Special Cards, Counters and Other Rules

2025-09-02T04:21:12Z

Cfriedman: Added rules for stasis and stored cards and fixed "[add link]" text

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Special Cards, Counters, and Other Rules}}

===== +1 Power Counters =====
''First used in Monster Smash''

These pump up your minions with extra power. They are not a separate item; your VP tokens do double duty as +1 power counters (if it’s in your VP pile it’s a VP token, but if it’s on a card it’s a power counter). +1 power counters can be placed on cards, transferred between cards, and removed from cards when a card’s ability says to do so. When a card leaves play, remove all +1 power counters on it.

'''Note:''' In early sets, these were called +1 power tokens.

Each +1 power counter on a minion increases the minion’s power by one for as long as it is on that minion. For example, a 2-power minion with three +1 power counters on it is treated as a 5-power minion. If a power counter is transferred, the counter no longer affects the card it used to be on, and starts affecting the new one.

A power counter affects the minion it is on, so abilities that protect minions from effects protect against placing power counters on them, as well as transferring or removing them.

See below for how power counters work with Titans. Power counters on actions, bases, or buried cards have no effect unless a card says otherwise.

===== The Madness Deck =====
''Used in The Obligatory Cthulu Set''

This is a set of 30 identical action cards. Keep the Madness deck face up (since all cards are identical) and separate from all other decks. Players cannot draw a card from the Madness deck, or return a Madness card to it, unless a card’s ability specifically allows it. If the Madness deck is out of cards, ignore any instructions to draw a Madness card until one or more Madness cards return to the deck.

The current controller of each Madness card is treated as its owner as well. When a Madness card leaves play, it goes to its controller’s discard pile rather than to the Madness deck. When a Madness card returns to the Madness deck, the player ceases to control it.

====== Madness and the Final Score ======
Madness cards give you extra card draws during the game, but at the end of the game they cause you to lose VPs!

When the game ends, and one player is in the lead with 15 VP or more, players count the total number of Madness cards in their hands, decks, and and discard piles, or that are buried. Each player then loses 1 victory point for every 2 Madness cards that they have. The player with the highest modified VP total then wins. In case of ties, the player with the fewest Madness cards wins. Further ties share the win!

For example, John has 15 VPs and 5 Madness cards; he gets -2 VPs for a final total of 13 VPs. Mary has 14 VPs and 3 Madness cards, giving her a -1 VP penalty. Her modified total is 13 VPs, but she has fewer Madness cards, so she wins the tie. Finally, Chris has 13 VPs and no Madness cards. Chris, with the fewest Madness cards, wins the game, and John comes in last place!

===== Monsters and Treasures =====
''Used in Smash Up: Munchkin''

Monsters and treasures are special types of minion and action cards. They each have their own deck and discard pile, set to the side for any player to use when necessary. Players cannot draw from these decks unless allowed in these rules or by a card’s ability.

Monsters are treated as normal minions, and treasures are treated as normal actions or minions, in all ways except as defined below.

Monsters and treasures have no owner or faction, therefore cards that refer to a minion’s owner do not apply to monsters. When a monster or treasure card leaves play, it always goes to the corresponding discard pile, regardless of card text to the contrary.

Monsters are not played from players’ hands but directly from the top of the monster deck. They can only be played when a game effect specifically says to play a monster. Playing a monster does not count against a player’s limit of one minion per turn, nor does it count as an extra minion. Playing a monster does not give a player control of it; however, other cards may allow a player to take control of a monster in play.

Treasures are special awards gained either by defeating monsters, or by special card effects. Although they have no owner or faction, they do have a controller as normal.

====== Monsters and Bases ======
Bases in Smash Up: Munchkin have a monster number (see [[Know Your Cards! (card anatomy)|Know Your Cards]]). Whenever such a base enters play, draw that many monsters from the monster deck and play them on the base. To save table space, you may overlap the monster cards so only their power and abilities show. Monsters played on new bases are not considered played by any player. Monsters’ abilities trigger when they are played just as with normal minions.

Monsters do not count against the breakpoint of the base they are on. Instead, they ADD to the breakpoint of the base, making it harder to score. However, if someone takes control of a monster, it stops adding to the base’s breakpoint and acts as a normal minion of that player.

====== Getting Loot from a Monster ======
Monsters have a treasure number. If a monster is destroyed by a card effect, the player who controls the effect that destroyed it draws that many treasure cards and places them in his or her hand. Big phat lewt!

