And in this tiny world there are 14 different fantasy races, including dwarves, wizards, giants, and orcs! Each player gets to pick a fantasy race as well as a special power, such as Heroic, Berserk, or Alchemist. With a good combination and a bit of luck, players conquer a whole bunch of regions on the board and amass victory coins!\r\n\r\nSince the world is soooooo small, each player\u2019s civilization will reach a point where it just cannot go any further. There\u2019s no more room! At that point, a player will put that particular civilization in decline, but don\u2019t worry! That\u2019s not the end of the game! Players then get to choose a new fantasy race and super power combo and keep going! The player with the most victory coins when all the turns are over is the winner!\r\n

From the publisher:<\/h3>\r\n
Small World\u2122 is a fun, 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!<\/em>\r\n\r\nPicking the right combination of fantasy races and unique special powers, players must rush to expand their empires – often at the expense of their weaker neighbors.<\/em>\r\n\r\nYet they must also know when to push their own over-extended civilization into decline to ride a new one to victory.<\/em>\r\n
