Ancient Egyptians

2026-04-27T01:52:20Z

Krecord21: Added clarification for Sphinx.

[[File:SU1052 CoverPhoto AncientEgyptians.png|none|frame|Illustrated by: Gong Studios]]

====== ''[https://connect.forgefire.games/products/smash-up-ancient-egyptians Purchase the Ancient Egyptians Faction on Forgefire!]'' ======
Many of our most esteemed historians and scientists of course believe that ancient Egyptians were helped along by aliens and creepy mummy magic. This is an accepted fact of modern science. And now it’s your chance to use those powers against your opponents! The Ancient Egyptians use the “bury” mechanic to leave surprises, both good and bad, on the board. Take care around them, you never know what lies hidden beneath the sands of time.

Ancient Egyptians are from the '''Oops, You Did It Again set''' and have a Titan card - '''Sphinx'''.

====== Complexity Level: HIGH ======

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

* '''Burying Cards'''

Ancient Egyptians have abilities that allow them to bury cards and abilities that allow them to uncover them outside the Start Turn phase. Buried cards are unique in that very few cards can target them, so you can effectively keep them buried until just the right time. They also get advantages from having buried cards and from uncovering them. Most notably, some of their cards are only advantageous when first buried and then uncovered. Mummies are also unique among their cards as they act like [[Pirates|First Mates]], remaining in play after their base scores, except they always start at power 2 when uncovered.

====== Strategy ======

====== Synergy ======

* '''[[Dinosaurs]]''': Dinosaurs like any faction that gives them extra plays. King Rex and Rampage are a great 1-2 punch for uncovering with Seal the Tomb.
* '''[[Ghosts]]''': Burying cards from your hand reduces the number of cards in your hand, making it easier to hit the "two or less" threshold.
* '''[[Mythic Greeks]]''': Mythic Greeks like extra action plays. Jason and Blessing of Anubis are a powerful combo even with just one or two other minions on Jason's base.
* '''[[Skeletons]]''': Another faction focused on burying, minions in particular. Returned One and Pyramid Engineer are great for uncover chains.

=== Cards - Minions ===

====== 1x Pharaoh ======

[[File:SU1052 OopsYouDidItAgain AncientEgyptians Folder8.png|none|thumb|420x420px|Illustrated by: Gong Studios]]

Special Cards, Counters and Other Rules

2026-04-27T01:37:13Z

Krecord21:

{{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 Cthulhu 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.

====== 30x Madness ======
[[File:SU1016.1 ObligatoryCthulhu Madness.png|none|thumb|Illustrated by: Alex Konstad]]
Draw two cards OR return this card to the Madness deck.

====== 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 all areas they control: Their hands, decks, and discard piles, as well as cards which are buried, stored under their cards, or in stasis. 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.

==== Cards Played off the Top of the Deck ====
''Used in Excellent Movies Dude and Half the Battle; That 70s Expansion via errata (Truckers)''

“Play X off the top of your deck” means you reveal cards from the top of your deck until you reveal a card of type X, and then play it; if you are told to play N Xs you do the procedure N times. After the Xs are played and resolved, if there are any unused revealed cards you shuffle them into your deck; before then those cards are not considered in play or part of any deck or discard pile.

If the deck is empty before you start revealing cards, shuffle your discard pile to make a new deck. But if the deck runs out while you are revealing, you stop revealing and can only play what you have already revealed. (This is also true for other cards that reveal from the deck until finding something, like Watson) If the X that you reveal has prerequisites for play that are not met (e.g. Shoggoth), it is discarded instead.

“If this card was played off the top of a deck” means if this card was among a group of cards revealed from the top of a deck and then played. It does not have to have been the very top card for it to be true. There are cards that don't specifically say "play X off the top of your deck" that help meet that condition without saying “play off the top of a deck”, such as Hoverbot, Secret Volcano Headquarters, Teaching Power, Moon Dumpster, or Raiding Party.

==== 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; Smash Up: Munchkin via errata (Clerics and Thieves)''

'''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.

====== ''[https://connect.forgefire.games/products/smash-up-teens Purchase the Teens Faction on Forgefire!]'' ======
Don't you forget about them! The Teens are here to take part in all the radical action from the 80s. Will you put together the perfect Brunch Club to stand up against the dweebies?

Teens are from the '''Teens set''' and '''do not''' have a Titan card.

====== Complexity Level: REPLACE ======

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

* '''Power-3 Minions'''
* '''Minions That Benefit From Specific Others'''

All 10 of the Teens' minions are power 3, and many of their cards care about and enhance minions with 3 power. Additionally, all of their minions have a specific other Teen that they care about - if that Teen is at the same base as the one they are played at, they gain an effect for when they are played.

====== Strategy ======

====== Synergy ======

* '''[[Aliens]]''': Prep and New Kid make it easy to fetch Invader. Brain, Jock, Prep, Rebel, Slacker, and Booty Trap all trigger off your Invader plays. Principal's Office adds to the suite of minion-bouncing and extra play effects. If an Invader ends up in discard, Explosion at School can shuffle it into your deck, and Strange Science lets you play it right out of your discard.
* '''[[Ninjas]]''': Shinobi are deceptively powerful with Teens thanks to the sheer number of power 3 support cards. Prep can give the Shinobi +2 power after you play it, further increasing the amount by which it can swing a base, Brain and Booty Trap can draw you cards for playing Shinobi, and Slacker can put Shinobi back into your deck from your discard pile.
* '''[[Grimms' Fairy Tales]]''': Abe Froman and Grimms' Blessing enable the names-matter effects in both factions. The power 3 fetching can help you find Frog Prince, Red Riding Hood, and Rumpelstiltzkin.
* '''Big Hero 6''': The characters (minions) are all power 3, making them work perfectly with Teens' triggers and support.

Aliens love to mess with people, and they love to mess with other players even more. From bouncing minions back to players’ hands, to replacing bases in play, aliens are out to have a great time, at any planet’s expense.

Aliens are from the '''Core (Base game) set''' and do not have a Titan card.

