Description Edit | History

In Small World, players vie for conquest and control of a world that is simply too small to accommodate them all.

Designed by Philippe Keyaerts as a fantasy follow-up to his award-winning Vinci, Small World is inhabited by a zany cast of characters such as dwarves, wizards, amazons, giants, orcs, and even humans, who use their troops to occupy territory and conquer adjacent lands in order to push the other races off the face of the earth.

Picking the right combination from the 14 different fantasy races and 20 unique special powers, players 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!

  • Vinci (released in 1999)

5 Small World Tray Sticker Sheet With Black Borders
There are a number of files already uploaded with the goal of making it easy to tell where the pieces for Small World are located in the tray.

Simply load the file in the PDF, turn off resizing, and...
