About this expansion
Small World: River World is an expansion for 2–5 players with an 80-minute play time, introducing four water-filled maps haunted by merciless pirates.
Players must defend their precious harbors, fight pirates on the river, and keep a watchful eye on their opponents. With limited room for everyone, each map creates pressure as players compete across regions shaped by water.
Some regions can help turn the struggle in your favor. The shipyard and the temple of the seer are among the locations that may give players an advantage, while random events trigger on every turn to add further chaos to the game.
- Two double-sided game boards provide four maps in total.
- Each map is designed for one of the four possible player configurations.
- Players contend with pirates, river battles, harbors, special regions, and turn-by-turn random events.
Small World: River World requires components from Small World to play: race banners, special power badges, markers, victory coins, and the reinforcement die. The publisher recommends removing the Flying special power before using this expansion.
With shifting events, contested waterways, and opponents demanding constant attention, River World offers a distinct setting for Small World battles. The expansion’s four maps give groups different configurations to explore while preserving the crowded conflict that defines the setting.
