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 was the 2008 Munchkin Silver Piece. We've released a new Silver Piece each year since then, for 2009 and 2010, as well as a special Christmas variant set for 2010 and a Gold Piece for Munchkin Quest.
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.
February 6, 2010: Munchkin 2010 Silver Piece Rule For February 2010
Note: This rule only applies to the 2010 Munchkin Silver Piece. If you are using the 2008 or 2009 coins, check the archive page for the appropriate rules from those years.
In any game of Munchkin or its sequels, you may flip the 2010 Munchkin Silver Piece after kicking open the door and finding a monster. On heads (the Munchkin), you may end your turn immediately (even skipping Charity) and pass the monster to the player on your left, who must start his turn by fighting it immediately rather than kicking open his own door. On tails (the Chibithulhu), you must turn over a second Door card and, if possible, apply it to the fight you are already in.
In Munchkin Quest, you may flip the 2010 Munchkin Silver Piece after exploring a new room and exposing a monster. On heads (the Munchkin), you may back out through the link you entered from, even if you do not have Move to do so, without suffering any ill effects from the room or taking a hit from the monster. This ends your turn immediately. On tails (the Chibithulhu), turn over a second Monster card and add it to the room you are in.
Remember that you can only use one Munchkin coin per game of Munchkin or Munchkin Quest, even if you have several coins available.