====== Complexity Level: LOW-MEDIUM ======

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

* '''Returning Minions to hand'''
* '''VP Gain'''

Like those in our stories, the elusive and mysterious Aliens of Smash Up take people for who knows what reasons. Aliens are experts at returning anyone's minions back to their hand. They can Beam Up their friends to safety, and Abduct their adversaries to Probe them for information. Can you withstand their bubble-helmed Invasion?

In isolation, returning minions to their owners' hands is not that significant of an ability, but Aliens leverage their expertise to enable a number of unique strategies. All of their returning abilities can target friend or foe. After you return an enemy's minion, use Probe to discard it, and also spy on their hand. You might preemptively deny them a powerful minion you weren't aware of! Aliens have a minor ability to play extra minions to help replay your own minions you return.

Aliens can do more than just return minions to hands. Send them to their decks instead with Disintegrator! This is especially strong against Tenacious Zs. As always, you can use this on your own minions. How about bases? Enter Terraforming! You even get to play an extra minion.

====== Strategy ======
Aliens' overall power is quite low, so they're not too great at breaking bases. Their Scout minions, however, are specialized at maintaining presence on the bases. You may return them to your hand after the base they are on scores, so you can reuse them. You're not likely to win bases this way, but second and third place are enough to support you along with the next strategy.

Invaders probably have the most powerful on-play ability in the whole game. By playing, returning, replaying, and rereturning them in an "Invader Dance", you can theoretically win the game without breaking any bases. More commonly, Invaders make up just one component of the Aliens' overall game plan. Relying on this tactic consumes a lot of your minion plays, so reserve Crop Circles to simultaneously slow your opponents' efforts at breaking bases. While fairly easy in a 2-player game, this gets harder the more opponents you face, because they will more and more easily break bases without your input.

====== Synergy ======
Aliens work best alongside factions that are also good at returning minions to hands. The next best have and/or support on-play abilities and help slow down the game for your opponents.

* '''[[Ninjas]]''': Master Ninja and Tiger Assassin are even more formidable if you can return them to hand and re-use their minion-destroying on-play abilities.
* '''[[Robots]]''': Zapbot, Hoverbot, Microbot Fixer, and Microbot Reclaimer all have useful on-play abilities that provide extra minion plays.
* '''[[Tricksters]]''': Blending their tricks and hindrances in with the Aliens, Tricksters also offer much-desired extra minion plays for you to farm VPs.
* '''[[Time Travelers]]''': Directly replay Invaders with Do Over! and take control of the bases.
* '''[[Star Roamers]]''': Ship's Captain can fetch any minion you need, and even play them as an extra minion if their power is 3 or less (like the Invader). Science Officer's talent lets you return one of your minions to your hand to play another with a different name, giving you access to a VP farming engine with Invader. Collector and Supreme Overlord are good partners for that combo, allowing you to repeatedly return other minions to hand. Medical Officer lets you return your Invaders and other minions to hand if they would be destroyed. Ensigns and Protector Fields can protect your Invaders and other minions from removal outright.

Star Roamers

2026-01-16T15:53:35Z

Krecord21: Removed the now-outdated clarification from Weird New Worlds

[[File:SU1037 CoverPhoto StarRoamers Folder.png|none|frame|Illustrated by: Francisco Rico Torres]]

====== ''[https://connect.forgefire.games/products/smash-up-star-roamers Purchase the Star Roamers Faction on Forgefire!]'' ======
These are the travels of the spaceship Undertaking. Its several-year mission: to find new worlds, seek out new life and new worlds (many of which look suspiciously like 1940s Earth), to bravely go where no person has gone before! The Star Roamers travel about the tabletop, using their incredible teleporting technology to send countless ensigns to their deaths, all in the name of base smashing!

Star Roamers are from the '''Cease and Desist set''' and '''do not''' have a Titan card.

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

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

* '''Returning Your Minions To Your Hand'''
* '''Moving Minions Between Bases'''

The Star Roamers emulate teleportation by triggering and altering the return of minions to your hand. All of their minions work together to create chain reactions that grant you more control of your minions the more are in play, eventually leading to overwhelming protection and mobility. Star Roamers are not so good at affecting other players, though.

The chains can be triggered in multiple ways and can end on any other base or your hand. Science Officer and 5 standard actions initiate returns to your hand, as well as Medical Officer if another one of your minions would be destroyed. Ship's Engineer and Whiplash Maneuver allow you to change return to hand into movement to a different base, saving precious minion plays, as well as gaining extras from Science Officer.

Ensigns protect your valuable Officers and Engineers by redirecting effects toward them instead. The Officers and Engineers in turn - especially Medical Officer - send sacrificial Ensigns right back into the action.

Ship's Captain is the only Star Roamer minion with an on-play ability, but what an absurdly amazing ability it is! This is the minion you will be returning to your hand instead of moving to a different base.

A unique card to the deck is Weird New Worlds, which is one of only two cards in the game capable of expanding the number of bases in play beyond "number of players+1". Teleport Overflow is another interesting action. At the least, it acts like the Aliens' Abduction on yourself, but if you have any minions with the same name you can play all of them on any bases. You can even include the minion you just returned. Very versatile.

====== Strategy ======
You are unlikely to have all of these minions in play at the same time, especially since you need to break and win bases to win the game. This is really where the complexity of this faction gets difficult to handle. You may know what to do when you have all these minions in play, but what if your opponents are keeping up with removing your synergizing minions, and you have to decide which 2 or 3 minion combination to spend your precious minion plays on? What do you even have in play right now!? It can be easy to lose track of the options available to you when you have so many other things happening in the game.

Ship's Captain helps you get a team online. Do not dismiss the value of finding your other best minions even though you can't immediately play them. Sometimes you have to choose between keeping your minions for their abilities or breaking bases with their power, but ideally you want both. Port Me Up is especially valuable for this purpose. Star Roamers combine Big Drops and Bait and Switches into coordinated plays coming from multiple angles. Putting them together is a daunting, ever-changing task.

====== Synergy ======
Star Roamers perform best with other factions that return minions to hands, which generally also feature great on-play abilities. Medical Officer helps relieve self-destruction penalties, but she doesn't help abilities that require that minions get destroyed (see Escape Hatch's clarification).

