Munchkin Silver Piece

Written by Steve Jackson Illustrated by John Kovalic

Given how treasure obsessed Munchkins are, it's a wonder we waited this long . . .

Munchkin Coins are special bits of promo goodness. Not only are they durable and shiny, the rules that govern their use change from month to month.

The first Munchkin Coin, for 2008, is the Munchkin Silver Piece.

All of these rules apply to any Munchkin game, and may be activated at any time (except where noted differently). The effect of each rule is limited to the owner of the coin, unless otherwise noted. Each Coin may only be activated once, and only one Coin is allowed per player.

Let us restate that for emphasis:

Each player may only have a single coin per game, and a single coin effect per game, unless stated otherwise.



November 2, 2009: Munchkin 2009 Silver Piece Rule For November 2009

In honor of Thanksgiving in the United States, we present this rule for the 2009 Munchkin Silver Piece:

Flip the 2009 Munchkin Silver Piece at any time you are not in combat.

If it lands Heads (the Munchkin), you may Talk Turkey: automatically defeat any one avian monster when you are fighting alone. (And because birds are descended from reptiles, this applies to reptilian monsters, too . . . and yes, that includes dragons.) You may not use this ability to gain the winning level. Alternatively, you may use this ability to pass any bird-themed Curse or Trap (Chicken on Your Head, Duck of Doom, etc.) to one of your opponents.

If it lands Tails (the Plutonium Dragon), Your Goose Is Cooked! You must Run Away from the next avian or reptilian monster you face, even if you could otherwise defeat it. If you encounter a bird-themed Curse or Trap before an appropriate monster, take double the effect of the Curse or Trap instead (unless you have some way to cancel it).

These rules apply to any game of Munchkin or Munchkin Quest. Remember that you can only use one coin effect per game.
