What is Smash Up?
Smash Up is a card game by Paul Peterson (AEG, 2012) for 2–4 players. Each player combines two faction decks — Pirates, Aliens, Ninjas, Zombies, and many more — into one and uses them to conquer bases on the table. The faction with the most power at a base claims victory points; the player with the most points wins.
