In Small World, it's all about the rise and fall of empires. With a self-chosen combination of fantasy races and special abilities, you strive to build an empire, sometimes at the expense of weaker neighbors. In Small World, dwarves, wizards, amazons, giants, orcs, and even humans populate the game board. Players compete for space in a world that is simply too small, as the available land is not enough for everyone. Recognizing the right moment to let your own empire fall and lead another to new strength is the key to success in Small World. Not only fans of the award-winning Vinci will appreciate the evolution brought by Philippe Keyaerts.
