Overview

In Smash Up, players choose two factions from a variety of unique groups, like Robots, Wizards, Pirates, and Dinosaurs, and combine their decks into one powerful force.

The goal is to smash bases by deploying minions and playing actions to gain control. Each base is worth a certain number of victory points, and the player with the most power on a base when it's scored earns the most points. Through careful hand management and strategic minion placement, players vie to outmaneuver their opponents and become the ultimate base-smashing champion.
