SMALL WORLD STRATEGY
The game resumes with each player possessing a random special power paired along with a race. This allows the player to utilize the power, in addition to special powers already allotted to each race, while planning a giant move. The combination of powers and races differ with each game thus rendering an entirely different experience to any randomly played game. Players are left curious, while guessing to try out new combinations of powers and race.
A certain number of tokens are allotted to each player at the start of the game. With these, a player tries conquering as many regions allowed by the tokens. The victory points that are scored with the number of regions controlled by the player are totaled at the end of every turn. The victory is not determined with the number of regions owned by the player but instead on the number of regions that are controlled by the player at the end of the turn. Special victory points are scored by a player if they manage a consistent number of controlled regions throughout the game.
During the game if any player runs out of tokens, that player has to build up on a new race while choosing a different combination of power, to pair along with the newly acquired race. The old race owned by the players runs into decline and is no longer powerful enough to be used to conquer over other regions, though the region controlled by the old race still gets counted with the overall victory points.
The player with the most number of victory points, at the end of the game, is declared as the winner.
The fantasy based game of 'Small World' is overtly fun to play. The game is simple and straightforward and requires as little strategy in order to win the game. Word of caution; 'After a numerous play the game gets quite addictive.'
