Smash Up: Marvel

Players build a 40-card deck by shuffling two 20-card faction decks together, then use those mixed decks to contest and control bases for victory points. Each faction represents a different Marvel group with a distinct play style—heroes, villains and organizations introduce unique mechanisms that interact when combined. Players play minions and actions, contest bases, trigger faction-specific abilities, and score points for controlling bases until a victory-point threshold ends the game. Different pairings produce different strategic dynamics, encouraging experimentation with combinations of factions to find effective synergies.
