  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • WIL WHEATON: When I was 10 years old, I explored my first

  • dungeon and I slayed my first dragon.

  • As the years went on, I became a very serious role-player,

  • looking down my sleek, elven nose at all of those stupid

  • min-maxers around me.

  • But sometimes you don't care about someone's

  • rich personal backstory.

  • You don't care about a character's precious little

  • hopes and dreams.

  • Sometimes, you just want to kick in the door, kill the

  • monster, and take its treasure without any of that pesky

  • role-playing.

  • Today, on TableTop, my friends, Felicia Day, Sandeep

  • Parikh and legendary game designer Steve Jackson are all

  • here so that we can kick in the door, mutilate the bodies

  • and backstab each other as we fight to see which one of us

  • is the biggest Munchkin.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • WIL WHEATON: Welcome to Munchkin, a delightfully cruel

  • parody of role-playing games.

  • The goal is very simple.

  • Get from Level 1 all the way up to Level 10.

  • To do that, we're going to kick in doors, bam, and fight

  • the monsters that we find behind them.

  • Now, if a monster is too tough for us, we can ask

  • our friends for help.

  • Maybe they'll make it less scary.

  • A Level 6 Pukachu is a lot scarier than a

  • Level 1 Baby Pukachu.

  • Of course, if a monster looks like it's getting to be too

  • easy for us to defeat, those same friends will turn around

  • and make that monster harder for us to defeat, like an

  • intelligent Level 11 Pukachu.

  • If we are able to defeat the monster and don't have to run

  • away, we're going to go up a level.

  • And we'll get to take one of its treasures, always

  • something that helps us, like a Plus 3 Bonus Chainsaw Of

  • Bloody Dismemberment.

  • Munchkin is a game where you really find out who your

  • friends are.

  • Generally, not the people sitting around

  • the table with you.

  • One of my favorite games of all time.

  • It is time to play Munchkin.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • FELICIA DAY: I'm Felicia Day.

  • And I'm, probably, most known for making web series or

  • acting sometimes.

  • Yeah, both.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: My name is Sandeep Parikh.

  • And I act in The Guild alongside Felicia Day and the

  • occasional Wil Wheaton.

  • STEVE JACKSON: I'm Steve Jackson.

  • And I make games.

  • And I've been doing it for a long time.

  • And I love it.

  • WIL WHEATON: Steve, you go first.

  • STEVE JACKSON: And I noticed that he started in the door.

  • WIL WHEATON: Yeah.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • STEVE JACKSON: He's already trying to get ahead.

  • FELICIA DAY: Come on, Sandeep.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I'm feeling good.

  • I'm feeling good about my chances.

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh, get that.

  • What the?

  • Cheater!

  • STEVE JACKSON: Well, I'll start by seeing what I drew.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • STEVE JACKSON: I have a Singing & Dancing Sword.

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh.

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh, I always like that one.

  • WIL WHEATON: Good for you.

  • STEVE JACKSON: It will fight for me, no hands.

  • And I can be a Hafling.

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh, congratulations.

  • STEVE JACKSON: And, you know, I am playing music to charm

  • the monsters with a tuba.

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh, my God.

  • You're so musical.

  • WIL WHEATON: [LAUGHS]

  • Yeah.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Well, I know Munchkin pretty well, because

  • I wrote it.

  • OK, time to open a door.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • STEVE JACKSON: Bam.

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh, no.

  • STEVE JACKSON: It's the Shrieking Geek.

  • FELICIA DAY: Ooh.

  • STEVE JACKSON: It's Level 6.

  • Right now, I'm a lousy Level 1, plus 2 bonus, that's 3.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • STEVE JACKSON: I cannot beat this crummy monster by myself.

  • I need more.

  • Who will help me, if it's worth two treasures?

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh, let's see.

  • FELICIA DAY: I do not help anyone.

  • Sorry.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I can't do squat.

  • STEVE JACKSON: I didn't ask you for squat.

  • WIL WHEATON: [LAUGHS]

  • I don't have anything in play yet that I can use.

  • STEVE JACKSON: OK.

  • Well, I could bring myself up to a tie.

  • If anybody could help me with even one point, it would be

  • worth the first treasure.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: You're at 8?

  • WIL WHEATON: I'll join you.

  • STEVE JACKSON: You'll join me?

  • FELICIA DAY: Why are you helping him?

  • WIL WHEATON: I'm helping him because I have dealt with

  • enough shrieking geeks in my life that I just want to see

  • the Shrieking Geek destroyed.

  • I'll help you for a treasure.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Right.

  • WIL WHEATON: OK.

  • First pick.

  • STEVE JACKSON: He's helping me because he's being bribed.

  • So I throw Freezing Explosive Potion at the Shrieking Geek,

  • which almost does the job.

  • And all you have to say is, I'm helping, and

  • step in behind me.

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh.

  • And using the power of help we defeat the Shrieking Geek.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Your level.

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh, if only it was that easy in real life.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: So you guys have a total of how much?

  • STEVE JACKSON: 7.

  • WIL WHEATON: 7.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Oh, no!

  • STEVE JACKSON: 7?

  • That's right.

  • FELICIA DAY: [GASPS]

  • Oh!

  • WIL WHEATON: Really?

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I don't know.

  • I my Shrieking Geek fans.

  • FELICIA DAY: Wow!

  • STEVE JACKSON: It's an Intelligent Shrieking Geek.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: And I have been a shrieking geek, so I'm

  • going to give some intelligence to him.

