    For the First Day of Christmas we got Munchkin Christmas Lite .

    Munchkin Christmas Lite is a stand alone game from Steve Jackson Games. Which I’m a huge fan of because it’s an inexpensive way to introduce Munchkin to  people or to try it for yourself with an MSRP of $9.95.

    Also for those who already have Munchkin this is a great addition to their game for the holidays as it can be combined with any other Munchkin Set.