* '''[[Aliens]]''': Gain the minion with the pinnacle of on-play abilities: Invader. Aliens have other on-play abilities to add to Ship's Captain and they can always send enemy minions back to their hands. Scout is an ideal target for Teleport Overflow.
* '''[[Shapeshifters]]''': Find Ship's Captain and the Officers more easily, and mitigate the destruction penalties of Shapeshifter actions with Medical Officer.
* '''[[Ninjas]]''': "Return" your Ninja Acolyte with his ability, but actually just move him, generating an extra minion play every turn. Ninja's on-play abilities shore up Star Roamers' lack of destruction, and Infiltrate can destroy Weird New Worlds.
* '''[[Fairies]]''': Science Officer can return Titania and Ship's Captain when you reduce their power. This can be done with Glymmer or Enchantment to rapidly field your best minions. You can already do this with Puck for extra cards or actions.

Special Cards, Counters and Other Rules

2025-12-07T04:16:20Z

Krecord21: Added illustrator credits for Madness

{{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 Cthulhu 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.

====== 30x Madness ======
[[File:SU1016.1 ObligatoryCthulhu Madness.png|none|thumb|Illustrated by: Alex Konstad]]
Draw two cards OR return this card to the Madness deck.

====== 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.

===== Cards Played off the Top of the Deck =====
''Used in Excellent Movies Dude and Half the Battle; That 70s Expansion via errata (Truckers)''

“Play X off the top of your deck” means you reveal cards from the top of your deck until you reveal a card of type X, and then play it; if you are told to play N Xs you do the procedure N times. After the Xs are played and resolved, if there are any unused revealed cards you shuffle them into your deck; before then those cards are not considered in play or part of any deck or discard pile.

If the deck is empty before you start revealing cards, shuffle your discard pile to make a new deck. But if the deck runs out while you are revealing, you stop revealing and can only play what you have already revealed. (This is also true for other cards that reveal from the deck until finding something, like Watson) If the X that you reveal has prerequisites for play that are not met (e.g. Shoggoth), it is discarded instead.

“If this card was played off the top of a deck” means if this card was among a group of cards revealed from the top of a deck and then played. It does not have to have been the very top card for it to be true. There are cards that don't specifically say "play X off the top of your deck" that help meet that condition without saying “play off the top of a deck”, such as Hoverbot, Secret Volcano Headquarters, Teaching Power, Moon Dumpster, or Raiding Party.

===== Duels =====

[[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.

Special Cards, Counters and Other Rules

2025-12-07T04:13:38Z

Krecord21:

{{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 Cthulhu 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.

====== 30x Madness ======
[[File:SU1016.1 ObligatoryCthulhu Madness.png|none|thumb]]
Draw two cards OR return this card to the Madness deck.

====== 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.

===== Cards Played off the Top of the Deck =====
''Used in Excellent Movies Dude and Half the Battle; That 70s Expansion via errata (Truckers)''

“Play X off the top of your deck” means you reveal cards from the top of your deck until you reveal a card of type X, and then play it; if you are told to play N Xs you do the procedure N times. After the Xs are played and resolved, if there are any unused revealed cards you shuffle them into your deck; before then those cards are not considered in play or part of any deck or discard pile.

If the deck is empty before you start revealing cards, shuffle your discard pile to make a new deck. But if the deck runs out while you are revealing, you stop revealing and can only play what you have already revealed. (This is also true for other cards that reveal from the deck until finding something, like Watson) If the X that you reveal has prerequisites for play that are not met (e.g. Shoggoth), it is discarded instead.

“If this card was played off the top of a deck” means if this card was among a group of cards revealed from the top of a deck and then played. It does not have to have been the very top card for it to be true. There are cards that don't specifically say "play X off the top of your deck" that help meet that condition without saying “play off the top of a deck”, such as Hoverbot, Secret Volcano Headquarters, Teaching Power, Moon Dumpster, or Raiding Party.

===== 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.

Terms and Phrases

2025-12-07T03:46:06Z

Krecord21: Corrected definition of "standard" and added examples.

We do our best to use the words in the rules and card abilities carefully; specific words are not synonymous no matter how similar they seem. For example, destroy, discard, move, place, play, and return are all different things done with or to cards. This means that a card that cannot be destroyed can still be returned or discarded. In this section we clarify what the specific words mean.

===== Terms and Phrases with Examples: =====
[[File:SU1035 CeaseAndDecist ChangerBots20.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Gong Studios|none]]