  • FELICIA DAY: Very high IQ.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Plus 5 to my monster.

  • STEVE JACKSON: You're going to see payback for that.

  • WIL WHEATON: [LAUGHS]

  • FELICIA DAY: Uh-oh.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Predictably, right at the end of your turn.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Bummer.

  • STEVE JACKSON: But for now, we have to suck it up.

  • WIL WHEATON: Sorry, Steve.

  • I can't help you.

  • STEVE JACKSON: I can't do any more.

  • FELICIA DAY: I've played Munchkin about four or five

  • times over the last couple of years.

  • I don't consider myself a pro Munchkin player, but I

  • certainly am exposed to the game.

  • I'm going to be a Thief.

  • WIL WHEATON: I'll find out who you are.

  • FELICIA DAY: I'm going to be a Thief.

  • And that gives me the ability to backstab other people

  • during combat.

  • And thank goodness.

  • I'm an Elf.

  • Look at that, guys.

  • WIL WHEATON: A Thief?

  • Isn't that who you are in Dragon Age?

  • FELICIA DAY: Yeah.

  • STEVE JACKSON: An Elf.

  • A helpful little Elf.

  • WIL WHEATON: It's a little on the nose, isn't it?

  • FELICIA DAY: I'm happy.

  • My Elf card has an elf, a blond elf

  • with really big boobs.

  • And I was just saying it would be nice to be a redhead with

  • big boobs, because I like being an elf.

  • That's for sure.

  • But blond, not so good for this.

  • And [INAUDIBLE].

  • Boom!

  • Oh!

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Harpies!

  • WIL WHEATON: Ooh, the Harpies.

  • FELICIA DAY: And I can best them, because I'm plus

  • 3 and a plus 1.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Mm-hm.

  • FELICIA DAY: So I'm going to assume that I beat these guys.

  • WIL WHEATON: Yep, you do.

  • And you get two treasures.

  • FELICIA DAY: I get two treasures face down.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Face down.

  • FELICIA DAY: And I believe that--

  • STEVE JACKSON: You level.

  • FELICIA DAY: That's the end of my turn.

  • Oh, yes.

  • I do level.

  • WIL WHEATON: You level, because you beat the Harpies.

  • STEVE JACKSON: OK.

  • FELICIA DAY: Thank you.

  • WIL WHEATON: Be proud of being Level 2.

  • FELICIA DAY: Yeah, I am proud.

  • And that's it.

  • WIL WHEATON: All right.

  • Wil's turn.

  • I played in a game with Steve at a very small convention in

  • Austin, Texas.

  • And I won that game.

  • And I got to walk around and proclaim myself the biggest

  • Munchkin for the rest of the day.

  • All right, I'm a Warrior!

  • I am a Warrior carrying the Shield Of Ubiquity for plus 4,

  • because that's awesome.

  • I am going to kick in a door.

  • Bam!

  • Curse!

  • Lose 1 small item.

  • FELICIA DAY: Ooh.

  • WIL WHEATON: But I don't have a small item.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: A big item.

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh, It's a big item.

  • STEVE JACKSON: It's a big item.

  • That's not small.

  • FELICIA DAY: Whew.

  • WIL WHEATON: Suck it, curse.

  • All right.

  • I'm going to go looking for trouble.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • WIL WHEATON: And I am going to fight a Level 2 Pit Bull.

  • And now I am beating the Level 2 Pit Bull because I fight at

  • an effective level of 5, unless anyone wants to mess

  • with me or it.

  • I defeat the Pit Bull.

  • I gain a treasure, one of my favorite treasures ever.

  • And I'm going to cash in a little bit here for a level.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • WIL WHEATON: I have a Pointy Hat Of Power.

  • I also have the Pantyhose Of Giant Strength.

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh.

  • STEVE JACKSON: And you're not putting those on?

  • FELICIA DAY: Why would you not wear those?

  • WIL WHEATON: Because I'm a Warrior.

  • I can't use them.

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh.

  • WIL WHEATON: Not usable by a Warrior.

  • So I'm going to cash those in.

  • And now I'm going to take myself to Level 3.

  • And that will be the end of my turn.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I feel good about my chances.

  • It's just a matter of pulling the right cards.

  • I mean, anything can happen in Munchkin.

  • That's the beauty of the game.

  • All right.

  • WIL WHEATON: You're kicking the door?

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Yes, kicking down the door.

  • My short arms can't reach.

  • WIL WHEATON: There you go.

  • Now you can flip it over.

  • Bam!

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Great.

  • WIL WHEATON: [LAUGHS]

  • So now you can look for trouble.

  • Or if you want, you can loot the room by drawing a face

  • down door card.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: That's what I'm going to do.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • WIL WHEATON: There you go.

  • STEVE JACKSON: You do not have to show that to us.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: OK.

  • My turn is done.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • FELICIA DAY: Who's blue?

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Wil's blue.

  • FELICIA DAY: Wil's not Level 3 any more.

  • He's--

  • WIL WHEATON: What?

  • FELICIA DAY: Steal A Level.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Ooh.

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh!

  • FELICIA DAY: So basically, now I'm Level 3.

  • WIL WHEATON: Ooh!

  • You!

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh, you want to do it.

  • Steve's like, let me help.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • STEVE JACKSON: I want to do it.

  • Yeah.

  • WIL WHEATON: Enjoy Level 3.

  • It was a nice place to be.

  • FELICIA DAY: Yeah, it was.

  • WIL WHEATON: Yeah, it felt good to be up there.

