Product Description
Munchkins have hacked their way through dungeons, kung fu temples, starships, haunted houses, and super-foes. Now they face their greatest challenge - Cthulhu! Will they survive? Will they retain their sanity? Will they . . . level up? Munchkin Cthuhlu is the newest stand-alone game in the Munchkin line, this time lampooning Lovecraft's Mythos and the horror gaming that surrounds it. Brought to you by Steve Jackson and John Kovalic, this set features four new Classes - including the Cultist - and a lot of classic monsters from outside reality. And they all have Stuff you can take from their twitching bodies. You can play Munchkin Cthulhu by itself, or combine it with any number of other Munchkin games for mind-bending silliness.

 Excellent addition to the Munchkin line up May 18, 2007

Another wacky and fun Munchkin version, this time into the mind bending world of HP Lovecraft's Ancient Evils From Beyond The Stars (and possibly under the bed). The best feature is the "cultist" mechanic, that speeds play and adds a few great twists to stabbing your buddies in the back! The jokes are not as fun and inspired as in "Impossible", the classic Munchkin sets or "Bites!", but there are still plenty of chuckles, puns and groaners.

I was very happy to see a Cthulhu addition to Munchkin... well, besides the level 20 Cthulhu monster in the Munchkin Bites set. This set adds in cultists, which is a nice addition when you have more players, as cultists get bonuses for other cultists being in the game, though it's very difficult to stop being one. The other classes are investigators, professors, and monster whackers. There are no side-kicks in this set, which was kind of a bummer. It would be nice to include some research assistants or something like that. You don't have to have read any Lovecraft to appreciate this set, though it helps if you want get the jokes and puns.

If you're a fan of Steve Jackson Games Munchkin (the card game that spoofs D&D) and know something of HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu stories (perhaps you've played the very excellent Call of Cthulhu) then you MUST get this card game. It's a fun, easy-to-learn, non-collectible card game.
It follows Munchkin rules and could be used as an expansion, but it's even better stand-alone. There are some new Cthulhu specific rules. There's a new cultist class that's hard to get rid of. And the rule for summoning in -goth monsters is a very special new way to mess with the other players.
But, for me, it's all about the puns. Just hysterical.
Great fun with great puns May 23, 2007

My sons (11 and 14) really enjoy playing this game. As a long-time reader of the Cthulhu Mythos stories, I get all the jokes although they're lost on my sons. I look forward to playing the other Munchkin games.
Plenty of rugose fun! January 28, 2008

Just when you think Munchkin can't get any more fun, they release this eldritch spawn of a card game. Lots of clever as well as painful puns. Those who are familiar with the Mythos will have a special fondness for this game. The introduction to Munchkin of the Cultist class, as well as special rules for how cultists affect game play, are most welcome (though, it does make the length of time for a 3 player game far faster than normal). My only regret was that the set wasn't twice as large, but that's what expansion decks are for.
