Smash Up: World Tour – Culture Shock

A set of five new factions inspired by global folk tales and historic cultures joins the base game. Players combine two factions each round and use their minions and special cards to control bases and score points. Factions draw on Russian folktales (transformation and altered minions), West African storytelling (card-sharing and communal effects), German tales (synergies for characters from the same story), the Inca Empire (movement along roads and strong architectural effects), and Polynesian voyaging (spreading presence across islands). All factions integrate with existing sets and follow the same card-slinging, area-control gameplay.