  • FELICIA DAY: I'm going to--

  • I just want to clear my hand out.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Right.

  • Right.

  • Right.

  • FELICIA DAY: So I'm going to Curse.

  • You lose your class, buddy.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Thanks.

  • No!

  • Oh!

  • Dammit!

  • FELICIA DAY: OK.

  • And I'm going to kick in the door.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Kick it!

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh!

  • Poom!

  • STEVE JACKSON: Kick it hard.

  • Boom!

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh!

  • Warrior.

  • STEVE JACKSON: And you can be a Warrior.

  • FELICIA DAY: I don't really want to be a Warrior.

  • I like being a Thief the best.

  • I am a Thief.

  • So I'm hoping, somehow, I get to backstab someone, just

  • because that's my ability.

  • And I'm going to use it if I have it.

  • WIL WHEATON: I am going to take advantage of this

  • Convenient Addition Error that I stole from Sandeep.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Oh!

  • WIL WHEATON: To go up a level.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: That hurts.

  • FELICIA DAY: That really actually hurts.

  • WIL WHEATON: Which is awesome.

  • FELICIA DAY: Yeah, that's pretty nice.

  • WIL WHEATON: And I'm right back here at Level 3, where I

  • belonged all along.

  • FELICIA DAY: Ooh.

  • Get out of my room.

  • WIL WHEATON: And now I'm going to kick in a door.

  • Bam!

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Ooh.

  • WIL WHEATON: Ooh, Illusion.

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh, that's a good one.

  • WIL WHEATON: This is a super useful card.

  • FELICIA DAY: The biggest threat to me is Wil Wheaton,

  • because I know that he plays a lot of Munchkin.

  • I think he's kind of underplaying what

  • he has in his hand.

  • And I think he might come out swinging a little bit.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Make it boom.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Boom!

  • WIL WHEATON: Level 8.

  • STEVE JACKSON: The Ghoulfiends.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Ghoulfiends!

  • Love it.

  • WIL WHEATON: This says, no items help against them.

  • Fight with your level only.

  • You can try to run away for fun.

  • But you get a plus 2 to run away.

  • You should try to run away, Sandeep.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: OK, let's run away.

  • WIL WHEATON: I mean, you're wearing the shoes.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Guys, let's run away.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • FELICIA DAY: You're going to-- oh, not.

  • WIL WHEATON: You've successfully run away.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Yes.

  • I accomplished nothing.

  • WIL WHEATON: And it's like Comic-Con 2009 all over again.

  • FELICIA DAY: Steve is the dude who owns the game, so he's

  • probably the best player.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Door time.

  • Boom!

  • FELICIA DAY: Ooh.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Be something little and wimpy.

  • Yes!

  • FELICIA DAY: Why do you always--

  • WIL WHEATON: What is with you with the

  • little, wimpy monsters?

  • FELICIA DAY: You do.

  • It's not fair.

  • STEVE JACKSON: A cheap shot is still a shot.

  • OK, the Large Angry Chicken.

  • FELICIA DAY: Guys, we have to group up on him.

  • I think he knows this game really well.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I think he can hear you whispering.

  • STEVE JACKSON: So if nobody's messing with me, I'm--

  • WIL WHEATON: Well, actually, as it turns out--

  • Steve kept drawing Level 2 monsters.

  • So I decided, enough with the Level 2 monsters.

  • I must draw a line.

  • And then I went through every card in my hand, to make sure

  • that that didn't happen.

  • Please enjoy the Wandering Floating Nose.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Ooh!

  • FELICIA DAY: Ooh!

  • STEVE JACKSON: OK.

  • FELICIA DAY: There's drips.

  • WIL WHEATON: The Floating Nose is a horrible one.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Level 10, so that's 12 levels of stuff.

  • WIL WHEATON: It's 12 levels of oh, crap.

  • FELICIA DAY: Yeah.

  • WIL WHEATON: Yeah.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: That's going to be tough to beat.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Well, does anybody--

  • including you, dammit--

  • want to help me against 12 levels of stuff?

  • WIL WHEATON: But see, you fight at Level 4?

  • STEVE JACKSON: Yeah.

  • FELICIA DAY: I fight at 7.

  • WIL WHEATON: You know, as it turns out, I can actually help

  • you defeat--

  • STEVE JACKSON: You could actually help.

  • WIL WHEATON: I could help you defeat the Floating Nose for

  • all the treasure.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Nonsense.

  • I'll give you the first and the last.

  • FELICIA DAY: Steve is definitely a big bargainer.

  • I'd never actually played with anybody who wanted

  • to wheel and deal.

  • I felt like sometimes, I was at a flea market.

  • Yeah, I'm going to help you out with all the treasure.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Now, I'm not taking that from you any more

  • than I'm taking--

  • WIL WHEATON: Wait.

  • Why are you giving him the same deal I'm giving him?

  • FELICIA DAY: Because, now I think about it--

  • WIL WHEATON: Because you're an Elf.

  • And you want to go up a level.

  • FELICIA DAY: Well, I'm thinking about it.

  • STEVE JACKSON: You should help me for none of the treasure,

  • because you get a level.

  • FELICIA DAY: No.

  • I'm not helping you for none of the treasure.

  • Hello?

  • I'll take the first and the last treasure.

  • STEVE JACKSON: The first.

  • FELICIA DAY: No.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Fine.

  • The first and the last.

  • FELICIA DAY: Yes!

  • Yes!

  • Did you see my poker face?

