Even C'thulhu plays board games!

Just when you thought your friend
wasn't going to backstab you...
          Yes, that's right. C'thulhu has invaded the world of board games. Last Wednesday I played Munchkin C'thulhu edition. This little game is part of the Munchkin series of games by Steve Jackson Games. This builds upon the traditional rules of Munchkin:
1) To win, you need to get to level 10. You achieve this by various means through event cards or defeating monsters.
2) Unless it's stated plainly in the rules or on the cards themselves, the rules are up for debate by the group.
3) Backstabbing your friends is allowed and encouraged!
          Through the use of weaponry, and event cards, and levels, the players usually start off cooperating together but end up backstabbing each other for self-gain. This game is lots of fun but can end up being quite long if the group that's playing is more focused on bringing everyone else down. But that's all part of the fun! I would highly recommend playing this game with at least 2 other people to ensure the game ends up being interesting enough to get a story or two out of it... like how one time me and a friend were in the lead and it took 4 other players to cooperate to take us two down so the rest of them can catch up!
