Summary
From the back of the box:
Munchkins, meet your greatest challenge yet ... your friends the evil minions of Cthulhu! Will you survive? Will you retain your sanity? Will you ... level up?
In Munchkin Cthulhu, you can become a Monster Whacker, an Investigator, a Professor, or a Cultist. But once you're in the Cult, it's not easy to get out! You'll study the Necrognomicon and the Innsmouth Yellow Pages in order to defeat classic monsters from outside reality, like the Froggoth, the Unpronouncable Evil, the Shallow Ones, and the mind-destroying cuteness of Chibithulhu. And they all have Stuff you can take from their twitching bodies. Even if you go mad in the process. Madness doesn't matter. Winning matters!
You can play Munchkin Cthulhu by iteself, or combine it with any number of other Munchkin games for mind-bending silliness.
Comments / Trivia
Munchkin Cthulhu is a variation on Steve Jackson Games' Munchkin. It is not necessary to have Munchkin to play this game, but they (or any of Munchkin's many other variations) can be combined and played as a single game.
This is the first edition of Munchkin Cthulhu.
In addition to the expansions, Steve Jackson games produces "Crypts of Concealment", a Munchkin Cthulhu storage box; "Munchkin Cthulhu Kill-O-Meter", a Munchkin Cthulhu level counter; and "Munchkin Cthulhu Cursed Demo", a Munchkin Cthulhu demo game. Q-Workshop produces "Munchkin Cthulhu Dice of Doom", dice with special rules for Munchkin Cthulhu.
