Small World Underground

About this board game

Small World Underground is a standalone fantasy board game for 2–5 players, with a playing time of 90 minutes. It brings the award-winning Small World spirit beneath the surface, where competing creatures struggle to claim valuable subterranean locations.

The game includes 15 fantasy-themed races and 21 special powers. During play, each player spends points to draft different creature-and-power combinations, then uses those forces to conquer regions and establish control across the underground map.

• Draft combinations of creatures and special powers.
• Conquer and control subterranean regions.
• Discover relics and places of power.
• Score points for the regions you hold at the end of each turn.

Some locations offer more than ordinary territory. Relics and designated places of power provide special benefits, but monsters must first be conquered before a player can claim them. This adds extra objectives to the struggle for control and makes the underground landscape especially important.

Players score points at the end of every turn for the regions they hold. When the game ends, the player with the most points wins. Small World Underground can also be combined with other Small World releases, although the publisher recommends becoming familiar with Small World before playing it.
