Which article are you evaluating?
Munchkin (card game)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

During my Bachelor's degree in Game Design, I have been studying all mediums from video games to live-action role-plays, so this is the topic of my competence and interest. I think that every significant game title makes a game's history in general, and therefore deserves at least a good Wiki article. Munchkin (card game) has been rated as C-Class and High-importance, and looking at the article initially I thought it looked more like a catalog than an encyclopedia page due to the lack of concise text.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Here are my suggestions for the article:


 * This article is mostly based on the game rules, that do not entirely represent how the game is played. One of the significant's aspects of Munchkin is the fantasy role-playing similar to DnD one, that can be seen in tournaments and casual plays recordings.
 * This article does not cover the history of Munchkin's development that interestingly started as an opposition to RPG clichés and the popularity of DnD.
 * Munchkin is also a world with its own lore and other universe's references that can be mentioned in a sentence or two. The majority of the story unfolds in the official comics, that can be added to a "related to the game" section.
 * Featured articles with game titles often have a section called “card types” that can be added: Munchkin has both basic and supplemental ones.
 * Reception section of the article is overall negative and does not represent the diversity of opinions. It could reference more sources and reviews, especially professional ones.
 * The game Munchkin is referenced in quite a few popular culture pieces, that can be mentioned as well.
 * The amount of pictures in the article does not let one see a “complete picture”, and therefore can be increased.
 * Almost all sources of the article link to the official websites, which does not meet Wikipedia standards: this article needs more independent sources and mentions rather than Munchkin designer's explanations.
