There's no retail computer game that quite captures the gameplay feel of Munchkin, the little card game by Steve Jackson and John Kovalic. There is, however, a freeware game (just released, in fact!) that does. Loot reminds us very much of our time spent backstabbing our friends at the table, playing a Plutonium Dragon or cursing them down a level right as they are about to win.

Loot is all about exploring a dungeon and returning to the entrance before you die. When you enter a room, you may find some loot, a ladder, a trap, or any combination of the three. Loot gives you a card, a trap reduces your hit points by 1, and a ladder enables you to move down a level. It has the same exploration of rooms vibe that Munchkin does, but without the backstabbing or monsters. It's great fun and a great casual dungeon crawl.
