In Small World, a thrilling fantasy board game, players battle for conquest and control of a world too small for all. Designed by Philippe Keyaerts as a follow - up to his award - winning Vinci, it features a crazy cast of characters like dwarves, wizards, amazons, giants, orcs, and humans. These races use troops to occupy territory and conquer neighboring lands, aiming to eliminate other races. With 14 fantasy races and 20 special powers, players must choose the right combination to expand their empires, often at the expense of weaker neighbors. They also need to know when to let their over - extended civilization decline and start anew. On each turn, you can use your chosen race's tiles to occupy adjacent territories, defeating weaker enemies, or let your race go into decline (marked by flipping tiles to the black - and - white side). At the end of each turn, score one point per occupied territory. You can have one active and one declining race on the board. The special abilities of your race and the territories they occupy affect your score. After the final round, the player with the most coins wins.
To play Small World, first choose a combination of one of the 14 fantasy races and a special power. Use the tiles of your chosen race to occupy adjacent territories on the board. You might defeat weaker enemy races along the way. If you feel your race is over - extended, you can let it go into decline by flipping the tiles to the black - and - white side. Each turn, after taking your action, count one point for each territory your races occupy. Remember, you can have one active race and one race in decline on the board at the same time. When it comes to choosing your race and power, think about how they'll work together to help you expand your empire. Pay attention to your opponents' moves so you can plan your conquests. After the final round, the player with the most coins wins the game. Keep the game pieces in a safe place after playing to avoid losing them. If the tiles get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth.