====== Getting Loot from a Base that Scored ======
After awarding VPs for a base, add the treasure numbers of all the monsters that are still on the base and reveal that many cards from the treasure deck. Players take turns choosing one of the revealed cards and adding it to their hand. To be eligible to claim a treasure, a player must either control a minion at that base or have at least 1 power there by virtue of some other effect. All qualifying players are included in treasure selection, not just the top three.

When choosing treasures, start with the base’s winner and proceed by the decreasing amount of power present on the base. Priority for breaking ties starts with the current player and going clockwise. Continue selecting (restarting with the winner if there are more treasures than players) until all treasures have been claimed.

'''Example:''' A base scores. The monsters still on the base have a total treasure value of 5. Alan has a bunch of minions on the base, and Beth has one minion with a power of zero. The players reveal a total of 5 cards from the treasure deck. Alan, who had the highest total power, chooses one of the cards. Beth chooses second, then Alan chooses another, etc. In the end, Alan gets the first, third, and fifth choices, and Beth gets second and fourth. Chris had neither minions nor power on the base, and thus does not get any treasure.

===== Titans =====
''Used in Big in Japan and the Titan Event Kit''

Titans are a card type entirely different from minions, actions, or bases. Representing large, uncontrollable forces, titans are neither good nor evil; they are pure awesome. Titans start the game on the table near their owner; they never go in the hand, deck or discard pile.

Titans may be played on a base when a card, including the titan card itself, says you can play them. Playing a titan is optional. “Instead of your regular minion [or action] play” means instead of the normal minion or action play allowed during your Play Cards phase. Titans are not played as, and do not count as, extra cards.

If you play a titan, you control it even if you do not own it. You cannot play a titan if you already control a titan in play.

Titans are not affected by abilities that specifically target minions or actions. Abilities that target “cards” can affect titans and even force them out of play (destroyed, returned, placed, etc.). Titans also leave play if the base card they are on leaves play. When a titan leaves play for whatever reason, set it aside near its owner, discarding any counters on it. It can be played again anytime a card allows it.

Titans do not have power, but they can give power to their controller’s total at their base through their abilities. In addition, titans that have +1 power counters on them also provide that power to their controller.

====== Clash of the Titans ======
After you play or move a titan to a base that already has a titan, one of them must be removed from play. The two controllers compare their total power at that base, after resolving any applicable ongoing abilities. The player with the lesser total removes their titan; in case of ties, the titan that was on the base first wins.

===== Non-Minions That Grant Power =====
''First used in Big In Japan''

Some actions have inherent power, and some bases grant power. This power counts both toward breaking the base and toward earning VP rewards, even if the player has no minions present there.

===== Burying =====
''Used in Oops, You Did It Again''

'''How to bury:''' To bury a card you place it face down beside a base, facing you. You don’t show it to others unless the card says to bury itself. You may only bury a card if an ability allows it.
[[File:05a Burying.png|thumb|394x394px]]
'''Status:''' A buried card is not affected by abilities that target minions, actions, or any other card type. They are affected by abilities that target “cards”. A buried card is controlled by the player who buried it, and its controller is considered its owner until it is uncovered or discarded. Players may look at buried cards they control at any time; but they may only look at them one at a time and may not mix them up. A buried card’s abilities may not be triggered until after it is uncovered.

'''Uncovering:''' Each player may uncover one of their buried cards at the start of their turn. A player may also uncover a card when an ability allows it. When a buried card is uncovered, its controller immediately plays it as an extra card. It is played either on the same base, or on a minion on that base, or simply resolved and discarded, as appropriate. It is resolved just as if it were played from the hand. If circumstances make playing it impossible (e.g. it’s a card that is only played before a base scores), it is discarded instead. When a card is uncovered or re-buried (as Mummies do), any counters or cards on it are discarded first. Uncovered cards may not be immediately reburied.

'''Scoring:''' Buried cards do not themselves have power, nor the presence to help break or win a base. After a base scores or leaves play for any reason, buried cards still on it go to their owners’ discard piles. Madness cards that are buried at the end of the game still count against their controller.

===== Duels =====
''Used in Oops, You Did It Again''
[[File:05b Duels.png|thumb|502x502px]]
'''Basics:''' When two minions duel, their controllers may each place a card from their hand on the table face down, and then each reveals their card (if any), starting with the challenger. If it is an action it is played normally, otherwise it is returned to the hand. After the dueling cards are resolved, the minion with the higher power is determined to be the winner; in case of ties, both sides get all the effects of the duel. The benefits of winning, or the harm of losing, are specified by the card that starts the duel.

