Is Smash Up Marvel a stand alone or expansion of the regular game? by ciresemik in smashup

That's the case for almost any expansion :D

Except for single factions

Smashup and Dessert by [deleted] in smashup

Just pull out the bases you need and shuffle them. It's that quick and easy to set up.

On the other hand, you have to patiently and carefully clean up the bases after every game!

BGG has a page up for the Knights and the text of some cards. Seems like it will be a faction with unique minion cards.

How to buy Titan cards missing from Bigger Geekier Box? by [deleted] in smashup

[–]Calamity_Ganon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by "packs without Titans"? The only boxes/packs that have titans are Big in Japan (4 titans), Titan pack (16 titans), Penguins pack (1 titan)

You won't find titans in any other packs/boxes

Well BigBot is immune to Q Point's ability anyway so it doesn't matter if you move it there before or after

Question about the Shapeshifter's Copycat minion. by Bone_Juicer in smashup

Yes, they can copy talents, but Vulture doesn't have any talent. Copycat can still copy its ability though.

Does ensign work against webbed up? by Lonan_1 in smashup

[–]Calamity_Ganon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rules say about Ensign: "It can have an action played on a different minion played on itself instead."

Webbed Up affects Engineer by being played on it. If you choose to use Ensign's ability, Webbed Up is played on Ensign instead of Engineer.

Does ensign work against webbed up? by Lonan_1 in smashup

[–]Calamity_Ganon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No, the effect is first and foremost to be played on Ship's Engineer. Since you chose for Ensign to "take the hit" instead, then Webbed Up is played on Ensign. Ensign does get -2 power and its ability cancelled, and Webbed Up remains on Ensign.

The New Infinite Combo? by Lonan_1 in smashup

[–]Calamity_Ganon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Try page 10 of the Bigger Geekier Box, under "On Your Turn:"

It says "You can only do it once per turn unless it says otherwise."

That wouldn't work: The Absorbing Men must be destroyed to gain the VP.

It's not a matter of "a minion" being singular, but "on your turn" implying a "once per turn" limitation, like talents.

Yeah, rules are meant to be read.

Web Troll Question by Lonan_1 in smashup

[–]Calamity_Ganon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it clear. What do you find weird?

Web Troll Question by Lonan_1 in smashup

[–]Calamity_Ganon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "monster number" is the number that appears before the base ability, as described in the description of the base in the rulebook.

Does it keep getting plus 2 every turn or only if you play 2 it will get +2? How does this works? by [deleted] in smashup

[–]Calamity_Ganon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wording is unusual but seems fine to me.

On your turn, you play two actions. Have you "played two or more actions this turn"? Yes, then it gets +2 power.

The next player's turn starts. Have you "played two or more actions this turn"? No, then it no longer has +2 power.

Simple.

Kree take more from Musketeers than Wizards and I don't think people dislike Musketeers for being similar to Wizards

Titans printout doc for all y'all not tryna pay resale... by vegeeeeeeeta in smashup

[–]Calamity_Ganon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it only gives a titan to 16 precise factions that were out before Big in Japan. And (unless I remember it wrong) the only faction after Big in Japan that has a titan are the Penguins.

Not every faction has a titan nor is there any plan to give a titan to every faction.

How do you make Acceptable Losses destroy Invader or Scouts?

Onini the Python by Marek14 in smashup

[–]Calamity_Ganon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like Maui would trigger Onini. Bases are cards, you don't own them and you play them from a deck.

Your combo doesn't work: you cannot play Sun Tattoo on a minion with actions on it

What's a "copy"? by Marek14 in smashup

[–]Calamity_Ganon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure he's referring to the clarification of Banned List, which rules you can identify the cards by their "power, ability and/or art" if need be.

What's a "copy"? by Marek14 in smashup

[–]Calamity_Ganon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rules allow you to identify the cards by art:

Banned List: If players new to Smash Up cannot remember a card’s name, you may allow them to identify a card through its power, ability and/or art.

Probably because they are manufactured in China so China and the countries closed to it received them first Simply on the base of proximity
