Expansion Review – Smash Up: Oops, You Did It Again
What other game other than Smash Up would allow you to see what would happen if such varied things such as Cowboys, Monsters, and Teddy Bears got into a big fight? I think that’s one of the things I love about the game, even… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Oops, You Did It Again”
Smash Up: International Incident Coming March 22!
(Edit – 12/20/19: For those finding this post some other way, the review is up!) Long-time followers of this blog know how big a fan of Smash Up I am.

Top 25 Games Played of All Time (20-16)
As a relatively new board game blogger (less than 2 years, and just hitting 200 posts), I sometimes don’t feel right making “Top 10” lists.

Expansion Review – Smash Up: What Were We Thinking?
Another day, another Smash Up expansion. This is becoming almost a weekly thing! Or maybe it just seems that way. Anyway, with my latest expansion acquisition (not the latest expansion period, since I am nothing if not eclectic (Editor: You mean random, right?) in… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: What Were We Thinking?”
The Completionist Mindset
I was just going to do one post today, but something that I saw last night made me wonder. And making me wonder is a really dangerous thing sometimes. On Boardgame Geek in the Smash Up forum, there’s a thread called “Play mat unavailable?” In… Continue Reading “The Completionist Mindset”
Expansion Review – Smash Up: Cease and Desist
If I keep on getting and reviewing Smash Up expansions, I’m going to have to come up with some creative openings that don’t all sound the same. Maybe make up some meta joke that will carry throughout the reviews? Not sure on that one.… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Cease and Desist”
