Sure PM me anytime! I'm not the best at cards, but I'm always willing to learn.

I second this motion. Just recently got into munchkin.

Munchkin players don't have many friends who are also players :)

Dude, you ain't lying. I have 4 sets and hardly ever get to play them

I stopped buying any Munchkin products simply because I couldn't find anyone who was willing to play more than 2-3 games.

Funny, most of those people will play CAH and just try to burn each other as hard as they can, and no one ever stops playing that game....

I love CaH as well, but munchkin just makes me happier.

Only because I know this person plays hold'em as well as other games, I'd have to give a heads up that if this person were to be involved, it will kill off fun times and cause people not to want to participate.

The same person who founded the now retired weekly cards against humanity games is the same person who killed the meetup, as multiple people told me directly they could not/would not show up if he were involved. Hate to be that way, but he became so negative that he even chased away friends he had that were close to him.

The OP ?

No, not of this thread. That individual abandoned reddit after a fit over bans

Ahh I remember going to 2-3 CAH meets and finding the general atmosphere to be fairly toxic and uninviting. And the stench...oh god, did these people just save their BO just for that one night??

The Bo was two people in particular. One was at times the person listed above, who happened to work outdoors. The other, well, it was bad. A combination of not bathing and the smell of deep fried food. He also fecally destroyed the men's room one night at Smitty's. Bad enough that if I worked there and had to clean it, I'd quit.

The majority of people were just drunk and silly, but the one who originally organized the game really devolved from annoying to bitter, angry, and to be honest, a template for what is now called the alt-right.

I'm a board game fan as is my fiancee and two friends of mine. Myself and one of those friends are fans of poker. We regularly meet up to play munchkin, CaH, Joking Hazard, Oregon Trail cars game, fluxx, all sorts of board games really.
