Description

Small World is a zany, light-hearted civilization game in which 2-5 players vie for conquest and control of a board that is simply too small to accommodate them all! Picking the right combination of fantasy races and unique special powers, players must rush to expand their empires - often at the expense of weaker neighbors. Yet they must also know when to push their own over-extended civilization into decline and ride a new one to victory.

Contains:

• 2 Double-Sided Game Boards, one for each player configuration!
• 14 Fantasy Races with matching banner & tokens
• 20 Special Power badges
• 10 Troll Lairs, 9 Mountains, 6 Fortresses, 5 Encampments, 2 Holes-in-the-ground & 1 Game Turn Marker
• 2 Heroes & 1 Dragon
• 109 Victory Coins
• 6 Player Summary Sheets
• 1 Reinforcement Die
• 1 Rules Booklet
• 1 Days of Wonder Online Access Number