  • WIL WHEATON: What an incredible bargain you drive.

  • FELICIA DAY: So I could get 8.

  • And that's it.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I could get you over the top.

  • FELICIA DAY: Really?

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Yeah.

  • FELICIA DAY: No.

  • We're going to combo up and help you out.

  • The most fun round was when I jumped in to help Steve.

  • And then Sandeep jumped in to help Steve.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Three of us tried to cooperate.

  • And Wil was the odd man out, because I

  • didn't take his deal.

  • FELICIA DAY: That means you'll go up a level.

  • I'll go up a level.

  • You get one treasure.

  • I get one treasure.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: No, give me both treasures, because you're

  • both getting levels.

  • I'm not getting squat.

  • I'm still on Level 1, sitting here like a little dufus.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • FELICIA DAY: OK.

  • WIL WHEATON: So go ahead and throw in.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Here we go.

  • Throw it.

  • She's helping me.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I feel like you're going to try to--

  • WIL WHEATON: You should be nervous.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Really?

  • WIL WHEATON: Yeah.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: You're playing Munchkin with me.

  • You should be nervous.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Well, come on, guy.

  • WIL WHEATON: OK.

  • There's your Cotion Of Ponfusion, which gives you

  • guys plus 3 to your side.

  • FELICIA DAY: Nice.

  • WIL WHEATON: It's a bummer.

  • It's such a bummer that the Large Angry Chicken brought

  • out his Pretty Balloons.

  • FELICIA DAY: No!

  • WIL WHEATON: Giving himself an additional plus 5.

  • FELICIA DAY: Wow!

  • WIL WHEATON: [LAUGHS]

  • STEVE JACKSON: Ooh!

  • That is harsh.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Yeah.

  • Well no, he's good.

  • He's a sly devil.

  • FELICIA DAY: He's definitely one of those guys that loves

  • to keep that backstab or that one card in his back pocket to

  • just own other people.

  • He's kind of like a sniper, I would say, a sniper player.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Then here we go.

  • We can't do anything.

  • FELICIA DAY: OK.

  • STEVE JACKSON: We'll let you do the running first.

  • FELICIA DAY: I'm going to run first.

  • I've got a plus 1 as an elf.

  • STEVE JACKSON: From the chicken?

  • FELICIA DAY: Oops!

  • Oh, gosh.

  • STEVE JACKSON: OK.

  • FELICIA DAY: Ooh!

  • STEVE JACKSON: Oh!

  • FELICIA DAY: I got a 6, a 7.

  • STEVE JACKSON: You totally got away from the chicken.

  • FELICIA DAY: I got away from the--

  • STEVE JACKSON: Now you've got to run away from

  • the Floating Nose.

  • FELICIA DAY: I've got both of them?

  • STEVE JACKSON: Yes.

  • WIL WHEATON: Those were monsters.

  • STEVE JACKSON: They're both after both of us.

  • FELICIA DAY: Do I have to run away from the balloons?

  • STEVE JACKSON: No.

  • WIL WHEATON: No.

  • FELICIA DAY: OK.

  • STEVE JACKSON: That's just a helper.

  • WIL WHEATON: They can't help you.

  • FELICIA DAY: 5.

  • STEVE JACKSON: 4?

  • You got away from both of them.

  • FELICIA DAY: Is that plus?

  • What?

  • Plus 4.

  • WIL WHEATON: Dammit!

  • FELICIA DAY: Yes.

  • STEVE JACKSON: OK.

  • Now I've got to run away from both of them.

  • FELICIA DAY: OK.

  • STEVE JACKSON: The tuba gives me a plus 3.

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh.

  • WIL WHEATON: Does it really give you plus 3 to run away?

  • FELICIA DAY: That's crazy.

  • STEVE JACKSON: You thought I was bluffing.

  • You weren't even reading my card.

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh, that's great.

  • That's awesome.

  • STEVE JACKSON: OK.

  • FELICIA DAY: You are good.

  • You are good.

  • STEVE JACKSON: I want to not roll a 1.

  • FELICIA DAY: OK.

  • WIL WHEATON: Please roll a 1.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Got away from the chicken.

  • WIL WHEATON: All right.

  • You got away from the chicken.

  • FELICIA DAY: You're schizophrenic in this game.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Same roll to get away from

  • the Floating Nose.

  • WIL WHEATON: At this point--

  • STEVE JACKSON: I got away from the Floating Nose.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Wow.

  • FELICIA DAY: And we blew all our great cards.

  • And it turned out to be a wash.

  • And it was kind of fun, actually, because there was a

  • lot of coordination.

  • And even though it was a net zero, it was actually

  • a really fun round.

  • STEVE JACKSON: So you did not hurt us.

  • You did not hurt my friend here, who tried to help me,

  • though, there was a level in it for her.

  • FELICIA DAY: Just out of the good of my heart.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Done.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • FELICIA DAY: Because this is a hot redhead in leather armor,

  • I'm going to put my Slimy Armor away and get the hot

  • Leather Armor on.

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh, my God.

  • FELICIA DAY: Just for looks.

  • WIL WHEATON: No, seriously.

  • It's Dragon Age all over again.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Felicia, she uses her sex to

  • get what she wants.

  • She's like, oh, oh, I'm going to put this Leather Armor on,

  • guys, trying to distract you to make you visualize her in

  • leather armor.

  • FELICIA DAY: My rationale is that people might not make me

  • a target, because I'm cute.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • A little bit.

  • I don't know.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I don't like it.

