A "Can you kill 'em" meter for role playing board & card games including Munchkin and its many variants. It can also be used as a simple score counter or scorekeeper for all kinds of games. To summarize: it's a calculator specifically for games like Munchkin. If you think it's going to be more than this, you will be disappointed. FEATURES - The easiest way to track the combat strength of your character and your opponent to see if you can beat them in a battle. - Works with many board & card games including all variants of Munchkin (including Epic Munchkin, Munchkin Cthulhu, Munchkin Zombies, etc.) and makes those games more enjoyable to play. - Countless improvements over the official Level Counter app for tracking combat strength! - Simple number pad interface with convenience buttons for +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, -1, -2, -3, -4, and -5. - Ticker Tape (History) shows the current tally, so you won't be all like, "Wait, you're at 17. Did we count that +2 Bonus over there? I can't remember." You'll see that the +2 bonus in the history! - You can even change the hero, monster, and background to better suit your style or the game variant you're playing! - Makes RPG board and card games more accessible for younger kids who possibly can't do math in their heads very well or very quickly. - From Downcast Systems, creators of mobile RPG puzzle games like Puzzlewood Quests and The Hangman's Noose. Munchkin is a registered trademark of Steve Jackson Games, and Downcast System is not affiliated with Munchkin or Steve Jackson Games (creators of Munchkin) in any way. This app is simply a utility to make an awesome RPG card game even better.
