Smash Up (Tabletop Game)	comment	When you were a kid, did you ever get into an argument with a friend of yours over whether robots or zombies would win in a fight? Dinosaurs or aliens? Superheroes or werewolves?Imagine somebody made a game based off of that. Now stop imagining it, because somebody did, and this is that game.Smash-Up is a 2012 Card Game by Alderac Entertainment group, which can be played from 2-4 players. Players each take two different factions with 20 cards each and Smash-Up those factions together. Then they try to put as many powerful minions as possible on one of three to five "base" cards while also using actions and abilities to help themselves and hinder their opponents. When the total power on a base reaches above a certain amount, it breaks, and the players gain Victory Points according to whoever had the most power on it. The first player to earn 15 Victory Points wins the game.The main draw of the game is being able to combine factions, giving many different playstyles. Each Faction has unique traits and abilities that make them really effective in world domination- Ninja-Pirates will be able to move freely and strike unexpectedly, while Zombie-Robots manufacture massive armies that easily come back from the dead.The original 8 factions are Aliens, Dinosaurs, Ninjas, Pirates, Robots, Tricksters, Wizards and Zombies. A plethora of expansion packs have come out, with typically four factions eachnote the Big Geeky Box has one, Munchkin, Smash Up: Marvel and Smash Up: Disney Edition have eight, It's Your Fault and World Tour: Culture Shock have five:

Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_15da4941	comment	Badass Adorable: The factions in Pretty Pretty Smash Up are all "cute" things like Fairies and Kitty Cats, but they can throw down with the best of them. The Teddy Bears from What Were We Thinking are supremely cuddly, as befits a whole faction of plush toys, who are also the absolute kings of the Stone Wall strategy.

Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_185ea595	comment	The Trickster: Surprisingly, not the Trickster faction, which is more about restraining players than tricking them. The Ninjas fit this trope though, being based around surprising moves and come-from-behind victories. The Super Spies also qualify, as their theme is facilitating plans on the part of their player and disrupting the plans of other players.

Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_1ebbdddb	comment	Power at a Price: Madness Cards. You can either return them to the Madness deck (which costs an action), or use them to draw extra cards (something just about every faction benefits from). The catch: every two Madness cards you have at the end of the game deducts one Victory Point from you! This is the hat of the Minions of Cthulhu. They have powerful and varied abilities, but often force the player to draw madness cards, or destroy their own minions. The Elder Thing is the minion with the strongest base power in the game at a whopping 10, and it can't be affected by opponents' cards. The catch is that you have to sacrifice two minions to play it or else return it to the bottom of your deck.

Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_3441859b	comment	Rank Scales with Asskicking: Typically, the strongest minion in a given faction will be unique, and something in their name will identify them as the 'leader' of their faction (including King Rex, General Ivan, Zombie Lord, Microbot Alpha, etc.). The Elder Thing is a slight variant: instead of having a title to identify it as the leader, the faction is named after it. There's also the Princesses, who have only one copy of each minion, but they're all 5 power, the same power as virtually every other leader. Subverted (or not) by the Vigilantes, who are all 4 power, so they aren't really on the same level as power-5 "king" minions, but they can kick ass real hard.

Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_37fcf16	type	Death Is Cheap
Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_37fcf16	comment	Death Is Cheap: The Zombie faction. They have abilities that allow them to draw and even play from their discard pile, where minions go if they are killed. They even have minions that can be played from the discard pile itself! The Magical Girls are able to resuscitate discarded minions, even other players' minions. Most notably, Black Magicat can retrieve Lunar Captain from the discard pile, and Lunar Captain can easily retrieve Black Magicat from the discard pile as well. Lunar Captain specializes in retrieving minions from the discard pile in general; with a second minion on her base, she can easily recur power 2s, making her quite powerful with minions that can destroy themselves to fetch other minions such as Sprouts (Killer Plants) or especially Mild-Mannered Citizens (Superheroes).note They can destroy themselves at the start of your turn to search for a minion of power 5 or greater, a category which Lunar Captain so conveniently falls into. Using one to fetch her then using her to recur it, it becomes easy to play the rest of the power 5s right out of your deck. The Russian Fairy Tales have The Water of Life, which it says, can revive any discard minion and have The Birch Woman, which turns into a Birch on death, which can then destroy itself to turn back into The Birch Woman. The Skeletons have Revenants, which let you bury them from your discard pile for free (though only one per turn, of course). Many of their actions allow you to bury minions from your discard pile as well, most notably Place 'Em Down.

