... Hmm... I just had the thought of making the prototype be an Idle Thumbs / Video Games themed variant (Thumbs alone is probably not enough material or too insidejokeful? or is it?). It would be called "Thumbskin". Get ten thumbs up before your buddies do! * Start out as meh (), gain 10 :tup:s to win. * Negative reviews () remove your :tup:s. * Player's start out with no class -- everyone is J Allard in the beginning * Become The Wizard or Fanboy * Use modifiers (Wuxtrys) like Extreeme! (+5) and Extreeeeme! (+10) * Fight deadly monsters, such as the 8-bit Cock, Senior S. Duche, Señor Super Duche and Peter Molyneux * Monsters drop hot scoops which can make you more powerful * Shovel (unique item only fanboys can use) allows you to scoop up even more and gives a +5 against zombies * Throw head-crabs at enemies to turn them into zombies If anyone wants to collaborate on this (especially with design/graphics), let me know but it may take quite a while to code.

Roderick Posted December 9, 2008 Hehe, cool. When I first played Munchkin a few years back it didn't really get to me. Perhaps it was a bit hyped too much at that point and I was expecting something more grandiose than a whimsical little card game. Now, Machiavelli, there's a card game.
