Munchkin Treasure Hunt. I finally found one. A bit hard to find, but thanks to my eagle-eyed 5yo, we spotted it in the games aisle of Toys R Us – which has exclusive rights to sell the game. It was smaller than I figured it’d be. That wasn’t a problem, but it did throw me…

I was interviewing +Doug Davison and a few times we mentioned the GURPS included ruleset. Overall impressions after five hours of play: The graphics are impressive. The player side of the interface handles things well enough. It takes…
