Multiplayer

Hey, I was wondering if I buy this, can I do couch play with my gf and friends when they come over instead of playing the card version or is this only 1 player on the pc and you absolutely need to do matchmaking?

Is this worth the 17$? Or is it painful to play compared to the tabletop version? (excessive timers, turns taking forever, unintuitive menus,...)

There is no hot seat "couch coop" in this game.
Esp. with crossplay between steam, iOS and Android it is even better now, the last major update also fixed some annoying bugs. Worth it imo...

since I would have mainly played at home with people then it will be a pass from me

In my opinion couch-coop in this game doesn't make sense, as a big part of the game is surprising the other players with curses and monsters during their turn, which doesn't work as well when everybody is looking at the same screen (enabling "the enemy" to see your cards in hand)...

I dont know why you're trying to pick an argument here really...

in my opinion making a video game adaptation of a board game without any local multiplayer doesnt make sense, you'd just do like in the old days of n64 and play with honor by not looking at the cards while it is someone elses turn just like you were not supposed to look at the box from other players in goldeneye multiplayer

Plake is not an example of everyone..

My husband and i play this online together via 2 laptops in our livingroom,
but yes it does currently have to be purchased per player.

and now that it's out on IOS and Android Phone/tablet stores it does make it easier as not everyone needs their own pc/laptop in the room now.

and i get the honor system idea, and not wanting to buy it multiple times.
although this is definitely a game where private hands are important.
I have played games in the past where this was allowable and it is was nice to have.

But if you already have the physical cards I'd recommend just pulling those out for playing with a group at your place, there are good free level and battle counting apps out there. I recommend "Munchkin RPG Level Counter" allows for keeping track of the whole group, setting which level you want the game to end at, an etc.

This digital version is good for finding people to play munchkin with easier,

Was looking to play this with the kids, but not if I have to buy a bunch of copies and each expansion (when they come out) multiple times.

Before you say but they would lose money, the card game and expansions are purchased once and played with multiple people.

Will be a pass for me too until there's heavy sales.

COuchplay where you can see every card from your friends xD ofc

If you were mainly going to play at home with friends, then surely you buy the board game?

you could do couch play like in jackbox.... your cards are on your phone.

couch play wouldn't make sense at all in this game? it has hidden information (your hand), you don't share that information except for equipment/consumables you put in your carry.... so naturally it has no couch co-op.
