Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Backstabbing, Credit-grabbing good times!
Review: Star Munchkin is a fun card game that manages to pit players against each other or force them to help one another depending on who's the perceived frontrunner.

You will like this game if you are a fan of the TV show Survivor. If you are a fan of both Survivor and the Sci-fi channel you will love this game. If you are both of the above and you also consider yourself a somewhat perverse person who enjoys being backstabbed just as much as he enjoys backstabbing...you should see a psychiatrist. Seriously.

This game differs from the original Munchkin in two important ways. One positive, one negative.

Positively, you can acquire henchmen in this game. the ubiquitous "red shirts" from Star Trek are here to be disposed of as your fortunes (or whim!) dictates.

The down side is that there are no expansion sets for this game yet. Since you can play the original Munchkin with up to three available expansions it is a more interesting and less likely to be repetitive game.

I would advise you to buy the original Munchkin if you are only buying one.

If you already have the original Munchkin plus expansions, or Sci-Fi is more your preference over a fantasy setting, then I would reccomend Star Munchkin. Either way it will be the most fun you have had playing cards in a while.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Game not book.... Great Fun.
Review: This is a great card game. Based on the hit Munchkin which is much like taking the Fun aspects of D&D removing the teadious rederic and turning it into a slapstick card game. Star muchkin goes further turning it from a fantasy game into a sci-fi game.
This is fast to learn, easy to play and great replayability. Many characteristics lacking in many of today's ordinary games.
Other interesting games to play are Settlers of Catan, Street Car, Formula De, EuroRails, Dragon Rails, Tekal, Once upon a time and Robo Rally. Try them all.
