A card game spoofing popular role-playing games, where "munchkin" is a pejorative term applied to an immature player who is concentrating on winning without regard for the detrimental effect on the storyline, role playing, fairness, or the other players. This game, set in the world of myth, legend, and magic, celebrates all those things: the point is to kill the most monsters, amass the most loot, and acquire magical items to build the strongest character, without the bother of role-playing or storyline. You can hinder or help (though usually demanding a bribe) another player, be hit by a curse, run away from a monster; there's even a way to "cheat." Disagreements among the players are to be settled by loud arguments, with the player who owns the game having the final say