'''Details:''' Placing a dueling card on the table is optional, and the decision to place one is first made by the challenger.

You may place any card from your hand for a duel, including actions that affect minions outside the duel, or even minions that are just returned to the hand (they make a good bluff).

While on the table, dueling cards are not considered part of the hand, deck or discard pile, are not considered in play, and cannot be targeted by any ability.

Two duels may not happen at the same time, so if any ability that allows a duel is triggered during another duel, that part of the ability is ignored.

After a duel’s actions are resolved, if the two minions of the duel are not together on the same base as each other, the duel stops without resolution. However, changing control of either or both minions does not stop the duel.

During a duel no other cards may be played or invoked, unless they are allowed by the duel’s actions (or by the cards allowed by the actions, etc.) or they are triggered by the duel or the cards involved in it.

Being in a duel does not by itself count as affecting a minion, but the duel’s consequences may affect it.

===== Stasis =====
''Used in Excellent Movies, Dude''

'''Stasis counters''' track the amount of time a card spends in stasis, after which the card is played, and/or other effects may happen. If you run out of stasis counters, use any other items you wish as additional counters. Stasis counters do not count as any other token used in the game, and none of those count as stasis counters.

'''Being in stasis''': You only place stasis counters on a card when an ability says you can; doing so places the card in stasis. Cards in stasis are placed face up in front of their owner. They are considered in play, but:

1) they are not on any base or part of any hand, deck, or discard pile;

2) their abilities do not work unless they refer to stasis; and

3) they may not be affected by, or chosen as the target of, any ability that does not refer to stasis;

4) they may not be played or leave stasis except as described below.

Their presence on the table may influence some abilities (e.g. Microbot Alpha, Red Riding Hood), and their power and abilities can be copied by other cards. Madness cards in stasis at the end of the game still count against your final score.
[[File:Stasis and Storage Example.png|thumb]]
'''Leaving stasis''': At the start of your turn, you must remove one stasis counter from each of your cards in stasis. You may also remove (or add) stasis counters when an ability says you can. If a card in stasis has no stasis counters on it, during your Play Cards phase you may play it as an extra card, at which point it leaves stasis. When you play the card, follow any instructions it has for leaving stasis, and then discard the card unless it tells you otherwise (as Sidelined Girlfriend does). If it has no instructions for leaving stasis, just play it normally as an extra card. Cards leaving stasis may not immediately re-enter stasis. At the end of each turn, discard all your cards in stasis that have no stasis counters on them; they both leave stasis and leave play.

===== Stored Cards =====
Some abilities let you store cards by placing them face down under other cards. If the ability has limits on the card being placed – e.g. “a minion of power 3 or less” or “an action“ – you must reveal it before storing it so others can see it meets the requirements. You may look at your stored cards at any time, but you must return them to the same place. Other players may count your stored cards, but may not examine them. Stored cards are considered in play, but their abilities are not active, and they cannot be affected by abilities that do not mention stored cards. Stored cards may only be played when an ability allows it. When a card moves, cards under it move with it. When a card leaves play, any cards stored under it are discarded unless an ability says otherwise. Madness cards in storage at the end of the game still count against your final score.

[[File:SU1020 CoverPhoto TimeTravelers.png|none|frame|Illustrated by: Igor Heras]]

====== ''[https://connect.forgefire.games/products/smash-up-time-travelers Purchase the Time Travelers Faction on Forgefire!]'' ======
The time stream has been compromised. Robots from the future mingle with pirates, extinct dinosaurs move with magical wizards... everything is all smashed up! That’s where the Time Patrol steps in. Organized in 1976 and led by the enigmatic Doctor When, the Time Patrol works to keep time flowing... in the manner they deem best.

Time Travelers are from the '''Science Fiction Double Feature set''' and have a Titan card - '''Time Box'''.

====== Complexity Level: MEDIUM ======

====== Mechanics ======

* '''...Replaying And Recycling Cards,'''
* '''Which Creates A Loop Of...'''

To put it simply, Time Travelers slow down and speed up time, and make things happen over and over again in loops. They replay minions, actions, and even bases, force their opponents to replay cards, delay bases from breaking, and their Jumpers escape the discard pile. Time Travelers tend to accelerate as your deck empties out, due to Time Walk and how it gets easier to stack your deck, although they are bad at getting it empty. Many of their mechanics were seen in earlier factions (Aliens, Ninjas, Zombies, Minions of Cthulhu), but Time Travelers bring all the loopy stuff together in one big wibbly wobbly timey wimey ball, plus some new stuff.

