Smash Up, published by Alderac Entertainment Group in 2012, has seen quite a
success for a card game that, by just reading its description, shouldn’t work.
It sounds totally bonkers.
Mix two decks of totally themes that you wouldn’t think of mixing, like
Zombies and Fairies, give each Zombie and each Fairy an ability to do something
and then send them forth to conquer bases that will give you points to win the
game.
It does sound very silly and the rules make it look like a very easy to play
game. Also there are a fair number of expansions to make the game last even
longer.
But how does it play for the first time?
We’re about to find out!
Hope you enjoy the show!
