Awesome Level 9000

Buy this first

Our take
Assorted Meeples ranks it first and calls these decks among the best in power and versatility, and a BGG forum regular said to take it as one of any two sets.
What you need first
Playable alone for 2 players (each player mixes 2 factions); 3-4 players need a second Smash Up set or the base game. Mixes with any other Smash Up set.
What it adds
Four factions (Bear Cavalry, Ghosts, Killer Plants, Steampunks) and 8 bases, introducing Talents, abilities a card can use once per turn.
What it fixes
Gives the base set's mostly straightforward decks more power and combo options without making any pairing unbeatable.
