Munchkin as not a very serious game; the rules make this clear with phrases like "Decide who goes first by rolling the dice and arguing about the results and the meaning of this sentence and whether the fact that a word seems to be missing any effect," and "Any disputes in the rules should be settled by loud arguments with the owner of the game having the last word." There are many cards which interact with or are affected by a single other card, despite the rarity of the two cards entering play together (such as the interaction between Fowl Fiend and Chicken on Your Head or Sword of Slaying Everything Except Squid and Squidzilla). On BoardGameGeek the average user rating is 6/10. Tom Vasel of The Dice Tower was critical of the game Munchkin feeling it was overpriced, had limited re-playability, and a poor and occasionally tedious gaming experience. In a review of Munchkin in Black Gate, Mark Rigney said "Here there be dragons, yes, but also a lot of snide references aimed at society in general. For my money (thank goodness, our box of Munchkin was a gift, so it cost me nothing), it's all in good fun." Inspiration Being very popular, the game inspired a mini-game on the social network Reddit. In this game, named Kick Open the door as a reference of the base mechanics of the base game, monsters are revealed in the form of posts on a Subreddit. The players can then attack the monsters using commands to trigger a bot that will count the damage dealt. The weapons used to fight the monsters are also inspired by the original Munckhin card game.
