Smash up early days
Ghosts, killer plants, steampunk and….. bear cavalry?!?? Another fun expansion that adds more factions to the great base busting card game that is Smash Up.

A good early expansion
This was the first Smash Up expansion and to a degree it shows. It’s a lot of fun, but it’s a bit less balanced and exciting than some of the sets introduced later.

Love the game. Need more to fit in my bigger geekier box.

Practically a mandatory expansion.
Awesome Level 9000 was the very first expansion made for Smash Up, and remains the one I would recommend getting first for any new fan of the game. The four factions fit right into the roster of decks pretty seamlessly, the only new gimmick (+1 Power Tokens) adding minimal complications to the rules and going on to be used in every expansion afterwards.

Sheer Power one 2 cards at a time.
This is an insanely powerful expansion to AEG's Smash Up game. Each deck with it's own unique presence and game play. Each of these decks are so good you almost have to anticipate you'll see at least 2 of them in a 4 player game. Steampunks will bunker a base so hard it becomes near worthless to try and compete against it unless you have a deck that directly deals with it. Killer plants bring high power with enough extra minions to near break a base on their own in just a couple turns, With a proper pairing Ghost can be down right scary with increasing power and new card effects as your hand limit decreases, and the Bear Cavalry is mobile and indescribably destructive. I love this expansion for the almost imbalance and chaos it'll bring to a game. While being completely fair and manageable. a perfect contrast to many of the decks already introduced. 10/10 another must own expansion.

Essential Smash Up!
If any of the Smash Up! expansions are absolutely essential, it's this one. It includes updated versions of all of the base cards from the main game with text that is easier to read. It also comes with score counters that are very useful. The four new factions are interesting and diverse. Steampunks and Bear Cavalry are two favorites in my gaming group but the Ghosts and Plants hit the table quite frequently as well. Don't think about this one too much, just buy it along with the main game or add it to you collection if you somehow missed it.

"Steampunk" and ghosts?! How can you go wrong???
We can't get enough of this expansion! The steampunk like faction is one of my wife's favorites as well as the ghosts because she likes to draw cards LOL. The ghosts are great for changing it up with their "killing" and drawing features.
