Smash Up: Big in Japan

About this board game

Smash Up: Big in Japan is a 2017 expansion for two-player games of Smash Up, with approximately 45 minutes of play time. It brings four factions inspired by Japanese pop culture to the game’s signature base-bashing action.

Choose from anime fighting girls, cute collectible critters that are totally not Pokémon, colorful fighters that are in no way Power Rangers, and Godzilla. Together, these factions create a distinctly kawaii take on Smash Up, combining playful themes with the recognizable larger-than-life style of the series.

With its focused two-player format, Big in Japan is designed for head-to-head clashes. The expansion’s four factions give the setting its central identity, offering a collection of colorful pop-culture forces built around the fun of smashing bases.

• Four factions born from Japanese pop culture
• Anime fighting girls, cute collectible critters, colorful fighters, and Godzilla
• Supports two players
• Approximately 45 minutes of play time

The box also includes a memorable manufacturing note from AEG Customer Service. Although it says there are four dividers and four Titan cards, the Titan cards became the divider cards through a truly “MAGICAL” factory mix-up. In other words, the cards are not missing; the divider cards are the Titan cards.

Whether the appeal is anime-inspired action, adorable creatures, colorful heroes, or the unmistakable presence of Godzilla, Smash Up: Big in Japan delivers a playful Japanese pop-culture spin on base-bashing for your next two-player game.
