Asmodee - Super Munchkin New Edition (EESJSU01)

Super Munchkin: The Funniest and Most Chaotic Superhero Card Game

Super Munchkin from Asmodee is the superhero version of the legendary Munchkin game, in which players become ridiculous superheroes who fight absurd supervillains, build up outlandish powers and steal treasure from their enemies. With irreverent humour, hilarious illustrations and friendly-betrayal mechanics, Super Munchkin offers a unique gaming experience that parodies superhero comics with a touch of absolute chaos.

What is Super Munchkin?

Super Munchkin is a competitive card game for 3 to 6 players in which the goal is to reach Level 10 before everyone else. To get there, you will need to fight supervillains, build up superhero powers, equip yourself with ridiculous items, betray your fellow players at the right moment and steal everything you can.

The game combines elements of role-playing, strategy, negotiation and humour in a chaotic experience where alliances are temporary, betrayals are constant and laughs are guaranteed.

Gameplay: Combat, Betrayal and Chaos

On each turn, players carry out the following actions:

1. Kick Open the Door: You reveal the top card of the Door deck. If it is a monster (supervillain), you must fight it. If it is a curse, it affects you immediately. If it is anything else, you add it to your hand.

2. Fight or Look for Trouble: If you did not find a monster when you kicked open the door, you can play one from your hand to fight it voluntarily, or look for trouble by exploring the Treasure deck.

3. Resolve the Combat: You compare your level plus your bonuses against the monster's level. If your total is higher, you win the combat, go up a level and take the treasure. If you lose, you suffer the Bad Stuff shown on the monster.

4. Charity: If you end your turn with more than 5 cards in your hand, you must give the excess to the player with the lowest level.

But here is the catch: other players can interfere in your combat. They can help you in exchange for treasure, or they can play cards to make the monster stronger so that you lose. Negotiation, deception and betrayal are a fundamental part of the game.

Superhero Classes: Mutant, Exotic, Mystic and Techno

In Super Munchkin, each player can take on one or more superhero classes:

Mutant: Superheroes with genetic powers or mutations. They get special bonuses against certain enemies.

Exotic: Heroes from other planets or dimensions with unique abilities.

Mystic: Users of magic and supernatural powers.

Techno: Heroes who rely on advanced technology and gadgets.

You can belong to several classes at once, combining their abilities to create absurd and powerful superheroes.

Ridiculous Superhero Powers

Super Munchkin introduces the concept of Powers, special cards that give your superhero unique abilities. Some hilarious examples:

Stretchiness: You can reach faraway things and escape from tricky situations.

Brutal Beer Belch: A power as ridiculous as it is effective in combat.

Eye Beams: The classic superhero power with a Munchkin twist.

Flight: Because every superhero needs to fly.

Super Strength: Bonuses in hand-to-hand combat.

Each power has its own ridiculous origin: bitten by a radioactive chihuahua, touched by an ancient statue, exposed to strange energies, or simply just because.

Absurd and Menacing Supervillains

The enemies in Super Munchkin are hilarious parodies of classic comic-book villains:

The Miniature Man: Small but dangerous.

The Satanic Teddy: Adorable on the outside, evil on the inside.

Our Old Friend the Planet Eater: An obvious parody of a certain cosmic villain.

The Generic Supervillain: Because sometimes irony is the best humour.

Each villain has a power level, treasure it gives when defeated, and Bad Stuff that happens to you if you lose the combat. Some Bad Stuff is mild (you lose a level), some is devastating (you lose all your powers).

Outlandish Items and Equipment

The treasure in Super Munchkin includes ridiculous items that give bonuses:

.50 Calibre Boots: Because your feet need firepower.

Demolition Licence: Official permission to destroy things.

Cloak of Partial Invisibility: Makes you invisible... more or less.

Ridiculous Skintight Suit: Every superhero needs one.

You can equip several items at once, creating absurd combinations that boost your combat strength.

Sidekicks: Pathetic but Useful Helpers

Sidekicks are allies who accompany you and give bonuses in combat. Some examples:

The Generic Boy Wonder: Every superhero needs a sidekick.

The Faithful Dog: Loyal to the end.

The Robot Butler: Helpful and metallic.

Sidekicks can be sacrificed to absorb Bad Stuff, turning them into disposable human (or robotic) shields.

Negotiation, Betrayal and Temporary Alliances

What makes Munchkin (and Super Munchkin) special is the interaction between players. You can ask other players for help during a combat, offering treasure in exchange for their support. But you can also betray them at the last moment, playing cards that strengthen the monster and guarantee their defeat.

Alliances are temporary and strategic. You help someone when it suits you, and you betray them when it is more fun or more beneficial. This dynamic creates moments of tension, laughter and revenge that define the Munchkin experience.

Irreverent Humour and Comic Parody

Super Munchkin is packed with references to and parodies of superhero comics. From the villains' names to John Kovalic's illustrations, the whole game is full of irreverent humour that affectionately pokes fun at the tropes of the superhero genre.

If you enjoy Marvel, DC and comics in general, you will recognise countless nods and references that add an extra layer of fun.

Compatible with the Entire Munchkin Line

Super Munchkin is a complete game that can be played on its own. But it is also compatible with the entire Munchkin line, including the original Munchkin, Munchkin Zombies, Star Munchkin and all the expansions.

This means you can mix Super Munchkin with other sets to create even more chaotic and varied gaming experiences. Imagine superheroes fighting zombies and dragons at the same time.

Perfect for 3 to 6 Players

Super Munchkin works best with 3 to 6 players. With fewer players, interaction and betrayal are limited. With more players, the chaos and fun multiply.

It is ideal for:

• Game nights with friends
• Informal get-togethers and parties
• Gaming groups who enjoy humour and betrayal
• Fans of superhero comics
• Players looking for something light but strategic

60-90 Minute Games

Games of Super Munchkin last between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the number of players and how long the negotiations and betrayals drag on. This length is perfect for a full gaming session without it becoming exhausting.

Recommended Age: 10+

Super Munchkin is recommended for ages 10 and over. The rules are accessible for children, but the humour and references work best with teenagers and adults who know the tropes of superhero comics.

Educational and Social Benefits

Strategic thinking: Planning when to fight, when to run away, when to help and when to betray.

Negotiation: Persuading other players to help you or not to interfere.

Resource management: Deciding when to use valuable cards and when to keep them.

Reading other players: Anticipating others' actions and spotting deception.

Emotional resilience: Learning to lose with good humour and enjoy the chaos.

Social interaction: Conversations, laughter and shared moments.

Memorable Moments Guaranteed

Every game of Super Munchkin creates unique moments: the epic betrayal when someone helps you and then plays a card that makes you lose, the narrow victory when you defeat the last villain with exactly the power needed, the laughter when someone suffers a ridiculous piece of Bad Stuff, the absurd negotiations where you offer ridiculous treasure in exchange for help.

A great gift for superhero fans

Super Munchkin is an ideal gift for:

• Fans of Marvel and DC comics and superheroes in general
• Players who enjoy irreverent humour
• Groups of friends looking for competitive but light games
• Collectors of the Munchkin line
