Playing Games at PAX, Part Three: Dungeon Crawl

Steve Jackson Games: Playtesting Munchkin Zombies

You read that right: Munchkin Zombies! Now, I have to admit that I’ve only played Munchkin once or twice and I’m not a huge fan—it’s fun with the right crowd but doesn’t offer the depth of strategy that I tend to like. But I love that Munchkin comes in so many different flavors and I like the humorous take on the genres. Munchkin Zombies might actually get me to finally pick up a copy. I didn’t get to play, but I did see some Steve Jackson Games employees doing some playtesting at PAX—one guy told me this was the first “outside” playtesting they’ve done for this so it really is an early peek. You can see that the cards are just plain text, without John Kovalic’s excellent artwork.

And speaking of John Kovalic and Munchkin, here’s our suggestion for the next in the series: Munchkin GeekDad.

Munchkin GeekDad: Michael Harrison, Paul Sabourin, Ken Denmead, Jonathan Liu, Dave Banks

John was kind enough to make these caricatures of us for our GeekDad panel to use in our slideshow, immediately making us the envy of all the other GeekDads (including those who made it to PAX East earlier this year). I think we’ve got a pretty good start—once we throw in all the rest of the contributors, we might as well turn it into a full-fledged Munchkin game, right?
