Munchkin 4: The Need for Steed

In addition to steeds this expansion provides more cards to bolster your chances of obtaining helpful cards from the base game including more monsters, items, race and class cards, as well as a few go up one level cards.The cool thing about steeds is that you can choose to fight them as monsters when drawn face up from the door pile at the start of your turn and their level is double that of their combat bonus so level 8 monster for a combat bonus 4 steed.Each expansion enhances the munchkin game experience and I highly recommend this 4th expansion the need for steed.

I bought this expansion as opposed to clerical errors meaning I skipped one expansion and I do not regret it. The steeds really add on a new kind of fun for the game. The rules of the Steeds are very easy to understand, they're just extra boosters for your Munchkin. The only thing you have to be aware of is that The Steed's running buffs or debuffs override the ones of your character, so if your elf has a +1 to run, and you have a turtle steed, with -2, you have to follow the -2 without any thought on your +1. I don't believe the steeds override equipment running bonuses though, but that's just the way me and my friends play. Also this expansion includes the bard class and gnome race that is given to you with Clerical Errors so I thought that was a bit of a nice bonus, although they can be a bit overpowered.

We initially bought the regular munchkin game but went through all the cards quickly. So we went ahead and got this expansion. We love all the new cards that this brings to the game. It makes it a lot more enjoyable to see new cards you haven't used before. Definitely recommend

Need for Steed adds new elements to the game with the addition of more hirelings and steeds to ride as well as a good mix of monsters and other cards. If you liked the original set, I would highly recommend this set as an expansion that adds a little more to the game.

I own expansions 2, 3, 4, and 5 and this is my favorite one. The addition of "steeds" is even more fun than the addition of "hirelings" in my opinion.Be aware that starting with this expansion (4), the expansions seem to start relying on each other. For example, we have cards in expansion 5 (De-ranged) that either wouldn't work or wouldn't be as powerful without having the cards for expansion 4 (The Need for Steed) in the deck.

Munchkin is a great game to play with close friends, so long as you all understand that the purpose of the game is to torment one another endlessly. The Need for Steed is intended to help you boost your character to new levels, while carrying even more equipment and giving you more options in combat. Surprisingly, my group has found the steeds to be only, "Meh". Our favorite cards from this set are actually the new hirelings, which let you take advantage of extra big items and racial items, and can be sacrificed for fun and profit (only in Munchkin, folks). LOL.

This additiom to munchkin adds in plenty of easy to use cards and some mechanics. It is so much fun and just makes an already great game better.

This small expansion adds hours of Steed like fun to the game. From the Eagle Steed to the Turtle Steed, you will have a great time!This is an EXPANSION. Do not buy this if it is your first munchkin game. It is an AWESOME addition to your munchkin collection.
