About the game
Smash City is the action-packed game of Kaiju combat! Toss your giant monster dice at your foes to perform devastating attacks! Crush cities and spread fire, electricity, poisonous gas and radiation! Throw cars and destroy tanks! Inflict maximum carnage like a true Kaiju! Players must have good aim and a deft hand as they roll their monster dice into the city, knocking down buildings and attacking anything within range. You might even be able to throw cars at your foes! Each of the four Kaiju has special powers and each favors a particular energy type. Use these to crush your foes and smash the city! Players gain SMASH! cards as they destroy the city and will have to use their cards and powers to full effect if they hope to overcome their foes and be the victor of Smash City! —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Smash City supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Smash City is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Smash City for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Smash City has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
