• In role-playing games, a "munchkin" is a player who plays a normally cooperative game exclusively for the purposes of "winning", usually at the cost of the other players' enjoyment of the game. The term is also frequently used in reference to powergamers and to immature players in general. A more neutral use of the term is in reference to young players, who, not knowing yet how to roleplay, typically obsess about the statistical "power" of their characters rather than developing their characters' fictional "personalities." Many players go through this phase. Compare twink.
