Small World
Small World by Philippe Keyaerts from Days of Wonder Publisher reminiscent of the 1999's previous "Vinci" is not only graphically improved, but also offers some more game details than the classics.
14 Fantasy - varieties with different playing features are available to win in the Small World as much land. The "make evident" is strongly influenced by the number of characters of a given species is limited, so its demise is not often to prevent, if it has spread considerably.
The game consists of a variable number of rounds, depending on how many players participate in Small World. The game can be with 2 - 5 people contest, where it is located in 10 (with 2 players) to 8 (5 players) to duel rounds.
At the beginning of the game different obstacles are placed on the board. Thus, besides an already defunct and mountain people, so would the spread of races much more difficult in such regions.
Each player receives 5 pieces of money to purchase a breed with special abilities can be drawn. This includes all races and special abilities are built up in piles next to the board. Then both the upper five races and special abilities are laid out face up next to the board. Depending on the position of these breeds can be purchased.
The individually assigned special abilities in combination with the special property of a character to be interesting and advantageous combinations of lead, which can be used to facilitate the occupation of regions or cash for higher rewards.
For each populated region and evaluated for any additional skills they receive at the end of your campaign money. Who is ultimately the most prosperous, of course, has won the game because 1 coin = 1 point victory.
The alpha and omega in this game is to match the timing between dispersal of its people and its destruction. As the game has relatively few rounds, the number of possible actions is very limited and a wrong decision can mean the defeat already.
Very nicely solved the problem, which occurs in limited areas with different numbers of players. There are different boards for the appropriate number of participants. The game is a graphical highlight that the players right through the Fantasy - leads the world. Every nation has its own characteristics, which fit nicely into the overall picture.
Particularly noteworthy is the simple gameplay and the fixed number of rounds so that the game is quite well suited for families, for a long reading is usually not required. The game quickly developed a momentum and makes you feel like a new game. Also for 2 players is very playable Small World
The first entirely dissuasive price of about 45 € but in retrospect is quite justified, because the game has not only high quality material is very rich, but also a graphic connoisseur. In addition, the packaging is absolutely perfect. All small plates can be stored in a separate container for this purpose.
By the way: how to properly in times of "killer games" and describe the age-old debate about war games, "Territorial Erorberungsspiel" entertaining and family-friendly? In the translated game rules of Small World, this is certainly not quite managed consistently. The contaminated at least in Germany, 'race' could just as well called "characters", and we remember that "conquest" has been renamed the game "Risk" in "Free". After all, "die" No more active (living) people do not, but "go under". We were in any case the "self-take-another-country" a lot of fun, no matter was referred to as.
By the way II: We can not figure out exactly whether SMALL WORLD together as written on the game board. Obviously rather not 
Incidentally III: For the moment runs on the Website of the Days of Wonder announced competition to a global self-invented races and abilities. As the price 200 € purchase money and stay during the GAME 09 in food are awarded.