====== A Minion ======
Any minion in play, unless stated otherwise

'''''Exception:''' "Play a minion" means one from the hand.''
[[File:00 Temporary Card Placeholder.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: |none]]
======Affect======
A card is affected if it is moved or transferred, removed from play (e.g., destroyed, returned, shuffled, or placed), changed in power or controller, has an action or counter attached, or its ability canceled. Removing an attached +1 power counter is considered to affect the card that it was attached to; but removing an attached action is not considered to affect the card that it was attached to, even if that indirectly changes the card’s power, abilities, etc. Credit for affecting a card goes to the controller of the card that explicitly mandated the effect.
'''''Exception:''' If the card specifies a different player to carry out an effect, that player gets the credit.''
[[File:SU1032 ItsYourFault Superheroes7.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Dudu Torres|none]]
======After======
“After X do Y” means you resolve X completely before you start doing Y. If X does not happen, neither does Y. You must do Y immediately after X, meaning before the current player does some other activity that does not depend on X. (Use common sense and courtesy when applying this rule.)
'''''Exception:''' “After a base scores” means after the VP are awarded, not after the new base is chosen; see page 6.''
[[File:SU1039 WhatWereWeThinking Grannies12.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Marcel Stobinski|none]]
======And/Or======
“X and/or Y” means X by itself, or Y by itself, or both X and Y.
[[File:00 Temporary Card Placeholder.png|thumb|315x315px|Illust:|none]]
======Attachments======
Anything that is attached to or played on a card, like other cards or power counters.
[[File:SU1033 ItsYourFault Tornados4.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Gildia Art Guild|none]]
======Before a Base Scores======
After a base has been chosen to be scored, but before VPs have been awarded.
[[File:SU1041 WhatWereWeThinking TeddyBears13.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Gong Studios|none]]
======Cancel======
Canceling an ability means the ability is treated as if it does not exist. Canceling does not undo previous effects created by the ability.
[[File:SU1025 PrettyPretty KittyCats14a.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: 2Minds Studio|none]]
======Control======
By default, each card you play is controlled by you. If you gain control of a card, it is as if you had played it: minions add to your power total, abilities on the card apply to you and you can use them, etc. Controlling a minion does not mean you control any actions played on it, but their abilities apply to the minion normally. When the card leaves play, it goes to the hand, deck, or discard pile of its owner.
[[File:SU1007 CoreSet Wizards19.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Carmen Cianelli|none]]
======Destroy======
This lets you remove a card that’s in play and put it into the appropriate discard pile.
[[File:SU1037 CeaseAndDecist StarRoamers Folder4.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Francisco Rico Torres|none]]
======Directly Affects======
Card X directly affects card Y if X’s ability does one of the things listed under “Affect”, and Y is a target specified by X.
[[File:SU1034 CeaseAndDecist AstroKnights4.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Alberto Tavira|none]]
======Directly increases power======
A card directly increases power if it gives it “+N power”, or places or transfers a +1 power counter, or sets the printed power to a higher value. Granting a power-increase talent (e.g. The Touch), or destroying a negative power card (e.g. Change Into A Gun) are not direct power increases.
[[File:00 Temporary Card Placeholder.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by:|none]]
======Discard======
This lets you put a card that is not in play or has just been scored into the appropriate discard pile. It comes from your hand unless it says otherwise.
[[File:SU1036 CeaseAndDecist Ignobles9.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Gong Studios|none]]
====== End of a turn======
The phrase “end of the turn” means the end of the current player’s turn; “end of your turn” means the end of your current turn if you are the current player, or the end of your upcoming turn if you are not the current player.
[[File:SU1005 CoreSet Robots.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Bruno Balixa|none]]
======Extra======
An extra minion or action is one that is not counted against your normal limit of one per type per turn. You may always play it immediately. If an ability gives
you an extra card during the Play Cards phase, you may play it later in the phase unless it refers to a specific card, or it was given by a Special ability. Like regular cards, extra cards are optional.
[[File:SU1015 ObligatoryCthulhu Cthulhu15.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Brian Hagan|none]]
======Have======
You have cards at a base if and only if you control the cards.
[[File:SU1048 That70sExpansion Truckers16.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Gong Studios|none]]
======Here======
“Here” refers to the base that the card currently occupies, or to the base itself if a base says “here”. “Move a card here” means “move a card to here” unless another destination is specified.
[[File:00 Temporary Card Placeholder.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated:|none]]
======Ignore an Ability======
Ignoring a base’s ability means: you do not follow a base’s instructions, you are not subject to its restrictions, and your cards are neither affected nor protected by its ability.
[[File:SU1018 SciFiDoubleFeature ShapeShifters4.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Víctor Pérez Corbella|none]]
======In Play======
Cards in play are in the middle of the table, i.e., an active base, a card on an active base, or a card on a minion. Cards are in play once they hit the table, even before their ability is resolved. Cards in the hand, deck, discard pile, or set aside, or in the box, are not in play.
[[File:SU1055 OopsYouDidItAgain Vikings14.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Francisco Rico Torres|none]]
======In the box======
A card that is in the box is entirely removed from play. Treat it as if it doesn’t exist for the duration of the game.
[[File:SU1043 BigInJapan Kaiju2.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Alberto Tavira|none]]
======May======
The phrase “You may do X” means you are allowed to do X, but are not required to do X. “You may do X and Y” means you either do both X and Y, or neither X nor Y; you cannot opt to do just one of them.
[[File:SU1001 CoreSet Aliens15.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Conceptopolis|none]]
======Move======
This lets you relocate a minion or titan from one base to another, along with any cards or counters on it. Moving a card does not count as playing it. On-play (i.e unlabelled) abilities do not trigger when you move a card.
[[File:00 Temporary Card Placeholder.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated:|none]]
======On Your Turn======
This means during the normal Play Cards phase of your turn. You can only do it once per turn unless it says otherwise.
[[File:SU1002 CoreSet Dinosaurs.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Saliym McCullin|none]]
======Ongoing======
Most abilities happen and then they’re over, or else they end at the end of the turn. Ongoing abilities are active for as long as they’re in play, and/or they trigger at some later time while in play. Ongoing abilities do not work from the hand, deck or discard pile.
[[File:SU1028 PrettyPretty Princesses18.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: 2Minds Studio|none]]
======OR======
“X OR Y”, with “OR” typeset in all capitals, means the controller chooses either X or Y to happen, but cannot choose both.
[[File:SU1037 CeaseAndDecist StarRoamers Folder17.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Francisco Rico Torres|none]]
======Other Players======
Everyone except “you.”
[[File:SU1038 WhatWereWeThinking Explorers19.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Alberto Tavira|none]]
======Owner======
The player who had the card at the start of the game. Monsters and treasures have no owner.
[[File:SU1027 PrettyPretty MythicHorses11.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: 2Minds Studio|none]]
======Place======
This lets you relocate a card in a way not covered by other terms, such as from a base to the bottom of your deck, or from the discard pile to your hand.
[[File:SU1003 CoreSet Ninjas18.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Isuardi Therianto|none]]
======Play======
You play a card when it’s one of the free cards you get in the Play Cards phase, or any time an ability specifically says that you’re playing it. A card’s ability happens when you play it. When cards are moved, placed, returned, or transferred, they’re not being played, and their abilities don’t happen.
[[File:SU1011 AwesomeLevel9000 KillerPlants15.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Dinobot Illustrations|none]]
======Player's abilities======
The abilities on the cards the player controls. This includes minions, actions, and titans, but not cards the player doesn’t control like bases or monsters. Players do not have abilities for themselves, separate from their cards.
[[File:SU1035 CeaseAndDecist ChangerBots17.png|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Gong Studios|none]]
======Printed Power======
The number physically printed on the card. The printed power is also the starting power of a card, unless an ability changes it.
[[File:SU1008 CoreSet Zombies.png|none|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Dave Allsop]]
======Return======
This sends a card back to where it came from. When a card returns from a base, discard attachments on that card and place it in its owner’s hand.
[[File:SU1014 ObligatoryCthulhu Innsmouth20.png|none|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Benjamin Sowa]]
======Same Name======
A group of one or more cards that all have identically matching card titles. Two or more Ninja Acolytes are such a group, but partial matches like a Ninja Acolyte/Ninja Master do not count. A single card always counts as a group of cards with the same name.
[[File:SU1004 CoreSet Pirates10.png|none|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Francisco Rico Torres]]
======Special======
Special abilities happen at unusual times or in unusual ways, as described in the abilities themselves. (E.g. they might trigger on a card already in play, or in your hand or discard pile.) A card played using a Special ability doesn’t count as one of your free cards for the turn. If a Special must be played when its conditions don’t allow it, it is discarded instead.
[[File:SU1046 That70sExpansion DiscoDancers Folder21.png|none|thumb|225x225px|Illustrated by: Klaudia Bulantová]]
======Standard======
A standard action is considered "standard" if it does not enter play or remain in play in any capacity when played from the hand.