  • FELICIA DAY: Bam!

  • Ooh!

  • Level 4, Snails on Speed.

  • And since that is a Level 4 and I'm at a Level 15, I am

  • going to kill him, unless somebody

  • would like to do something.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Let's put this poor

  • bastard out of his misery.

  • FELICIA DAY: [LAUGHS]

  • WIL WHEATON: Yeah, seriously.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: All right.

  • FELICIA DAY: And I get two treasure.

  • And I can put down an item, which is a plus 4 bonus Cloak

  • Of Obscurity, only usable by thieves.

  • But I'm a Thief.

  • STEVE JACKSON: That's her.

  • OK.

  • FELICIA DAY: I'm looking so good.

  • My outfit is so good right now.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Oh, hey, I'm Felicia.

  • Oh, I'm Felicia.

  • Oh, I want my clothes to be pretty.

  • FELICIA DAY: Just for my outfit's sake--

  • STEVE JACKSON: That, guys, is a hint.

  • FELICIA DAY: I'm going to put my bow in my

  • backpack, because I--

  • WIL WHEATON: What?

  • FELICIA DAY: I want to use a Buckler and a Sneaky Bastard

  • Sword, just because my outfit's going to

  • look cooler that way.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Yeah.

  • FELICIA DAY: I had a Cloak.

  • I had a Leather Armor on.

  • I had an awesome dagger and a buckler.

  • And I was looking good.

  • FELICIA DAY: And scene.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Wow.

  • Good scene.

  • WIL WHEATON: Wow.

  • That was really a good scene for you.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Good scene.

  • WIL WHEATON: OK.

  • FELICIA DAY: I look so pretty now.

  • WIL WHEATON: OK.

  • FELICIA DAY: Hubba!

  • WIL WHEATON: OK, I'm going to kick in a door.

  • Bam!

  • It's a Level 4 Undead Horse.

  • FELICIA DAY: Ooh.

  • WIL WHEATON: Now I'm going to fight the Undead Horse.

  • I am fighting at Level 7.

  • The Undead Horse is Level 4, so I'm beating it handily,

  • unless anyone wants to mess with me.

  • The Undead Horse is dead, which means

  • that I gain a level.

  • And I get two treasures.

  • And I think the first thing I have to do is immediately Boil

  • An Anthill.

  • FELICIA DAY: Aw.

  • WIL WHEATON: In celebration of defeating that guy there.

  • And I will now go up another level.

  • Also, I am going to sell my Chainsaw Of Bloody

  • Dismemberment.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Gee.

  • WIL WHEATON: For double, because I'm a Halfling.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Yeah.

  • WIL WHEATON: So that takes it up to 1,200, which means that

  • I gain another level.

  • FELICIA DAY: OK, somebody needs to stop.

  • WIL WHEATON: To Level 7, OK?

  • STEVE JACKSON: [INAUDIBLE].

  • WIL WHEATON: And really?

  • You're going to talk about stopping?

  • FELICIA DAY: Look.

  • I'm ready.

  • I'm dressed for success.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • WIL WHEATON: I think Felicia completely misses the point of

  • Munchkin, because she cares about how her character looks.

  • But honestly, this is what it's like with her with

  • everything in the world.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: This is scored like golf right?

  • Like the lowest?

  • FELICIA DAY: [LAUGHS]

  • WIL WHEATON: You know what?

  • No.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: OK.

  • Let's kick down a door.

  • WIL WHEATON: Here's a card.

  • Door coming.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Bam!

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh, no!

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh!

  • Lose Your Race!

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Awesome.

  • WIL WHEATON: But you don't have a race, so who cares?

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Well, do I have to lose my physical--

  • WIL WHEATON: No.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I'm no longer Indian.

  • WIL WHEATON: Yeah.

  • FELICIA DAY: [LAUGHS]

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I'm no longer Indian.

  • WIL WHEATON: Yeah.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Oh!

  • Cursed again!

  • [LAUGHS]

  • It's so fair.

  • WIL WHEATON: But you can loot the room.

  • FELICIA DAY: You can loot the room and get

  • another door thing.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I'm going to have to do it.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: [SIGHS]

  • FELICIA DAY: It's a good card.

  • I could tell from that face.

  • WIL WHEATON: Yeah.

  • Yeah.

  • FELICIA DAY: What is that?

  • Excellent card?

  • WIL WHEATON: Yep.

  • That's his I love this card face.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: All right.

  • Let's see.

  • That is the end of my turn.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh!

  • WIL WHEATON: Aw.

  • So sad.

  • STEVE JACKSON: I have nothing to do, except kick down a door

  • with the same old tuba.

  • Beep!

  • Bam!

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh!

  • Oh!

  • Oh!

  • STEVE JACKSON: Oh!

  • Oh!

  • A nasty one.

  • WIL WHEATON: King Tut!

  • STEVE JACKSON: One that I'm going to have to

  • ask for help on.

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh, Tut.

  • WIL WHEATON: King Tut, mm-hm.

  • That guy is a dick.

  • STEVE JACKSON: It is King Tut.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I want to help.

  • FELICIA DAY: I will help you.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Well, OK.

  • We need a 16.

  • And I think we decided I was fighting as a 10.

  • FELICIA DAY: Yeah.

  • STEVE JACKSON: And so we know you both can help me.

  • Let's hear your offers to help me.

  • I know you get a level if you help.

  • FELICIA DAY: i will offer, out of the

  • goodness of my elf heart.

  • STEVE JACKSON: You'll do it for free.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Oh, crap.