Ninjas do last-minute plays right when a base breaks, which can mean either gaining some points on a base where they previously had no minions, or even allowing them to take the lead on that base. Spies, another espionage-based faction, has a few cards that allow special shenanigans as a base breaks to steal the victory. Mega Troopers also specialize in doing this, not just by suddenly bringing in more minions, but by gaining power upon a base breaking and even having an action that lets them destroy hostile minions before it scores, provided they're not winning.

Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_3f0310d6	type	Magikarp Power
Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_3f0310d6	comment	Magikarp Power: The Microbot Alpha. It initially has 1 power, even weaker than the weakest minions of other factions. However, when it's in play, it makes all the player's units considered Microbots (even those that aren't robots) and then gets 1 power for each Microbot in play. Considering that the Robot faction uses Zerg Rush tactics, this makes it even more powerful than their "King" unit, the Nukebot. The Killer Plants faction is based on this, with minions/actions that do powerful things at the start of their controller's turn (ie: before they've played anything, including those minions/actions), but often doing nothing special on the turn they are played. One minion's ability is that it loses power on the turn it is played. The Superheroes have Mild Mannered Citizens who can turn into big powerful superheroes with incredible abilities. Certain talents are like this as well; talents are normally once-per-turn abilities, but if a talent is used a few turns in a row the effects can add up quickly. The Mad Scientists have Über-Serums, which make a minion indestructible and slowly gain power on each of their turns.

Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_41dd77d	comment	Zerg Rush: The Robot faction's strategy. They're the only faction to have 18 minion and 2 action cards note (Most other factions have 10 of each), and many of their minions' abilities let their controller play extra minions, but they're also the only faction with minions of 1 power. Innsmouth plays with this trope; they focus on drawing lots of weak minions rather than playing them. The Zombie faction's ability to play cards from the discard pile also lends itself to this. Mythic Horses are also good at playing a ton of minions on one turn. Halflings can drop a lot of weak minions too. Rock Stars garner Groupies and drop them all at once.

Combined with a Ship's Engineer, you can make your minion move to another base instead. The Ancient Egyptians' Mummy is a special case since it is buried elsewhere after their base scores and you have to unbury it to reactivate it. The Polynesian Voyagers' Sun Tattoo can be used to move somewhere else after a base scores, but only when played at that moment.

It is THE strongest minion in the game, but you have to kill two of your own minions to play it, which typically creates an "exchange two weak things for one strong thing" situation. The Bear Cavalry's Polar Commando has +2 power and cannot be destroyed if it is the only one of your minions on a base.

Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_9b9397bb	comment	Difficult, but Awesome: Ghosts. They become stronger by having fewer cards in-hand, running counter to conventional strategy, and being hard to deal with because of it, but they really do gain lots of power through this mechanic. Time Travelers are also this. They have very little base-breaking or minion-altering abilities, instead utilizing their deck and discard pile in unconventional ways, such as placing cards from their discard pile on the bottom of their deck. If played well, however, they are a useful support faction with huge late-game potential. Ignobles are tricky to play well with. You can give control of your minions to your opponents to draw cards or play extra cards among other things, but by doing so you give more power to your opponents and can help them break bases in a better position than you. Fortunately, there are some cards that allow you regain control of the minions you donated or just get rid of them. Anansi Tales have you give your own cards to other players. Which cards are worth giving can be a difficult decision, not to mention that you may want to give them useful cards.

The Robot faction has multiple 1-power minions, but which can buff each other up or summon even more minions. Sometimes both. Innsmouth has literally no minions with anything other than 2 power (which is usually the lowest power in a given deck), but their ability makes it easy to play lots and lots of them, and they have many actions that empower weak minions.

Super Spies have a Special action that can take control of a minion at the last second. This is the Kitty Cats' MO. They can temporarily take control of other players' minions, and in many cases destroy them to gain bonuses for themselves. Elves have their three-copy minions able to exchange control with another player's minion. Partially inverted by the Ignobles as you willingly give control of your minions to other players, and if you have the right cards, you can take back control of minions you gave.

The Kaiju faction is the only faction with Action cards that put power on bases. Rather than rely on minions to break bases, they rely on their titan's Actions to bust them. The Geek faction's Banned List cards are the only ones that require the player to call out a specific card name, and therefore the only card that requires foreknowledge of the game. This shouldn't be a problem for any geeky player. The Ignobles, Elves and Anansi Tales all have mechanics about helping others to help yourself. Ignobles have you give your minions to other players, Elves provide card draws and power boost to other players and Anansi Tales put your cards into other players' hands.

