Good deal on Smash Up base game plus 4 expansion packs: both World Tour expansions, Goblins, and Knights. Regular priced at $100. Must use the link to add the bundle rather than adding separately from the site.

It presents itself as a simple to play game, but the rules are fiddly and the cards have walls of text. It doesn't work as a high level strategy game either because the deck combinations are unbalanced. So it doesn't really fit anywhere. This is probably why its rated a 6.7/10 on Board Game Geek, which for those in the know, anything below a 7 is a total piece of dog shit.
Save your money, and buy something else, or if you really want to get it, buy just the base game, and go from there. Buying a game with expansions that you haven't played is a rookie move!

As you get more expansions the rules definitely tend to become more "interpreted" as to when certain things are allowed to happen. But the rule book is sometimes helpful and online searches help.
I try to play this every time my group gets together because it's somewhat fast and enjoyable with how creative to get along with strategy.
Tons of 5* on amz. Based on Amz prices seems like a good deal for those looking, it's on my wishlist but I can't buy one more game until I work through backlog
EDIT: my mistake, must at least start checkout to see the discount.
Great game overall though, one of my standard go tos. Really need to get some of the newer expansions, and actually get a group together to play more often.

We still love playing it! I like that it's a card game so no need to setup a board, but you do need table space. We have since acquired expansions ($20 each at the local comic book store), but we found the original 8 decks/factions to be the most fun!
As others have mentioned, there's tons of re-playability as you'll find yourself wanting to try different "smash-ups" the next time you play.

No, this is a card drafting / deck building game where you try to take "bases" and win points for doing so.