* If an action is played on a base or a minion, it is not standard.
* If it places stasis counters on itself, then it is not standard, because cards in stasis are in play.
* If it buries itself on a base, then it is not standard, because buried cards are in play.
* If it is a self-burying card being uncovered or a self-stasising card played from stasis, then it is still not standard, because being standard is a quality of the card and not a quality of the play.
* If it goes somewhere else in the course of its ability, like another player's hand (e.g., Pot of Beans) or the bottom of the deck (e.g., Time Walk) then it is standard because it is not going into play.

[[File:SU1040 WhatWereWeThinking RockStars12.png|none|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Francisco Rico Torres]]
======Starting======
The power of a minion, or the breakpoint of a base, before being modified by other abilities (or by monsters for breakpoints). Normally this is the number printed on the minion or base, but some cards can change it.
[[File:SU1011 AwesomeLevel9000 KillerPlants10.png|none|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Dinobot Illustrations]]
======Talent======
This is an ability that the card may use once during the Play Cards phase of each of its controller’s turns. Using a talent is optional, and a talent can be used at any time during the Play Cards phase.
[[File:SU1017 SciFiDoubleFeature CyborgApes14.png|none|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Brynn Metheney]]
======There======
This means the location just referred to by the card text.
[[File:SU1020 SciFiDoubleFeature TimeTravelers4.png|none|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Igor Herras]]
======This======
“This” usually refers to the card itself. If it refers to a different type of card (e.g., a minion with the text “this base”), then it means the card of that type that it is played on; in such cases, “this” has no meaning on a card that is not in play.
[[File:SU1036 CeaseAndDecist Ignobles16.png|none|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Gong Studios]]
======To======
Some cards say, “Do X to do Y” (e.g. “Discard cards equal to a minion’s power to destroy it.”) With these cards, if doing X completely is thwarted for any reason (e.g., you don’t have enough cards in hand), then you can’t do any of X, or do Y either. If two or more cards tell you to do X to make something else happen, you cannot have that same X count for multiple cards. So there.
[[File:00 Temporary Card Placeholder.png|thumb|315x315px|Illust:|none]]
======Transfer======
This lets you relocate actions or power counters from one card to another. When adding counters to your cards (from the pool), or discarding counters from your cards (to the pool), that’s not transferring. If the target of the transfer is immune to effects, the transferred card or token is discarded instead.
[[File:SU1050 BiggerGeekierBox Geeks8.png|none|thumb|315x315px|Illustrated by: Francisco Rico Torres]]
======When======
“When scoring” means at the time VP rewards are distributed. For uses other than scoring, “when X” means as X starts happening (typically, you interrupt the part of X that is pertinent to the ability of the card that says, “when”; if there is nothing to interrupt, then “when X” acts just like “after X” and you’ve discovered a card that we made an error on).
[[File:00 Temporary Card Placeholder.png|thumb|315x315px|Illust:|none]]
======While======
In general, “while X” means as long as X is true. “While scoring” means any time during the Score Bases phase, from the moment the base is chosen to score until it is discarded and replaced by a new base.
[[File:00 Temporary Card Placeholder.png|thumb|315x315px|Illust:|none]]
======You======
On a minion, action, or titan, “you” means the controller of the card. On a base, it means any player it describes, which is usually the current player.
[[File:SU1042 BigInJapan IttyCritters19.png|left|thumb|205x205px|Illustrated by: Studio 2Minds]]
======Your======
When referring to cards in play, this means cards you control, no matter which faction or deck they are from.

Steampunks

Krecord21: Corrected Workshop ability text

[[File:SU1012 CoverPhoto Steampunks.png|none|frame|Illustrated by: Conceptopolis]]

======''[https://connect.forgefire.games/products/smash-up-steampunks Purchase the Steampunks Faction on Forgefire!]''======
Jules Verne once said, “Hey, Steampunks. Nice threads.” Ever since that fateful day, these retronauts have been classing up the joint everywhere they go. Any base in the game will look smarter and be just a bit friendlier for full-on Steampunk domination.

Steampunks are from the '''Awesome Level 9000 set''' and '''do not''' have a Titan card.
======Complexity Level: Low-Medium======
======Mechanics======
*'''Playing Actions on Bases'''
*'''Minions and Actions Support Each Other'''
What happens with an engine when no one's there to operate it? Steampunks know the answer intimately well. Steampunks have tons of play-on-base actions. Pretty much all their other cards interact with play-on-base actions in some way. Conversely, pretty much all their play-on-base actions interact with minions in some way. Quite a symbiotic relationship going on here.

======Strategy======
Steampunks have a lot of power and mobility when they put their minions and play-on-base actions together, and lack it all when they separate. It is important to realize just how intertwined their minions and actions are. 6/10 of their actions directly rely on your minions, and 9/10 of their minions' abilities directly rely on play-on-base actions (Steam Queen also protects play-on-minion actions). This symbiosis tends to get ever stronger the more minions and play-on-base actions you have in play. As a consequence, the beginning of the game tends to be slow for Steampunks, and also just after bases they won score. Keep steaming on by recycling your play-on-base actions with Mechanic and Scrap Diving.

