chgreenblatt:Smash Up is a ridiculous game for 2-4 players where each player takes 2 decks of cards, each themed to a faction like zombies, ninjas, Pokemon, dragons, vampires, princesses, etc. and combines them into one powerful deck. They then fight over a number of bases and whoever scores 15 points first wins.On your turn, you may play one minion card and one action card from your hand. Minions are played onto bases and have a power value (the number in the top left). They also often have special abilities tied to their faction. Action cards let you do cool stuff as well such as messing with other players, drawing or playing more cards, buffing up minions, moving minions, and so on. When the combined strength of all players’ minions on a base equals or exceeds its value, the base BUSTS! The player with the most strength gets the first reward in points, second gets the second reward, third… you get it.A lot of the fun of this game is trying out new combinations of factions: Bear Army + Rock Stars, Killer Plants + Giant Ants, Sharks + Tornadoes. There have been a ton of expansions, and each expansion is completely playable on its own with 4-8 new factions inside. So if there are factions you’re interested in, just get those expansions and have fun! Or be crazy like me and get them all!! Chances are there’s a faction paring in here that would interest you as well. Check it out! -- source link
