Bases[]
Clarifications[]
Here are the official clarifications as they appear in the Smash Up: Disney Edition rulebook:
Escape Pod, Sugar Rush: All the characters must start on the same base and must be moved to the same base.
Cy-Bug Infestation, Mints Eruption: Swapping or destroying a base doesn’t score it.
Cy-Bug Infestation: Each player does what the card says in turn order, starting with the current player unless the card says otherwise.
Fix-It Felix Jr.: These say “the owner’s” instead of “your” because some abilities let you play cards you don’t own, so the controller isn’t always the owner.
King Candy: If you choose not to move King Candy, you can still have it affect a character at its base. The targeted character still counts as having power counters on it even though they don’t add to its power (e.g. it can get +1 power from SFIT Robotics Lab).
Mints Eruption: Cards remaining onto the new base aren’t played again and their on-play abilities are not triggered. Modifiers and counters on the characters are not affected.
Research Lab Beacon: All characters of the named faction are moved to there, no matter who controls them.
Sergeant Calhoun: Only characters on the base when the ability is resolved get the +1; those played or moved there later do not.
Sugar Rush Racer: These are resolved each time their trigger happens, not just once per turn.
Sugar Rush Racer, I’m Gonna Wreck It, Sergeant Calhoun: If there are multiple copies of a card in play at the same time, their abilities work for each of them, (e.g. all Sugar Rush Racers can move from one base modifier play; each Sergeant Calhouns can give +1 power, even if at the same base).
Suggested Disney Matchups and Tips for Play[]
To help beginner players, the Smash Up: Disney Edition set gave a few tips and tricks to play this faction, as well as partner recommendations within the set.
Good beginning partner factions: Aladdin, The Lion King
Tips for play:
- Be clever in your use of your base modifiers, both for their direct effects, and the advantages they give your characters.
- Time your movements to build up characters’ power (Sugar Rush Racer, Vanellope Von Schweetz, Sugar Rush), break or flee bases (Research Lab Beacon, Escape Pod), and save cards to remain after a base scores (Escape Pod).
- You can use with Cy-Bug Infestation and Mints Eruption to destroy or replace bases where your opponents are doing well.
Mechanics[]
Wreck-It Ralph's main mechanics revolves around its base modifiers, with abilities that allow you to move your characters around, giving them power and disrupt your opponents, and characters that interact with those modifiers for more mobility and power.
As a secondary mechanic, they have abilities that affect bases, such as reducing their breakpoint, cancelling their abilities and replacing them.
Synergy[]
- Steampunks: Steampunks and Wreck-It Ralph both reward consolidation strategies; Captain Ahab and Sugar Rush Racer can converge on a base where you have or just played a base modifier (play-on-base action), which is quite strong in tandem with Rotary Slug Throw and Sergeant Calhoun. Kart Bakery is a faster Difference Engine. Fix-It Felix Jr. can help recur Aggromotive and Rotary Slug Thrower much like Mechanic, albeit to hand rather than play, and place base modifiers on the top of their owner's deck. Ralph can speed out extra base modifiers outright and destroy troublesome base modifiers like those deployed by Tricksters and Dragons.
- Dragons: Dragons provide some bite with effects that punish other players for playing or moving their characters to your bases. Dragon Lands can further power up your Sugar Rush Racers, Intimidating Presence reduces the power of rival characters, Bring Down The Walls let you play extra minions before a base scores, Ruins reduce other players' VP gained when the base scores, and most useful of all, Flank Attack lets you fetch a base modifier right out of your deck.

Questions on Wreck-It Ralph[]
Q:
A:
Rule:
With AEG's Smash Up sets[]
Q: This can only play a "base modifier" so I cannot use it and play an action that says "Play on a base", correct?
A: Wrong, "Base modifier" and "Play on a base" are two synonymous phrases.
Q: This can only target a "base modifier" so I cannot use it and target an action that says "Play on a base", correct?
A: Wrong, "Base modifier" and "Play on a base" are two synonymous phrases.
Questions on Fix-It Felix Jr.[]
Q: Is there a limit to the number of cards in my hand?
A: Yes, the rules of the Smash Up: Disney Edition set are actually missing it, but there is a limit of ten cards though only during your Draw 2 Cards phase, which is when you draw two cards before the end of your turn. At any other time, you can have more than ten cards in hand and it is fine. You'll just wait until your next Draw 2 Cards phase to discard down to ten.
Q: After playing this card I (somehow) have more than ten cards in hand, do I immediately discard down to 10? Or am I prevented from getting a base modifier since I have exactly ten cards?
A: You get the card normally, disregarding the limit. You don't discard any card until your Draw 2 Cards phase. At that point, you will indeed need to draw two cards and discard down to 10 if you have more than 10. That's the only moment where you must discard down to 10. At any other time, you keep your hand of cards.
With AEG's Smash Up sets[]
Q: This can only target a "base modifier" so I cannot use it and target an action that says "Play on a base", correct?
A: Wrong, "Base modifier" and "Play on a base" are two synonymous phrases.
Questions on Vanellope Von Schweetz[]
Q: If Vanellope Von Schweetz's ability is cancelled, are the +1 power counters placed by its ability removed?
A: No. When you place a +1 power counter, it's a definitive effect (like drawing cards, if you play Minn-Erva, you're not going to discard the cards you drew if Minn-Erva's ability is cancelled), so the +1 power counters remain even if the card that placed them has its ability cancelled. Besides, how are you going to keep track of which +1 power counters were added by Vanellope Von Schweetz's ability and which ones were not (e.g. when playing with Mulan or Big Hero 6)? That would be very cumbersome.
Rule: Cancelling (or losing) an effect does not necessarily undo what it did.

