The game features three-dimensional city buildings that players can knock over to gain different abilities. Each turn, they will roll giant dice in order to make the strongest possible attack against their opponents. If a building is knocked over, that player takes a\u00a0<strong>Smash\u00a0<\/strong>card, which give players special abilities. If a player knocks a building onto one of their opponents, that opponent takes damage based on the number of buildings that fell on them. If the player\u2019s die is touching a building with an energy token matching that monster\u2019s favored type of energy, they gain a\u00a0<strong>Power Up\u00a0<\/strong>token. They may also throw cars if their die lands within range of one, dealing 1 damage if they hit a monster or monsters and granting a\u00a0<strong>Power Up\u00a0<\/strong>token to that player.<\/p>\n<p>However, as they destroy the city, the city will fight back. The civilians have sent armies to take you on, and if you happen to land in the vicinity of one of these armies, you will take damage. Additionally, you will take damage if your die is touching a building with an energy token that your monster does not favor.<br \/>\nThe game ends when a monster reaches its last life point. The player who has the most\u00a0<strong>Power Up\u00a0<\/strong>tokens at the end of the game is the winner. With 4 unique monsters including the terrifying Toxiguana and the monstrous Magmalodon,\u00a0<em>Smash City\u00a0<\/em>will fire players up as they cause chaos and destruction in a battle to the death.\u00a0<em>Smash City\u00a0<\/em>is coming soon, so be sure to preorder it at your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/necaonline.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=29059e815774bd5c771c7d4eb&amp;id=6a7f37d9ee&amp;e=24cf7db932\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/necaonline.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D29059e815774bd5c771c7d4eb%26id%3D6a7f37d9ee%26e%3D24cf7db932&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1546981096532000&amp;usg=AFQjCNESwiWUpDXJMsn-pCMNinY-qKHBCQ\">Friendly Local Game Store<\/a>\u00a0or online today!<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information, visit:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/necaonline.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=29059e815774bd5c771c7d4eb&amp;id=8ed7056541&amp;e=24cf7db932\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/necaonline.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D29059e815774bd5c771c7d4eb%26id%3D8ed7056541%26e%3D24cf7db932&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1546981096532000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEfyx32aNlOQzkYvb6KBrEiSafwTg\">https:\/\/wizkids.com\/smash-city<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hillside, NJ \u2013 January 9, 2019\u00a0\u2013\u00a0WizKids is pleased to announce that its new building-toppling, car-throwing, city-crushing dice game,\u00a0Smash City,\u00a0is coming soon to North&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11399,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[5,7],"tags":[127],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/popculturenetwork.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/unnamed-3.jpg?fit=1160%2C300","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":11787,"url":"http:\/\/popculturenetwork.com\/wordpress\/2019\/01\/14\/qapture-the-quarry-and-qomplete-your-qollection-with-quarriors-qultimate-quedition-coming-soon\/","url_meta":{"origin":11398,"position":0},"title":"Qapture the Quarry and Qomplete your Qollection with Quarriors!
