Smash Up Playthrough with BriAnne Friesen

Released June 28, 2019 Smash Up, designed by Paul Peterson and published by Alderac Entertainment Group (AEG) is Mike’s favorite tabletop game. In it, players take two different factions – each represented by a 20 card deck – shuffle them together, and fight over bases. The factions tend to be referenced to geek culture – including but not limited to bronies, Star Trek, martial arts, and Cthulhu. Not only is this Mike’s favorite game, he is a playtester for the game. No, there will be no spoilers for upcoming developments as Mike (and all playtesters, actually) is under a non-disclosure agreement. Today, you will hear Mike explain, in as good a detail as he possibly can, how the game plays. Then, we’ll hear an actual game (again: not a playtest) being played between Mike and fellow playtester BriAnne Friesen. Mike played with Samurai and Minions of Cthulhu, while BriAnne played with Clerics and Ghosts. You’ll have to listen for the final score.