A whole world of possibilities open up when players realize that they can do these things to their own minions (including killing their own minions to activate on-death effects, and placing their minions back into their hands so they can replay them). A potentially game-breaking example is in the Aliens faction, which contain many cards that force a minion to be returned to its owners hand, as well as an Invader minion that grants 1 VP upon playing. There's nothing that says the returned minion has to be someone else's, so if the Invader can be drawn early in the game, one can easily use it to farm VPs without ever breaking a base.

Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_d8c31894	comment	Mobile Menace: The Pirate faction has abilities and actions based around quick movement from bases. The Steampunk faction can also do this, albeit to a lesser extent than Pirates. The Bear Cavalry inverts this; it forces other player's minions to move around with the intent of weakening them. The Princesses can move a lot of minions; both their own and other players'. The Tornadoes do this better than any other faction, specializing wholly in blowing into bases and throwing other factions around the table. The Sharks have several cards that can move their minions to other bases and destroy a weaker minion on arrival. The Changerbots can transform into vehicles and roll out. Some Star Roamer cards can change a "return a minion" effect into a "move a minion" effect, and they have a LOT of "return a minion" effects. The Mega Troopers are built around moving or playing minions (and their Titan) onto bases right as they break and gaining sudden, massive surges of power from these maneuvers. The Burst from the Superhero faction can move to any base after a minion has been played there, making him one of the most mobile minions in the game. The Sheep move in herds, allowing other minions to follow a minion that has moved to another base. The Polynesian Voyagers have a lot of movement, though usually limited to bases where they don't already have minions, but they can build up a ton of power doing so.

The Kung Fu Fighters' Lady Whirlwind has a talent that does the same, though it can only be used if Lady Whirlwind doesn't presently have a +1 power counter on her. Of course, a major focus of the faction is transferring +1 power counters, making it easy to remove the counter on Lady Whirlwind and thus reset her talent. The Explorers' Crypt Looter can be played as an extra minion as soon as a new base is played. Some expansions have factions entirely (or mostly) made of female characters, namely the Princesses, the Grannies and the Magical Girls. Gracie Brones in Action Heroes gains a +1 power counter at the start of your turn if she's your only minion there, then gains +1 power until the end of the turn for each of those counters on her. With the right partner faction, this can build up fast.

Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_e5066b68	comment	11th-Hour Superpower: The entire gimmick of the Mega Troopers, most of whom have abilities and actions that trigger during the climax of a battle (right before a base scores), making them very good at pulling the rug out from under your foes.

Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_e70127	type	The Mole
Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_e70127	comment	The Mole: The Super Spies have a minion named after this. They also have ability that lets them control an opponent's minion, retroactively meaning that that minion was a mole. The Ignobles can also pull this if they aren't capable of recovering cards they've given to other players. Their Betrothed minion is perhaps the most straightforward of the bunch, awarding their owner bonus VP for letting another player win the base. Anansi Tales have Collecting Stories that allow you to reclaim and play a card you own that might be in another player's hand, while giving you peek at their other cards.

Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_e9e35e8f	comment	Exact Words: Just like most card games, you have to apply the effects exactly as they are worded. This opens itself to an Outside-the-Box Tactic when you realize that the use or absence of certain words can be exploited, such as the abilities of certain minions not mentioning their own base means they can be applied anywhere!

Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_f25b1ae6	type	Unskilled, but Strong
Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_f25b1ae6	comment	Unskilled, but Strong: The Dinosaur faction is based around having large-powered minions while sacrificing most opportunities to do anything tricky. They have the strongest single minion in the original set (King Rex), which is also the only minion without any special rules at all. Only one minion is stronger, (the Elder Thing) and that has a major drawback.

Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_f2d244f2	comment	Extrinsic Go-First Rule: Each set has its own rule to determine who goes first. The Bigger Geekier Box consolidated rulebook gives a Long List of highly unlikely circumstances to be applied in priority order (the player most recently abducted by an alien, or shanghaied by a pirate, or bitten by a vampire, or...); if nobody meets any of the conditions, you'll just have to figure out for yourselves who should go first.

Smash Up (Tabletop Game) / int_faece9aa	comment	The Power of Friendship: The Mythic Horses' hat, in perhaps a Shout-Out to My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Many of their actions and minions gain benefits for having one or more minions on the same base. The Magical Girls faction runs along similar lines, restoring and powering up friendly minions, as well as having abilities and actions that get more and more powerful the more friendly minions are on a base. The Mounties like being on the same base as other players' minions. Though the other players may not exactly see you as a friend.