  • WIL WHEATON: Your what?

  • Your what?

  • FELICIA DAY: Goodness of my elf heart.

  • WIL WHEATON: Elf fart?

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Oh, man.

  • WIL WHEATON: Ha!

  • Fart jokes, never not funny!

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh.

  • STEVE JACKSON: I'm accepting her help.

  • OK, I get two levels for King Tut.

  • FELICIA DAY: And I get one level, because I'm a elf.

  • STEVE JACKSON: You get one level, because you are an elf

  • with a Southern accent.

  • FELICIA DAY: I'm an elf.

  • STEVE JACKSON: I get them all, but you see them.

  • WIL WHEATON: Yuppie Water.

  • The Eleven Foot Pole.

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh, that was what we were talking about.

  • WIL WHEATON: Doppleganger!

  • FELICIA DAY: Doppleganger!

  • Oh, that's nice.

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh, and Mithril Armor.

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh!

  • Whoa!

  • STEVE JACKSON: So the question is, can I use any of these?

  • We'll see.

  • Well, the armor's big.

  • I've already got a tuba.

  • FELICIA DAY: The tuba is a nice item, I have to say.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Mm-hm.

  • WIL WHEATON: Yeah.

  • So that's a vote of confidence for you, band geeks, straight

  • from the mouth of Felicia Day.

  • STEVE JACKSON: This is a lovely card.

  • WIL WHEATON: Feel good about yourselves when you're out

  • there walking on the street in front of the school at 6

  • o'clock in the morning.

  • FELICIA DAY: I think a euphonium is the sexiest

  • instrument.

  • It's a tiny tuba.

  • WIL WHEATON: Wow.

  • FELICIA DAY: And it's the most underutilized

  • instrument of the--

  • STEVE JACKSON: People who even know what a euphonium is--

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Why do you know that?

  • FELICIA DAY: It's because I'm a music major.

  • There's was a guy named Ezra, who was the

  • euphonium player in the--

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: And did you hook up with that guy?

  • FELICIA DAY: No.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Come on.

  • FELICIA DAY: No.

  • Definitely not.

  • WIL WHEATON: No.

  • You know why?

  • Because his tuba was so tiny.

  • FELICIA DAY: [LAUGHS]

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Ooh.

  • WIL WHEATON: Yeah.

  • STEVE JACKSON: It's not the size of the instrument, Will.

  • We keep telling you.

  • OK.

  • WIL WHEATON: [LAUGHS]

  • STEVE JACKSON: 1,000, selling.

  • Leveling, please.

  • Dumping in treasure discards.

  • WIL WHEATON: All right!

  • Everybody's at level--

  • sev-- oh.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Yeah.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Wah, wah.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Finishing.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Day 47.

  • Level 2 is starting to eat at my soul.

  • WIL WHEATON: Sandeep is a good Munchkin player.

  • He just kind of got hosed by the deck.

  • There just wasn't a lot for him to do.

  • STEVE JACKSON: I hate it when it happens to me.

  • It was OK when it happened to him.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • FELICIA DAY: I'm going to kick down the door.

  • WIL WHEATON: Bam!

  • FELICIA DAY: Bam!

  • Oh, it's a Wight Brothers!

  • [GASPS]

  • WIL WHEATON: Ooh, it's a Wight Brothers.

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh, they are nasty.

  • But I think I out-level them.

  • So I am Level 7.

  • And then I have--

  • oh, 8 plus 14 is 22.

  • I kill them my own self.

  • WIL WHEATON: They are super bad news.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I know.

  • It's too bad they spawned.

  • FELICIA DAY: [GASPS]

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh no!

  • Mate!

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I guess no one's helping me, so I'm going

  • to just screw you over.

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh!

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • FELICIA DAY: I have a Magic Lamp.

  • STEVE JACKSON: If you use that, you [INAUDIBLE].

  • FELICIA DAY: If I use this, I could get rid of the Mate.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Yes.

  • FELICIA DAY: And I could level two levels with this and take

  • four treasures.

  • So I'm going to do that.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Unless we mess with her, she's going to go up

  • to Level 9.

  • WIL WHEATON: Yep.

  • STEVE JACKSON: And she will get eight treasures.

  • FELICIA DAY: OK, guys.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I think--

  • STEVE JACKSON: No [INAUDIBLE].

  • WIL WHEATON: Hang on.

  • Hang on.

  • I got this.

  • Curse.

  • Lose one big item.

  • FELICIA DAY: Lose a big item?

  • WIL WHEATON: Yeah.

  • Lose a big item.

  • FELICIA DAY: I could use the Big Rock.

  • WIL WHEATON: Use your Big Rock.

  • FELICIA DAY: So I have to discard it.

  • WIL WHEATON: OK.

  • FELICIA DAY: But it says 7?

  • WIL WHEATON: Now tell me what your level is.

  • FELICIA DAY: 7 plus 8 is 15, 16, 17, 18.

  • WIL WHEATON: OK.

  • The Wight Brothers are now Level 19.

  • FELICIA DAY: [SIGHS]

  • You're the worst ever.

  • WIL WHEATON: I'm pretty sure that, when you say

  • worst, you mean best.

  • FELICIA DAY: No.

  • Absolutely not.

  • WIL WHEATON: [LAUGHS]

  • Are you sure?

  • FELICIA DAY: I mean, my English is clear.

  • OK, what's your deal, Steve?

  • STEVE JACKSON: I can give you plus 2.