Usually, factions with abilities that draw extra cards also have abilities that play extra cards, but Steampunks do not. Drawing extra cards still helps you find the best cards in your deck, though, even if you have to discard down to 10. Note that the extra card from Difference Engine comes ''after'' Phase 4 of your turn, so you would end with 11 cards not 10.

Opponents may try to disrupt the plan. You should look out for this, but Steampunks thought ahead for you. Steam Queen, Escape Hatch, and Ornate Dome help you stay in control of the situation. Combine these three with Difference Engine to create a nigh-impenetrable fortress. The longer you keep the base these are on from breaking, the longer you will profit from it.

======Synergy======
Factions with play-on-base actions are great for Steampunks, and ones that play into their utilities.
*'''[[Pirates]]''' - Abet Steampunks with the original kings of mobility. Steampunks have no minion destruction of their own, if you needed that.
*'''[[Tricksters]]''' - Amazingly, Tricksters have almost as many play-on-base actions as Steampunks.
*'''Bear Cavalry''' - Bears have a couple play-on-base actions that greatly buff your minions, as well as a couple extra minion plays to balance Difference Engine.
*'''[[Ancient Incas]]''' - Sapa Inca can fetch Aggromotive and Rotary Slug Thrower.
*'''[[Star Roamers]]''' - Plug into these guys' insane protective movement chains and extra minion plays. If you're smart, your power will end up exactly where you need it.

Sheep

Krecord21: Shearing correction

[[File:SU1069 CoverPhoto Sheep.png|none|frame|Illustrated by: Studio 2Minds]]

====== ''[https://connect.forgefire.games/products/smash-up-sheep Purchase the Sheep Faction on Forgefire!]'' ======
Decades of ewe-genics has transformed these harmless, dumb, grazing animals into harmful, dumb, grazing animals. They obediently and harmlessly follow other minions around from base to base… then they mercilessly crush their opponents with a wave of minions no one can stop. They are baaaaad news!

Sheep are from the '''10th Anniversary set''' and '''do not''' have a Titan card.

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

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

* '''Moving As A Response'''
* '''Copying Opponents' Cards'''

Sheep are focused primarily on movement, particularly in response to other minions being played or moved. They have many cards that move under the same criteria allowing them to all come running to the same base at the same time, giving this deck the ability to abruptly burst a base with a lot of power. The drawback is that sheep respond to opponents minions as well, which is why Little Bo Peep is important.

Sheep also have a couple cards that deal with mimicking their opponents (another form of "following the crowd") and taking random cards from them to supplement the limits of being so heavily focused on movement.

'''Power 3''' - Ongoing: After another minion is played here, move this minion to another base.

Errata: Yes, Wording (added "another")

Clarifications:

* Black Sheep’s ability has it moved by its controller, so Little Bo Peep does not block the ability unless they have different controllers. It is also not blocked by cards like Incorporeal

Errata: Yes, Functional (once per turn added) - errata'd in the Bigger Geekier Box

Special: Play after another player plays an action. Copy the ability of that action.

Errata: No

Clarifications:

* This acts as if the ability of the action being copied were printed on it. If it copies an action that is played on a minion or a base, it is also played on a minion or base, and not necessarily the same one. Hello, Dolly! can copy actions that have conditions for being played (e.g. Make Contact, Cosplay) without having to fulfill those conditions; it has its own conditions for being played, so the other card’s conditions are moot.

Killer Plants

2025-11-12T23:25:43Z

Krecord21: Removed outdated clarification for Sprout.

[[File:SU1011 CoverPhoto KillerPlants.png|none|frame|Illustrated by: Dinobot Illustrations]]

======''[https://connect.forgefire.games/products/smash-up-killer-plants Purchase the Killer Plants Faction on Forgefire!]''======
Feed them, Seymour! (Don’t do it Seymour!) Because these guys grow all on their own. They become stronger the longer they remain in play, so plants can be a major problem for anyone who came to the table without garden shears.

Killer Plants are from the '''Awesome Level 9000''' '''set''' and have a Titan card: '''Killer Kudzu'''
======Complexity Level: LOW-MEDIUM======
======Mechanics======
*'''Growing'''
*'''Spreading Like Weeds'''
Killer Plants take a steady and rooted approach to the game. Most of their abilities are delayed and/or multi-turn, having the least impact the turn they are played. Killer Plants root through your deck drawing and searching for new minions, overwhelming bases with more and more power if left unchecked. Their actions generally either play extra minions or help maintain presence on the bases.

======Strategy======
Water Lilies and Venus Man Trap are the flowers of this faction, endlessly generating extra cards and minions for you as long as they remain on the field. Your opponents will want to remove them. Killer Plants have means to prevent their minions from getting moved or returned to your hand, but unfortunately not from getting destroyed. If your opponents are able to stay one step ahead of you, you will have a tough time. The Plants spread their runners and seeds far and wide, though, so if you manage to establish on a base you tend to stick. Use Sleep Spores to delay bases from breaking, so you have a chance to gain footholds and snowball into wins.

======Synergy======
Factions whose low-power minions have good abilities or that can protect from destruction are great partners for Killer Plants. Sometimes factions with good on-play abilities make up for the Plants' lack of them, since Sprouts trigger the abilities when they grow into their replacement.
*'''[[Ghosts]]''' - Several points of synergy with Plants that add up to a strong combination. Haunting offers two more minions for Sprouts to grow into, and Incorporeal protects vulnerable minions. The extra cards and minions help out Ghosts.
*'''[[Steampunks]]''' - With their numerous play-on-base actions, Killer Plants fit right into Steampunks' primary game plan. You even get to transplant around the board with Zeppelins and Captain Ahab.
*'''[[Zombies]]''' - They want their Tenacious Zs and Walkers on the field as soon as possible, and Plants help that happen. Sprouts offer bonus fodder since they have such short lives.
*'''[[Pirates]]''' - First Mates are potent base-breakers, and the mobility helps you stay ahead of your opponents.

