If you\u2019ve never played <em>Munchkin<\/em>, you owe it to yourself to try &mdash; for one simple reason. While the game is challenging, funny and a roaring good geeky time on its own, it also contains a screw-over-your-neighbor component that will have you plotting revenge \u2026 before you\u2019ve even been wronged. We absolutely loved playing <em>Munchkin Zombies<\/em> and, if I may make a suggestion, staying in zombie character throughout the game enhances the fun exponentially.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If nothing convinces the makers of bad zombie movies that the genre is, uh, dead, then having a parody game like this on the market at least makes it possible to get your fill of zombies without going to the theatre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GeekDad on the latest offering from Steve Jackson Games in the Munchkin franchise: What Is It?