Questions on Sergeant Calhoun[]
Q:

Rule:
With AEG's Smash Up sets[]
Q: This boosts the power of my "characters". So I can only boost my "character" cards, not my "minion" cards, correct?

Rule: The word “character” is an exact synonym for “minion” in the other sets.
Q: This interacts with my "base modifier" so I cannot use it in conjunction with an action that says "Play on a base", correct?
A: Wrong, "Base modifier" and "Play on a base" are two synonymous phrases.
Q: It boosts the power of "my other characters". Does it also boost the power of minions I own that don't control? I don't control them but I "own" them, so they are "my" minions, right?
A: No. "Your characters" are minions you control, whether or not you own them. A minion you own but don't control isn't yours.

Questions on Cy-Bug Infestation[]

Q: If a card refers to an action "that can be played on a base" (e.g. Mechanic, Flank Attack), this one doesn't say "play on a base" so it cannot be targeted, correct?
A: Wrong, "Base modifier" and "Play on a base" are two synonymous phrases.
Q: It allows me to move "my cards". Can I move a card I own that don't control? I don't control it but I "own" it, so it is "my" card, right?
A: No. "Your cards" are cards you control, whether or not you own them. A card you own but don't control isn't yours.
Q: How does this interact with the Disco Dancers' mechanic and Funky Town's ability?
A: It doesn't interact with them at all, because it says "Base modifier", which means that it is not a standard action.
Questions on Escape Pod[]

Rule: Abilities of cards in stasis do not work unless they refer to stasis.
Q: How does this interact with the Disco Dancers' mechanic and Funky Town's ability?
A: - If Diva copies it (and it can only copy it if you move a minion), Diva is considered as indirectly affected by the action and is moved to the same base.
- If Dancing King copies it onto a minion (it can be itself and it can only copy it if you move a minion), that minion is considered as indirectly affected by the action and is moved to the same base. Note that Dancing King only triggers once and allows you to move only one additional minion, not one per affected minion.
- If We are Family copies it (and it can only copy it if you move a minion), the minion it is on is considered as indirectly affected by the action and is moved to the same base.
- With Funky Town, you can only copy it if you're the one who played the action and if it moves one of your minions away from Funky Town, but if Funky Town does copy it, the minion is considered as indirectly affected by the action and is moved to the same base. Note that Funky Town only triggers once and allows you to move only one additional minion, not one per affected minion.

Rule: A play-on-base action doesn't give an ability to the base that any player can use.
Rule: A card's talent can only be used by that card's controller.
Q: I use King Candy's talent. Before the start of my next turn, if a character modifier is later played on or moved to the chosen character or if a +1 power counter is later placed on or moved to the chosen character, does the character modifier or +1 power counter have any effect at all?
A: No, once you use King Candy's talent, from that moment and until the start of your next turn, the abilities of any character modifier on the chosen character are cancelled and all +1 power counters on the chosen character stop adding to its power, including character modifiers later played on or moved to it and +1 power counters later placed on or moved to it.
Q: I use King Candy's talent. Before the start of my next turn, if a character modifier on the chosen character is moved to another character, the abilities of the character modifier are still cancelled, correct?
A: No, because King Candy's talent is worded as "until Z do X", the condition of its application must be continously checked. So, until the start of your next turn, only the abilities of character modifiers on the chosen character are cancelled. Those of them that are moved to another character regain their abilities.
Q: I use King Candy's talent. Before the start of my next turn, if a +1 power counter on the chosen character is moved to another character, that +1 power counter still isn't added to the new character's power, correct?
A: No, because King Candy's talent is worded as "until Z do X", the condition of its application must be continously checked. So, until the start of your next turn, only the +1 power counters on the chosen character do not add to its power. Those of them that are moved to another character count toward that character's power again.
Q: I use King Candy's talent. Before the start of my next turn, King Candy is destroyed, so the character modifiers on the chosen character regain their abilities and the +1 power counters on the chosen character count toward its power again, correct?
A: No, once King Candy's talent has been used, from that moment and until the start of your next turn, the effect that's under deadline still applies, even if King Candy itself is no longer in play. The effect being "the abilities of character modifiers on it are cancelled and power counters on it do not add to its power", which doesn't specify anything about King Candy needing to remain in play.
