Munchkin Mania is upon us!

This post will be going over the details of how to enter and how we will be running the League, so let’s Jump right into it!

League Entry

This year we are requiring a one time entry fee of $15 to participate in Munchkin League.
The entry fee allows participants to compete during the entire six weeks of play, and enters them in the running for the prizes awarded after the final week.

Entrants will each receive a Munchkin Bookmark promo and two 10-sided dice for in game Level tracking!

Player fare will be charged separately. This event is eligible for our Event Punch Card.

League Rules

• We will be following the official rules for Munchkin during all League games. No house rules.
• This is not an official Munchkin Tournament, therefore we will not be following the Long Version Tournament Rules.
• Cheating is absolutely not allowed unless accompanied by playing a card!
• Participants will only be allowed to use supplemental items, such as bookmarks and the Level Counter, upon approval from the organizer.
• Players will be limited to two official games per night. Each game will be limited to one hour of play time if no player reaches Level 10.
• Players will be awarded twice as many Levels as they have at the end of the match. Those in sole possession of first will receive triple Levels. These Levels will determine the overall winner of the League.
• Games will start at 7PM to give all participants time to arrive. Please RSVP on our Facebook Event pages to make sure we know you’re coming.
• All games will be kept to a four player minimum when possible. Three player games will only be allowed when there is no other option.
• Each participant will be playing two separate versions of Munchkin each week. However, on week one all games will be standard Munchkin.
• Scores will be final at the end of the night on June 7th!

League Levels

After a League day has been completed, all level sheets will be collected, and posted to a public Google Document. Top scores will also be on display in Merlin’s Beard!
We will be tracking both total league levels, and a total combat power.

The scoring system will be as follows:

• At the end of a match players will gain League Levels equal to twice their end of game level.
• Players in sole possession of first place will gain triple their end of game level.
• Number of sole victories will be the first tie breaker for League Levels.
• Overall combat power will be the second League Level tie breaker.

Games will be held for six week on Thursdays at 7 PM starting May 3rd.

Merlin’s Beard is hosting live trivia! Our inaugural game will be Wednesday, April 11th. Sign in is 6:30 to 7. The show starts at 7 and will take an hour or two to play through the set, which will use a general trivia theme. The members of the winning team will each receive a free-to-play single day pass for Merlin’s Beard!

We are using software from SpeedQuzzing.com to run the show, which I think you will love. The game’s router can support 32 live smartphone connections at a time, which means almost everyone in our space could connect individually if they wanted to!

When you arrive Wednesday at Merlin’s, you will be given an instruction card explaining how to download the SpeedQuizzing Virtual Buzzer App [ Android | IOS ] and connect to the SpeedQuizzing router. Each team will connect to the game through a special WiFi router and set a name for themselves and, once everyone is ready, we play!

You can check out the video portion of from our live test session last week below:
