It's a world of Slaughter after all!Created by Days of Wonder, Small World answers the question, "What would happen if a Euro Game company decided to produce a lighthearted Mythology strategy game?" by throwing just about all the known fantasy races together onto the same world map in a simultaneous bid for survival and conquest — creating an odd genre-blender: a sort of Euro-fantasy-semi-war-game.Small World is, at the same time, more and less reliant on chance than its better-known board game analogue. Dice are downplayed in combat and, instead, the majority of the luck factor lies in generation of playable races. There are two decks: Racial banners and Special Power badges, each adding a power or restriction while in play and modifying the number of troops available to the player. These decks are shuffled and laid out in pairs, and competition often starts with a race to get a particularly synergistic race/power combo first.A unique twist compared to comparable board games is that players occasionally need to put their existing empire into decline: players gain victory points from the territory that both their current emprie and their declined empire control, but the declined empire is limited to one piece per area and cannot continue expanding.Several expansions have been released, adding new Powers and Races, and one that allows for a bigger board and team-based six-players games.There is also Small World: Underground, a sequel which pits other Races with other Powers to control the Underground. It uses the same rules that its predecessor, with a few new rules to spice the game. Underground is playable on its own, but you can combine Small World and Small World: Underground to have an even bigger pool of Powers and Races. A licenced retheme based on World of Warcraft, named Small World of Warcraft also exists. | |

Low-Tier Letdown | |
| Small World (Tabletop Game) / int_2b358a2c | comment |
Low-Tier Letdown: The Dwarves from the base game are well-known for being underpowered. While their power, which is 1 additional point per mine including in decline, is far from uninsteresting, their numbers are pitifully low. This makes actually conquering the usually dispersed mines very difficult, not to mention defending them when in decline, or getting back up from a curbstomp. | |

Glass Cannon | |
| Small World (Tabletop Game) / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Glass Cannon: Pixies - introduced in Be Not Afraid... - come in large numbers but can't leave more than one troop in each of their territories. Amazons gain four extra troops while attacking, which can allow them to cut through enemy territories fairly easily. These extra troops vanish after attacking is done, though, so unchecked expansion can lead to brittle defenses. | |

Geo Effects | |
| Small World (Tabletop Game) / int_35a24c16 | comment |
Geo Effects: Mountains are the only natural terrain that grants a defensive bonus. The Giants' racial ability is a downhill charge, giving them a bonus when attacking into areas adjacent to mountains they control. Several Races or powers grand more points when capturing specific biomes, e.g. Humans with Farmlands, Dwarves with mines, Caverns with the "Underworld" power… The "Mounted" power makes Plains and Farmlands easier to conquer. | |

Magikarp Power | |
| Small World (Tabletop Game) / int_3f0310d6 | comment |
Magikarp Power: The "Cursed" power has absolutely zero benefit, but players must pay 3 coins to pass over it during race selection instead of the usual 1. As the game goes on, it is therefore possible for the Cursed race to come with a very tempting jackpot for the player that finally chooses it. The Homonculi use a similar mechanic, but with troops instead. Passing over them in the race selection queue gives them one additional troop token, making them more powerful the more time they're disregarded. | |

We Are as Mayflies: A preferred strategy for any race with the Stout ability, which lets you decline without dedicating a full turn to it. This makes it possible to pick up a race, spread out, decline, then pick another fresh race the next turn and jump ahead several points in the process. | |

Competitive Balance: The number of troops you get is inversely proportional to how strong a race and their special power are. One race (Ratmen) has no special power, just numbers ; and Races introduced in the expansions have even more troops, balanced by a drawback. | |

| Small World (Tabletop Game) / int_ae853f28 | comment |
Parody: The cartoony artwork of prancing Elves, carousing Dwarves, brutish Trolls and the like should be a hint that this game encourages having a laugh at the expense of a few stock fantasy tropes. | |