Krecord21: Corrected clarifications for Oh, No!, Tiny Priestesses, and Gorgodzolla.

[[File:SU1043 CoverPhoto Kaiju.png|none|frame|Illustrated by: Alberto Tavira]]

====== ''[https://connect.forgefire.games/products/smash-up-kaiju Purchase the KAIJU Faction on Forgefire!]'' ======
Giant monsters stomp around Tokyo, smashing countless buildings as they battle. Their amazing destructive power confounds scientists, whose greatest weaponry proves useless against them. Who can stop the massive power of a guy in a rubber suit? We know! We’ll let the precocious 10-year-old, with unexplained access to the Japanese military’s most secure facilities, talk to it!

Kaiju are from the '''Big in Japan set''' and have a Titan card - '''Gorgodzolla'''.

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

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

* '''Supporting Gorgodzolla'''
* '''On-Base Actions That Directly Provide Power'''
* '''Very Few Minions'''

Most titans only support the gameplay already established by the minions and actions of their faction. In contrast, Kaiju's cards literally describe the activities of Gorgodzolla and similarly enormous creatures. They Stomp, they Pick Up Busses, and have Radioactive Breath. No faction is more involved with the concept of titans than Kaiju.

Rather than steal the limelight from the strange beast, Kaiju minions are at a minimum, at just 3. Gorgodzolla functionally replaces them, and Kaiju features 9 play-on-base actions that add power all by themselves. The way Gorgodzolla has to wait until 2 actions have been played on a base before joining there emulates the gradual devastation of bases over time. Playing him helps wreck things even more, by accruing +1_Power_Counters and drawing extra cards.

====== Strategy ======
Wreck havoc.

Kaiju is a somewhat slow faction, owed partly to the imbalance between minions and actions, to Gorgodzolla's play requirements, and to the fact that he accumulates power counters. Demolish your opponents' minions and actions and utilize defense to gradually build up your power until you have a winning play ready.

Johnny is a deviously versatile card. You can use it to replay an action to a different base, or replay it onto the same base you return it from. Play Radioactive Breath on 2 bases, play Stomp twice on one base, or Tail Smash, etc.

====== Synergy ======
Factions focused on play-on-base actions, or that play extra actions, are great with Kaiju.

* '''[[Steampunks]]''': Pretty much OP. Rampant manipulation of Kaiju's play-on-base actions, as well as power, mobility, and protection. Note that the action Change in Venue returns to your hand can be replayed on the base it came from, normally unhelpful for Steampunks since only one of their play-on-base actions has an on-play ability.
* '''[[Wizards]]''': Improve your action throughput.
* '''[[Mythic Greeks]]''': Since Argonauts are played on bases and considered actions, they can also be considered play-on-base actions. Reap even more benefits for playing actions.
* '''Tricksters''': In addition to having lots of play-on-base actions, Tricksters help you invade bases and control your opponents there.
* '''[[Dragons]]''': Double base-wrecking.

Errata: No

Clarifications:

* Diva cannot copy effects of actions played on minions or bases, nor of actions previously played. It cannot copy an effect already copied from a third minion by another Diva etc. It can copy once per action causing the effect, not once per minion being affected. “The same way” means e.g. moving it to the same base, or giving control of it to the same player. It can copy an effect even if it does not fit the original prerequisites (e.g. “power 3 or higher”). You must choose whether to copy an effect when the action is played, not when the effect happens. If an effect has multiple parts, choose only one part to copy. The copied effect is considered to come from the original standard action causing the effect, not from the Diva etc. allowing additional affected targets.

'''Power 3''' - Ongoing: Once each turn, when a standard action directly affects one or more of your other minions here, you may choose this minion to be affected the same way.

Errata: No

Clarifications:

* Diva cannot copy effects of actions played on minions or bases, nor of actions previously played. It cannot copy an effect already copied from a third minion by another Diva etc. It can copy once per action causing the effect, not once per minion being affected. “The same way” means e.g. moving it to the same base, or giving control of it to the same player. It can copy an effect even if it does not fit the original prerequisites (e.g. “power 3 or higher”). You must choose whether to copy an effect when the action is played, not when the effect happens. If an effect has multiple parts, choose only one part to copy. The copied effect is considered to come from the original standard action causing the effect, not from the Diva etc. allowing additional affected targets.

===== The Expanding Universe =====
From its first big bang, the Smash Up universe has expanded until none of our printed rulebooks could hold it all! So we took all those rulebooks and put them into this ever expanding, always being edited, all in one convenient, if not terribly funny wiki!

===== How to use this wiki =====
If this is your first exposure to Smash Up, don’t let this ginormous wiki scare you off! The basic rules are covered in the first 1-7 links below! Use those to start with, along with any special rules for the factions you are using, as found in '''Faction Links''' below.

As you play, you can find answers to many of your rules questions in '''6.''' '''Terms and Phrases''', and specific card clarifications, which are found in the '''Faction Links'''. After a game or two you may enjoy reading the more '''7.''' '''Detailed Rules''' for greater enlightenment.

If you want to more about this wiki in particular, check out the '''Update Tracker''' which lists everything that's been changed or added per week, and the '''How to Read a Card Entry''' page, which describes what each part of a card's entry in a faction page means.

Well, everyone was... Kung Fu Fighters have incredible martial skills that defy reality. Well, the defying reality bit was in large part due to wires... but still, they know how to dish out a beating. Kung Fu Fighters know that power flows like water, and can make it flow from minion to minion as they wish.

Kung Fu Fighters are from the '''That '70s Expansion set''' and have a Titan card: '''Sifu'''.

====== Complexity Level: Medium-High ======

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

* '''Generating +1 Power Counters'''
* '''Moving +1 Power Counters'''

Kung Fu Fighters focus on generating +1 power counters. Since their main counter-generator cards (Drunken Master and Lady Whirlwind) can't generate more if they already have counters on them, they rely on their other cards to transfer the counters away to start generating them again. If it's not enough, they are able to transfer the +1 power counters from any minion card, including other players' minions, so they are great at weakening factions that can generate lots of +1 power counters.

