Small World

In this digital adaptation of a board game, players lead whimsical fantasy races in a world where many civilizations compete for limited land. Your goal is to claim regions and score more points than your rivals over a set number of rounds.

Each turn, send units to conquer territories and balance expansion against defending the land you already hold. The available races and special powers are paired in changing combinations, so your options and tactics vary from match to match.

When a civilization loses momentum, you can send it into decline and take control of a different race, continuing your run with a new set of abilities. The digital game handles scoring and rule enforcement, and offers play against AI as well as local and online multiplayer.

Some players enjoy the approachable strategy, changing race-and-power combinations, and faithful feel of the board game; a few also appreciate having rules and scoring handled automatically or being able to play solo. Other reviews report substantial problems with online play, including broken friend features and disconnects, alongside crashes and usability complaints.
