Munchkin
The original game is just what its name says: original.
You go into a dungeon to slay monsters like the Potted Plant and the Drooling Slime, work your way deeper and deeper to match yourself with even harder monsters like the Plutonium Dragon.
On your way, capture treasures like Don the Horny Helmet or the Boots of Butt-Kicking. And when your friends aren't paying attention, make a habit of stealing their stuff.

Munchkin 2 - Unnatural Axe
112 more cards, created by Steve Jackson, illustrated by John Kovalic.
Go deeper into the dungeon, as a new race perhaps? Go as Orc and fight the Tentacle Demons. Shouldn't be hard equiped with Spiked Codpiece, the Catapult or the Unnatural Axe.
If you can't handle the heat, recruit some allies, the Shoulder Dragon will do fine.
This expansion was designed for Munchkin, but it will play with Munchkin Fu or Munchkin Bites too.

Munchkin 3.5 - Clerical Errata
This is a special one.
Murphy's law caused soem delay in the print of Munchkin 3 - Clerical Errors. To be more precise, 28 of the cards in that set were printed with the wrong back. They were reprinted, but the misprints were made available in Munchkin 3.5 - Clerical Errata, just for the collectors.
This expansion contains 28 cards who are also available in the Munchkin 3 - Clerical Errors expansion. However, they have different backgrounds and thus play differently (if at all).

Munchkin 5 - De-Ranged
Dungeons are soooo retro.
Steve Jackson and John Kovalic lead the Munchkins out of the dungeon and into the woods. 112 new cards to breath the fresh air of the forest.
Munchkin 5 - De-Ranged features the ranger class. The Munchkin tamers can tame monsters and then use them for their own purposes. Who wouldn't want to send a Poultrygeist to one of their friends.
New treasures like the Philosopher's Scone (no, not a typo, it's a parody after all) and new "monsters" like the Brothers Grimm (aren't they folk tale writers?).

Star Munchkin was again created by Steve Jackson and illustrated by John Kovalic. The box features 168 cards, the rules and a die.
Mutants, Androids, and Cat People join the forces armed with Lasers, Vibroswords, and Nova Grenades. Munchkins meet new enemies like Fanged Fuzzballs and Bionic Bimbos.

Star Munchkin 2 - The Clown Wars
Once more, Steve Jackson and John Kovalic create 112 more cards to form this Star Munchkin expansion.
The Clown Wars tell the tale of the future. The Munchkins will arm themselves to fight monsters like the Nerds of Prey. But they will not go in unarmed, the Sprayser or the X-Rayser will help their cause.
Noone is safe when they use the new "room" cards. Open the door and be in for a big suprise. Play the bugs (race) or a space ranger (class).
This expansion was designed for Star Munchkin, but it will play with Munchkin, Munchkin Fu or Munchkin Bites too.