Additionally, they have several abilities that allow them to destroy several minions, especially those that are weaker than yours, thus increasing the interest of strengthening your minions while weakening your opponents'.

====== ''[https://connect.forgefire.games/products/smash-up-magical-girls Purchase the Magical Girls Faction on Forgefire!]'' ======
Moonlight, dreams, love, and starshine! OMG, it’s so kawaii!!!! The Magical Girls are undoubtedly cute, but they will surprise you with what they can do with their spells. And they work together as a team. Evil will have no chance against these girls.

Magical Girls are from the '''Big in Japan set''' and have a Titan card - '''Walking Castle'''.

====== Complexity Level: LOW-MEDIUM ======

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

* '''Caring About The Number Of Your Minions At A Base'''
* '''Minions With Talents'''
* '''Unique Minions'''

Almost every Magical Girl minion is unique from one another, but almost all their abilities scale with the number of your minions on the same base. They start off weak and lonely, then become very powerful as they support one another's abilities. Their abilities tend toward mobility between bases and recovery from the discard pile, but each member of the team has a unique function strengthening the whole.

As part of the Big in Japan set, Magical Girls have a titan, Walking Castle.

'''Talent Time!'''

Each of the stronger half of Magical Girl minions has a talent. The order in which you use them often makes a difference, since you can manipulate how many minions you have grouped up, with the most potency at the moment they have the largest numbers. Talents have only one use per turn; don't be careless with them.

Walking Castle protects your minions and also has a talent, useful for splitting up the team to stall for time, or gathering it up for a coordinated play.

'''Tag Team!'''

The Black and White Magicats and their partners Lunar Captain and Power Maid, respectively, have a special tag team dynamic. The Magicats summon their partners wherever they may be. They are the only two Magical Girl minions (and usually no one else's factions have any) that Lunar Captain and Power Maid can summon if they are alone, since both have 1 power. The Magicats then help handle more common minions of power 2, 3, etc.

The harsh, paradoxical reality is that the more of your minions you have together on one base, the sooner yourself or your opponents will break that base and remove them from play, leaving you weakened. If they aren't all needed to win a base, you should move the excess away for later use. Splitting them up to preserve them is sometimes preferable, since Magical Girls don't play many extra minions. On the other hand, your minions may be separated and would win you a base if only they were in a larger group.

'''Minions vs Actions'''

For the most part, Magical Girl minions and actions have similar abilities. Some factions can't function without their key actions, but for Magical Girls they merely assist with what their minions and titan already do. This makes Silver Shard better for Magical Girls than many other factions. Magical Staff and Coordination are good actions, as is Purge the Demon.

====== Strategy ======
Magical Girls' overall power and burst potential is a bit lacking, so exploitation of their talents is a must. Powering up those talents is a tricky business, because as mentioned above, gathering your minions together makes them more likely to leave the game. Good foresight and arithmetic skills will greatly aid you.

Assembling good team synergy is time-consuming and often left to chance, so it is worth it to preserve a few core team members - notably Lunar Captain, Power Maid, and Sakura Warrior - from remaining on bases when they score, using your other minions instead. Keeping Magicats on hand gives you more flexibility with Lunar Captain and Power Maid. Reducing the power of your own minions with Sakura Warrior is a risky move that can keep your minions on the bases until you can secure a clear victory.

Bait and Switch, an advanced maneuver, is your best method for breaking bases. Between Walking Castle, Power Maid, and Celestial Teleport, Magical Girls are highly mobile, and well protected by Walking Castle and Fancy Suit Lad. Power Maid can also move enemy minions. Magical Girls need a lot of space to shuffle around their minions, so it is a good idea to target and bully other titans early before they can threaten you.

'''Bases'''

Despite its association with Magical Girls, Q Point is pretty unfavorable for them. Cards that do well there are titans that accumulate power counters and those that don't specify what can't destroy them; in Magical Girls' case, their protections are only against other players, not bases. If Walking Castle or Fancy Suit Lad did work here, it would be an auto-win for Magical Girls. As it is, the best they can do is weaken the competition around them with Sakura Warrior.

Akihabara High is better for them, but especially favors factions that can play multiple minions in one turn. There are many others better at this than Magical Girls.

====== Synergy ======
Magical Girls perform well with minion-focused factions and those whose minions have low starting power that gain bonus power at the moment you need it later on.

* '''[[Robots]]''': So. Much. Teamwork. Keep replaying Mister Alpha! Magical Girl actions are largely situational, so you probably won't play them every turn, but don't forget to power up Tech Center.
* '''[[Ghosts]]''': A surprisingly effective combination, using Magical Girls' talents to overcome having a small hand. If you need extra or specific minions from your discard pile, Lunar Captain provides them, and helps mitigate discarding minions from your hand to power Ghost abilities.
* '''[[Shapeshifters]]''': G.E.L.F. can fetch most any Magical Girl minion save for Lunar Captain, and if used to fetch Black Magicat, can indirectly fetch her as well. Since Mimics have a printed power of 0, Lunar Captain can recover them for free.
* '''[[Mythic Horses]]''': Mythic Horses like having lots of minions on bases, Magical Girls like having lots of minions on bases. Their strategies naturally go hand-in-hand (or hand-in-hoof, as the case may be). Magical Girls offer a lot of control and recursion to compliment Mythic Horses' focus on increasing power. Coordination is a fine compliment to Togetherness Power for extra minion plays, and Adventure Power is great for converging your minions onto one base.
* '''[[Superheroes]]''': Lunar Captain is a fantastic target for Mild-Mannered Citizen, as she can easily retrieve the Citizen, letting you play the same Citizen over and over again. Both factions have lots of actions that either place minions from your discard pile into your deck or return them to your hand, making it easy to play them again and again.
* '''[[Itty Critters]]''': The Magicats and Rainbow Girls are prime minions for Critter Champion and Critter Coaches to fetch, and the Magical Girls' "number of minions matter" effects can be powered up quickly by extra minion plays. Magical Staff, Kiss the Sky Spell, and Lunar Healing Love Spell can get Critter Champion and Critter Coach back, while Silver Shard can shuffle power 2s back into the deck.