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Which pushes you over.

  • And I'll do it for the first two

  • treasures out of your eight.

  • FELICIA DAY: Absolutely, Steve.

  • I mean, that is a--

  • WIL WHEATON: What are you doing?

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Why would you do that?

  • Why are you giving her the game?

  • WIL WHEATON: Wow.

  • STEVE JACKSON: I'm not.

  • I'm only giving her Level 9.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I will slash your tires.

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh!

  • STEVE JACKSON: You will have to come to

  • Austin to slash my tires.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Yeah.

  • I'll fly out there.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: It's worth my time.

  • FELICIA DAY: So alright.

  • That's a good deal.

  • Absolutely.

  • [INAUDIBLE].

  • STEVE JACKSON: I'm helping you.

  • FELICIA DAY: All right.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Playing.

  • FELICIA DAY: Whoa!

  • OK, great.

  • WIL WHEATON: Yuppie Water.

  • FELICIA DAY: All right.

  • I was 18 before.

  • Now I'm 20.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Against his 19.

  • FELICIA DAY: Yeah.

  • WIL WHEATON: Yeah.

  • No, no, no, no, 19.

  • 19.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Yeah, that's what I said.

  • WIL WHEATON: You're too young.

  • You don't know what I just referenced.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: What's the reference?

  • WIL WHEATON: I'm referencing Paul Hardcastle's seminal '80s

  • tune, "19."

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Oh, God.

  • I fell asleep while you were talking.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh, that was a good one.

  • You should get an extra card.

  • You should get a treasure for that.

  • WIL WHEATON: Shut up!

  • FELICIA DAY: You lose!

  • We beat the Wight Brothers.

  • STEVE JACKSON: I've got the decider.

  • I say you get a--

  • Felicia is a deeply frightening player.

  • She is paying attention all the time.

  • WIL WHEATON: What is going on?

  • FELICIA DAY: Well, that's our eight treasures.

  • I go up two levels.

  • I'm Level 9 now.

  • Steve stays back there.

  • But he gets two, the top two.

  • STEVE JACKSON: I'm going to take these.

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Yes.

  • FELICIA DAY: You are the worst.

  • STEVE JACKSON: You didn't make the noise.

  • FELICIA DAY: You're not the worst.

  • STEVE JACKSON: yeah.

  • He's the worst.

  • I'm the second worst.

  • FELICIA DAY: He's the worst.

  • You're the second worst.

  • STEVE JACKSON: I'm going up two levels.

  • FELICIA DAY: Oh, wow.

  • STEVE JACKSON: When Felicia went to Level 9, because we

  • worked together, I got the first two treasure cards.

  • And I went up right behind her.

  • So it's not all stabbing.

  • You have to help people.

  • And then you stab them.

  • FELICIA DAY: We are so close, guys.

  • I can smell the gold coins.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Give me something.

  • I'm going to kick this door down.

  • Bam!

  • I got a Curse.

  • Of course, I do.

  • WIL WHEATON: [LAUGHS]

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: This game would not be complete without

  • cursing me one more time.

  • Oh, hey!

  • I'm Sandeep.

  • I'm really attractive and normal.

  • And oh, I pulled a curse.

  • And then another curse and another curse.

  • That's pretty much the game.

  • So I will be fighting with a 2.

  • FELICIA DAY: Ooh.

  • That's kind of sad, dude.

  • I helped you out.

  • You look awesome.

  • Look at this bandana.

  • The dude didn't really get a chance.

  • I mean, his card pulls were so bad, I felt

  • kind of bad for him.

  • That's why I gave him a bandana.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Here we go again.

  • FELICIA DAY: I gave you a bandana.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • STEVE JACKSON: Here comes the boom.

  • FELICIA DAY: Boom!

  • STEVE JACKSON: A Lame Goblin.

  • [ALL]

  • Oh.

  • WIL WHEATON: Balls!

  • FELICIA DAY: Guys, we can't let this happen.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I just picked up a pretty good spoiler.

  • What has he got going on?

  • Let's read his--

  • FELICIA DAY: What level are you?

  • WIL WHEATON: If he beats the Lame Goblin, he wins the game.

  • STEVE JACKSON: I'm Level 9.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Right.

  • No, we have to stop him, clearly.

  • STEVE JACKSON: I add to it a crummy 6, so I'm--

  • FELICIA DAY: So you're at Level 15.

  • STEVE JACKSON: What would happen if you helped me win?

  • FELICIA DAY: Nothing will happen,

  • because I would not win.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Wrong.

  • Wrong.

  • WIL WHEATON: No, you'll actually go up a level.

  • FELICIA DAY: So we would win together.

  • WIL WHEATON: And you'd win together.

  • You would have a shared victory.

  • STEVE JACKSON: We would go to Level 10 at the same moment.

  • FELICIA DAY: Ooh.

  • It feels a little dirty, but I might do it.

  • Let's see what you guys have.

  • WIL WHEATON: Every nerd in the world just backed this up and

  • recorded, "It feels a little dirty, but I want to see you

  • do it."

  • FELICIA DAY: Yeah.

  • WIL WHEATON: Yeah.

  • That chip is being put into Build-A-Bears

  • all over the country.

  • FELICIA DAY: Build-A-Bears?

  • Really?

  • WIL WHEATON: Right now.

  • Yeah.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Come on, folks, let's

  • just take them down.

  • WIL WHEATON: Yep.

  • FELICIA DAY: It's going to be such a cliche if he wins.

