Mash two fantasy factions together and smash more Bases than your friends.
Smash Up: Munchkin takes the shufflebuilding game and runs it through the Munchkin world of silly fantasy. You shuffle two twenty-card factions into one forty-card deck and then try to smash more Bases than your opponents. The eight factions here are Clerics, Halflings, Orcs, Warriors, Elves, Thieves, Dwarves and Mages, and each brings its own tricks, so every pairing plays differently. Whoever has the most power on a Base when it breaks scores points, but second and third place score too. Two to four players, about 45 minutes, from age 12, published in 2015.
Who it's for
You like Munchkin humor or Smash Up and enjoy combining weird factions into surprising decks.
Not for you if…
You want a long-term strategic game or you dislike take-that cards that mess with your plans.
Vibe's take
Quick, bouncy and a bit mean. Every faction pair plays differently, and the fun is figuring out how your two odd halves fit together while you steal Bases out from under people.
