	Description Edit \| History

Publisher's 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 Cthulhu is a 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 (I) 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.

Part of the Munchkin series.

Munchkin Cthulhu (and Expansions) Turn Flow Chart in ENGLISH

This is an English flow chart of a normal turn in a Munchkin Cthulhu game featuring all expansions and add-ons directly related to Munchkin Cthulhu (not counting promo cards). It's very easy to cross out a word here and there and make this apply to a game of Munchkin Cthulhu without any expansions at all, too. Hope this is helpful!
