About the game

What you do in a play session

If you have ever wondered what would happen if Aladdin teamed up with the Big Hero 6 crew to take over the world (or at least a few bases), Smash Up: Disney Edition is your answer. The premise is simple and addictive: you choose two themed decks, shuffle them together, and create a chaotic, powerful army. The goal? Be the first to reach 15 victory points by conquering bases scattered across the table.

The real fun lies in the mix. Each faction brings a unique playstyle to the table. While one might focus on swarming the board with minions, another might specialize in disrupting opponents' plans with 'take that' cards. Interaction is constant; you need to keep a close eye on your rivals because when a base breaks, only those with the most power there score points. The tension rises as bases are contested and character abilities start clashing directly.

With the Disney theme, the game gets a special charm featuring iconic art from movies like The Lion King, Mulan, and Frozen. Don't let the cute theme fool you: the game is competitive, strategically sound, and sometimes quite mean. It is the perfect choice for those who want a dynamic card game with high replayability, as every faction combination offers a different synergy. If you enjoy watching the chaos unfold while trying to optimize your hand, this game will be an absolute hit at your table. It is easy to learn, but mastering the combinations requires that sharp eye of someone who wants to win at any cost.

Is the game hard to learn?
Not at all! The rules are straightforward: play cards, try to control bases, and score. You'll get the hang of it during your first game.
How many players can play?
The game works perfectly for 2 to 4 players. With 4, the chaos at the bases is guaranteed!
How long does a game last?
Usually between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the players' experience and analysis paralysis.
Do I need other Smash Up versions?
Not at all. This is a standalone game, so you don't need anything else to start playing.
Is the game very aggressive?
It features plenty of direct interaction (the classic 'take that' style), so if you don't like having your plans disrupted, it's good to keep that in mind!