Curse | |
| Small World (Tabletop Game) / int_c2e295cd | comment |
Curse: The Cursed power screws over everyone, whether you choose it (it's the only power that doesn't have a troop bonus) or not (by paying 3 victory points to pass it on the queue instead of the usual 1). Cursed with Awesome: At least someone can get a decent number of points out of it if it's been on the stack for a while. Gypsy Curse: Possible with Cursed Gypsies, though it's no more thematic than if used with any other race. | |

Scoring Points | |
| Small World (Tabletop Game) / int_c64bdacd | comment |
Scoring Points: One of the things that sets this game and most other strategy games apart; Victory in Small World is determined by who can score the most in the allotted number of turns. Although many versions of Risk do now play for points within a turn limit. | |

Variable Player Goals | |
| Small World (Tabletop Game) / int_c9b7f3e | comment |
Variable Player Goals: All players are trying to get the most victory points, but the variety of possible race/power combos keeps any single spot on the map from being universally desirable over another. Some players may even actively try to conquer fewer territories based on the bonuses their abilities give. The Necromancer in the Necromancer Island expansion has outright alternate rules, achieving victory when all his Ghost tokens enter play. | |

Guest Fighter: The A Spider's Web expansion adds the Skags from Borderlands as a race, with their power being the ability to place loot tokens in the regions they conquer, which are then revealed to either be conquest-cancelling traps or a number of coins when that region is conquered or the Skags go into decline. Thankfully, there's only one dragon token, and it gets removed and replaced every round. | |

Only Mostly Dead | |
| Small World (Tabletop Game) / int_dd5faec5 | comment |
Only Mostly Dead: You can use a turn to put your current race into decline, minimizing their presence on the map and making them unable to act but still netting you victory points in addition to any you'd gain from your new, active combo. Done either way after a couple of turns, when you can't gain anything more with your current race, or sooner if there is a desirable combo on the table. Not Quite Dead: Ghouls maintain their numbers and can continue attacking after going into decline. | |

Take Over the World | |
| Small World (Tabletop Game) / int_ec0bf4a1 | comment |
Take Over the World: Averted. This is another difference between Small World and other strategy games. It's actually impossible for any single race to occupy every space on the map due to limited numbers. It might be possible for a single player to control the entire map between active and declined races, but it would take either the full cooperation of every player or a ridiculous amount of luck. | |

Why Won't You Die?: When a region occupied by a player is conquered, one defending troop is killed (removed from the game) and the rest are salvaged; Elves and Immortal races have the ability to salvage all of their defenders instead. | |

Self-Destructive Charge | |
| Small World (Tabletop Game) / int_f110c25 | comment |
Self-Destructive Charge: Actually a viable tactic on the last turn, since points are collected at the end of each player's turn and can't be taken away through loss of territory. Can be the Amazon's Achilles' heel. They get more troops for attacking and can thus tear through enemy defences, but said troops are removed from the board game at the end of the conquest phase. Being to greedy with you conquests can leave you open for horrible punishment. | |

Department of Redundancy Department | |
| Small World (Tabletop Game) / int_fc151e9d | comment |
Department of Redundancy Department: Several Races's unique ability also exists as a special powers, and it is not uncommon to get both. You'd think Tritons would be able to capture sea areas on their own, but (just like any other race) they need to be Seafaring Tritons in order to do that. Orcs get more points by attacking occupied region, likely because they pillage it. Pillaging Orcs get even more points by doing twice as much pillaging ! "Bivouacking" and "Fortified" add a defensive bonus. Amazons have an offensive troops bonus, and Trolls have a huge defence bonus. The Halflings' power makes two of their regions impossible to attack. "Dragon-Master" and "Heroic" do exactly the same, except the tokens can be repositioned, and the Dragon can be used in offense at the cost of there only being one. "Horde" in the Be not afraid! expansion adds troops tokens, which pushes the Ratmen, Barbarians, Homonculi, Pygmies and Pixies' typical advantage even further. In Underground: Muddy Mudmen. | |
