Smash Up is a new style of "Shufflebuilding" game. Players take two 20-card faction decks, shuffle them together, and start competing to smash bases! However, each faction has a different mechanical focus, and each combination brings unique play to the game. When the game begins, players take turns drafting one of several faction decks. Once each player has two decks, they shuffle them together, combining their distinct abilities into a unique 40-card deck. Players then deal out a number of Base cards, and play their decks to attempt to have the most power on a base when it is scored.
It may sound simple, but how simple is it when your opponent's Zombie-Ninja Assassinate your minions then create an Outbreak, loading the Base with minions from their discard pile? Or when their Pirate-Dinosaurs Full Sail onto the base with the mighty King Rex, whose massive power dwarfs that of other minions?
Each combination gives a different experience, Pirate-Aliens play very different than Pirate-Zombies, and with 8 factions in the base set there are tons of combinations to try out!

Addictive little game.
Great game with a gimmick that has been executed fantastically. Pick any two factions of cards and combine them into a complete deck; the result is a unique-feeling deck that'll play differently from any other combination of factions. Wizards/Dinosaurs plays completely different from Wizards/Zombies, and this will create an addictive cycle of wanting to play the game over and over just to see how different faction combos play together. Best yet, picking up expansions will rapidly increase the total number of unique combinations well into the thousands. Overall, Smash Up is a really good middle-ground if you like the idea of deckbuilding card games but you or a friend struggle at the deckbuilding part.

Great faction combinations
A very great game, a lot of different combinations of factions (8 included, 2 per player) and the greatest part is there are plenty of expansions.

Great game with ton os options to give this game longevity on your table
A great card game with a plethora of replay ability. There are a bunch of decks right out of the box and have quite a few expansions to expand your gameplay. I would consider this at or just above a gateway game into the hobby, a nice step up from big box store games without getting too heavy. I personally love this one and it sees our table pretty regularly.
