Munchkin is a card game created by Steve Jackson and illustrated by John Kovalic. It is a comedy on role-playing games, based on the idea of munchkins playing to win with the most powerful characters.

Munchkin won the 2001 Origins Award for Best Traditional Card Game, and is itself a spin-off of The Munchkin's Guide to Powergaming, a gaming humor book which also won an Origins Award in 2000.

Munchkin now has several expansion packs and variations and continues to be a popular game for us at The Board Gamer!
