About this expansion

Smash Up: Goblins is a 2021 addition to the Smash Up universe for 2–4 players, with games lasting around 45 minutes. It introduces a Goblins deck centered on the pursuit of gold and jewels.

The goblins’ desire for treasure can make them overlook the dangers associated with mining. That risky attitude shapes the deck’s play experience, creating moments where a bold decision may lead to an exciting payoff—or a smaller result.

At the heart of the Goblins deck are coin flips. These flips determine effects that can be big or small, keeping outcomes uncertain and making each result part of the excitement. The deck is designed to embrace risk rather than avoid it.

  • Play with 2–4 players.
  • Expect games of approximately 45 minutes.
  • Use coin flips to produce unpredictable effects.
  • Explore a risky theme of goblins searching for gold and jewels.

Smash Up: Goblins offers a focused deck concept built around danger, treasure, and chance. Whether the coin flip brings a major effect or something more modest, the Goblins’ mining ambitions ensure that every result can matter.

For players looking for a deck with an unpredictable and exciting identity, the Goblins bring a distinctive twist to Smash Up. Their search for glittering rewards comes with hazards, but that tension is exactly what makes their approach so engaging.