  • WIL WHEATON: First of all, that Lame

  • Goblin is an Illusion.

  • FELICIA DAY: Wow.

  • WIL WHEATON: It's actually a Level 8 Amazon.

  • STEVE JACKSON: OK.

  • Well--

  • WIL WHEATON: Your move, Sandeep.

  • STEVE JACKSON: That made it a little harder.

  • WIL WHEATON: Humongous by itself.

  • STEVE JACKSON: [INAUDIBLE]

  • Amazon.

  • FELICIA DAY: Ooh.

  • WIL WHEATON: What's up?

  • All right.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Fine.

  • I have a Doppleganger.

  • Double my combat strength.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Oh, fine.

  • FELICIA DAY: Whoa!

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh!

  • STEVE JACKSON: I'm showing 30 against the 18.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: I've got very little.

  • FELICIA DAY: Put it in there.

  • It might make the difference.

  • WIL WHEATON: You should do everything.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Don't hold anything back.

  • So now I'm a level 26, because I just got potions.

  • FELICIA DAY: So I can backstab for 2, correct?

  • WIL WHEATON: Yes.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Which would get it down to 6.

  • FELICIA DAY: And then I have a plus 5 to either side.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Which would get it down to 1.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Come on!

  • FELICIA DAY: [LAUGHS]

  • So now--

  • STEVE JACKSON: I'm 1 up.

  • WIL WHEATON: He's still beating it by one point.

  • I think we've done everything we can do.

  • STEVE JACKSON: You're tapped.

  • You're tapped.

  • You're tapped.

  • FELICIA DAY: I'm tapped out.

  • All I have is a Rat On A Stick.

  • So that's not doing anything.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Move me.

  • WIL WHEATON: Steve Jackson?

  • STEVE JACKSON: Move me, henchman.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Oh!

  • FELICIA DAY: Steve just pwned us.

  • STEVE JACKSON: The worst that could have happened would have

  • been sharing victory with Felicia.

  • WIL WHEATON: Steve Jackson is the winner of Munchkin.

  • Sandeep and Felicia, I will join you on the couch of

  • defeat in just a moment.

  • STEVE JACKSON: And it was one level away

  • from a shared victory.

  • If she had popped up one more level--

  • FELICIA DAY: [LAUGHS]

  • Bam!

  • STEVE JACKSON: I would have had to let her again.

  • WIL WHEATON: Steve?

  • I will see you downstairs in front of the Wall of Victory.

  • STEVE JACKSON: The Wall of Victory!

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Steve?

  • Well, clearly, he has to create games to win them, OK?

  • That's all I'm going to say.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • WIL WHEATON: Well, the important thing is we try.

  • FELICIA DAY: Yes.

  • WIL WHEATON: The good thing about losing on TableTop is

  • that, while the winner just gets a trophy, the losers get

  • a glass full of bourbon.

  • But the bad news about losing on TableTop is that it's not

  • actually bourbon.

  • It's carbonated iced tea.

  • FELICIA DAY: Well, it's a web show.

  • WIL WHEATON: Yeah.

  • So we should--

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Mm, it tastes poisony.

  • FELICIA DAY: Mm-hm.

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh, God.

  • That's what losing tastes like.

  • FELICIA DAY: It does not taste good.

  • WIL WHEATON: This is what losing tastes like.

  • FELICIA DAY: I think I am sated.

  • WIL WHEATON: OK.

  • I'm going to go downstairs and talk to Steve and find out

  • what winning tastes like.

  • I'm fairly confident it doesn't taste like

  • carbonated ice tea.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: Do I have to keep sitting on the floor?

  • WIL WHEATON: Yes.

  • FELICIA DAY: [SIGHS]

  • [WHISPERS]

  • It's OK.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: He's the worst.

  • FELICIA DAY: You can have mine.

  • Ooh, don't.

  • Ooh.

  • SANDEEP PARIKH: [BELCH]

  • WIL WHEATON: We are standing here in front

  • of the Wall of Victory.

  • Steve Jackson, who, of course, went to Level 10, is here as

  • the main resident of the Hall of Victory today on TableTop.

  • Steve, congratulations.

  • By winning the game, you get the official TableTop Trophy

  • of Awesome.

  • As you can tell, we spared no expense on the trophy.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Can I touch it?

  • WIL WHEATON: Of course, you can touch it.

  • As a matter of fact, I'm going to put your name on it right

  • now, so that everyone knows it's yours.

  • There.

  • Go ahead and hold that trophy up.

  • Now, if you'd like to tell the folks at home anything, if you

  • have any thank-yous, or if you'd like to threaten your

  • enemies, now is the time to do it.

  • STEVE JACKSON: I have no enemies left.

  • WIL WHEATON: [LAUGHS]

  • They've already been vanquished?

  • STEVE JACKSON: Thank you, for a great game.

  • WIL WHEATON: Well, thank you, for a great game.

  • STEVE JACKSON: It was so much fun to be here.

  • And it was so much fun to tromp you all.

  • WIL WHEATON: Oh.

  • That's fantastic.

  • Now I need the trophy back, because it's a

  • very low-budget show.

  • We can't afford trophies for everyone.

  • STEVE JACKSON: Got it.

  • Got it.

  • WIL WHEATON: But here is the tape with your name on it, so

  • that, for the rest of the day, you and everyone you meet will

  • know that your name is Steve.

  • STEVE JACKSON: I'm speechless.

  • WIL WHEATON: As you should be.

  • Thanks for watching.

  • See you next time on TableTop.
