About the game
What you do in a play session
Smash Up: Munchkin is a hilarious mix of strategy and chaos, where you combine two Munchkin-themed factions to create a unique deck. Picture clerics and orcs teaming up, or elves and thieves scheming together — the possibilities are as crazy as they are fun! The goal? Dominate bases by playing your cards smartly, using special abilities, and, of course, messing with others. Each smashed base scores points, and the player with the most at the end wins. With simple-to-learn but nuanced mechanics, every game is a fresh experience. And yes, Munchkin's trademark humor is all over the cards, so get ready to laugh while backstabbing your friends.
