Munchkin 4: The Need for Steed is the latest expansion for the original Munchkin game – with 112 new cards illustrated by John Kovalic to slay monsters, steal treasure, and betray your fellow players. This expansion introduces Steeds, legendary beasts... or wait, this is Munchkin! So these Steeds include not only the Dragon and the Tiger, but also the Giant Mutant Gerbil (drawn by guest artist Shaenon K. Garrity of Narbonic), the Chicken, and Big Joe, who might be a Steed or might be a Hireling – it's hard to tell.

Hirelings? Yes, The Need for Steed is full of them! They're a lot like Sidekicks from Super Munchkin or Minions from Munchkin Bites! Add these valuable characters to your retinue, exploit their special abilities, and sacrifice them without a second thought to save your own skin! Or even better, kill someone else's Hireling. That's how a true Munchkin does it!
