Rules
- Main article: Rules
The rulebook for this set can be found here.
This set introduced the following changes to the rules:
This set also introduced the following clarifications:
- In the section "2. Play Cards" the rules used to say to discard actions after playing them unless they had an Ongoing ability. This rulebook changed that to include Talent abilities too. Really, the rules should have said "unless the action is played on a minion or a base".
- Added the definition of "To" in the form "Do this thing to do that thing."
Trivia
- "Monster Smash" is a reference to the 1962 song Monster Mash.
- Despite what the box description says, only three out of the four factions use the +1 power counters.
