About this expansion
Small World: Tales and Legends is a 2010 expansion for 2–5 players that adds changing events to an approximately 80-minute game of Small World.
With 54 new Event cards, the storyline of each turn can unfold in surprising ways. Some events have only minor consequences, while others can be nearly cataclysmic in their impact, giving each game a changing rhythm and fresh uncertainty.
At the start of each turn, except the first, a new event card is drawn and put into play. The following event is also visible as the Upcoming Event, allowing players to see what will face them on the next turn.
- 54 new Event cards
- A new event begins each turn after the first
- The next Upcoming Event remains visible
- Designed for 2–5 players
The events invite players to imagine a history filled with dramatic twists. You might drink the Philter of Forgetfulness, be flung from the Great Catapult, or even have the chance to seduce the White Queen.
Created by Laurent Verrier, Special Prize Winner of the Small World Design Contest, the expansion also benefited from additional development assistance by Philippe Keyaerts, the original game’s author. Small World: Tales and Legends gives experienced players a new way to rewrite the story of every session.