====== Strategy ======
Time Travelers are a somewhat complicated faction. In this case, timing is everything, and knowing when the time is right to do things mostly comes from experience. When should you delay a base from scoring with Stasis Field, or execute a Bait and Switch with Doctor When? Which cards should you choose to replay later in the game? The future is difficult to predict, but some things are more likely to happen than others.

'''Time Walk'''

Undoubtedly one of Time Travelers' best actions, Time Walk lends itself towards getting played more often the smaller your deck becomes. Even though you put it on the bottom of your deck, you can shuffle your deck to put it closer to the top, and pad it up from below with Time Raider.

Every time you empty your deck, you will have Time Walk in your hand. So it follows that if you empty your deck every turn, you can play Time Walk every turn. Time Raider and Repeater Perfect make maintaining this feat simple. Just send 2 minions and 1 action back into your deck every turn, timed so you never draw cards from your empty deck.

You get to pick exactly the cards you want, so your deck is no longer random. The implications are immense; the Time Travelers are basically a ticking time bomb waiting to explode on your enemies. The difficulty lies in getting to that point before the game ends, so you have to rely on your partner faction to help draw cards and/or slow down the game.

====== Synergy ======
Time Walk causes so much distortion in Time Travelers' power balance that factions that help play it tend to fit well. Other good partners play extra minions to help replay Jumpers. Still others have good on-play abilities for Time Travelers to replay.

* '''[[Aliens]]''': Replay those Invaders! Doctor When returns and replays them, Repeater Perfect helps you get back actions like Abduction, Beam Up, Do Over!, and Into the Time Slip, and returning him to hand lets you replay him and re-use his ability in turn, and It's Astounding lets you play the aforementioned actions directly from your discard pile.
* '''[[Wizards]]''': Blaze through and stack your deck to unleash Time Walk. In addition, Wizards' card draws are all the effects of on-play abilities, which Time Travelers are especially adept at replaying.
* '''[[Innsmouth]]''': Play The Locals, replay Mysteries of the Deep, and its Madness cards to sweep out your deck. Jumpers are great substitutes for The Locals, since they always stick around for the next job.
* '''Super Spies''': Draw extra cards with From Q With Love, execute elaborate attacks on your opponents, and stack your deck ever more thoroughly by sending cards to the bottom of your deck to push the rest higher up.
* '''[[Grannies]]''': Want to get that Time Walk back quickly? Just move it from the bottom of your deck to the top!

Special: At the start of your turn or when a card goes to your hand from play or the discard pile, place a counter on this titan if it is not in play. After you place the fifth or higher counter on it, you may remove all of the counters and play this titan. Talent: Play an extra minion here of power 2 or less, and/or play an extra action.

Errata: No

Clarifications:

* The counters here are only for literal counting and are not treated as +1 power counters. Before this card is played no other ability may affect these counters.

====== ''[https://connect.forgefire.games/products/smash-up-musketeers Purchase the Musketeers Faction on Forgefire!]'' ======
One for all, and all for one! Or three! Or really four, because there were four of them, but we’ll ignore that, just like the title of the book! The Musketeers were the super heroes of Renaissance France, taking on corrupt elements with style and panache. Their quick skills with the blade were matched only by their quick wit. After biding their time, they explode into a dazzling series of actions.

Musketeers are from the '''World Tour: International Incident set''' and '''do not''' have a Titan card.

====== Complexity Level: MEDIUM-HIGH ======

====== Mechanics ======

* '''Chaining Extra Actions Together'''
* '''Actions That Directly Affect Minions'''

The Musketeers excel at starting chains of actions, with a particular focus on actions that directly affect your own minions. Also, each time you do play an action that directly affects one of your minions, you can gain various benefits which can be either a power boost, a card draw, or even another action play.

'''Power 2''' - Ongoing: After you play an action that directly affects this minion, draw a card.

Errata: No

Clarifications:

* Because of the Card Resolution Order (see [[The Phases of a Turn]]), after an action is played that affects D’Artagnan (step 1), D’Artagnan has you draw a card (step 3) before the action that affected it is discarded (step 5). Therefore among other things, there can be no infinite loop between D’Artagnan and Favor of Dionysus.
