The "shufflebuilding" game Smash Up starts with a simple premise: Take the twenty-card decks of two factions, shuffle them into a forty-card deck, then compete to smash more Bases than your opponents! Each faction brings a different game mechanism into play - pirates move cards, zombies bring cards back from the discard pile, dinosaurs have huge power - and every combination of factions brings a different play experience. You attempt to have the most power on the Base from your minions when the Base is smashed. Sounds easy? How easy is it when an opponent`s Alien-Ninja decides to Beam Up your minions to other Bases or when the Pirate-Dinosaur player Full Sails in and releases King Rex to stomp your minions into the ground?
