World Tour: Culture Shock Coming Soon
I can’t believe I missed this. This blog could almost be called the Smash Up blog (especially after last week’s review of the first World Tour expansion) but yet somehow this news escaped me. Yes, I already knew (and probably mentioned) that the next World… Continue Reading “World Tour: Culture Shock Coming Soon”
Expansion Review – Smash Up: International Incident
It’s hard to quantify just how much enjoyment Smash Up has given to me, especially in the middle of a long work day when it’s just fun to sit down with two co-workers and try (and usually fail) to kick their asses. In a… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: International Incident”
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”

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”
Expansion Review – Smash Up: Science Fiction Double Feature
As I’ve stated a few times before, Smash Up and I have a bit of a checked history. I actually almost traded it away because I found it fiddly and didn’t really care for it. Then I played it again and something just clicked.… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Science Fiction Double Feature”
Smash Up Goes to the 70s
(Edit – 12/20/19: For those of you finding this article in some other way, the review is up!) Smash Up is a game with a special place in my heart, mainly because it had to earn its way there. When I first played it,… Continue Reading “Smash Up Goes to the 70s”
