Munchkin Cthulhu

A satirical card game that spoofs Lovecraftian horror and classic role‑playing clichés. Players start at level 1 and race to reach level 10 by battling otherworldly monsters, collecting treasures, and using character abilities. Each turn a player “kicks down the door” to draw an encounter card, which typically triggers a monster fight. Players equip items, use class powers (including cultist‑flavored options), and can interfere with or assist other players by adding cards to encounters. Defeating monsters grants treasures and levels; losing produces “bad stuff” such as lost levels or items. The game plays standalone or mixes with other sets in the series.
