Well played it last night for the first time. A four player game and it was great fun. Easy to follow rules and a well printed map and pieces. The way the game handles will allow for many variations so difficult to see it getting stale too quickly.

Thanks for the info and the the follow-up.  I got an email from DOW promo'ing this game and it looks interesting, unfortunately it will have to go onto my Christmas wish list, since my dicretionary fund$ are currently depleted.

Don't mean to be a wet blanket, but this game did not live up to the pre-release hype that it got. No, it is not a bad game. I would play it again, but I don't think I will buy it.

I just got my copy.  I'll probably do an unboxing over the weekend.  BTW, does anyone know what the BGG thing is all about?

There seems to be some sort of Boardgamegeek exclusive or something or the other.  I don't have any info, so I was asking if anyone knew what it was about...

There's a mini expansion that's only available through the BGG store. $5, including shipping to anywhere in the world. BGG Link

Played a couple of three player games of this over the past couple of weeks. A friend at work bought it. Absolutely brilliant! I shall be making a opurchase very soon. It scores on just about every front.... Simple rules, can have very strategic gameplay, different board depending on number of players, no game is ever the same, expandable, and absolutely gorgeous to look at it plus very well made and presented. Top marks.

Have now played several games - 3, 4 and 5 player and it gets better every time.

Regards the BGG expansion - 'Leaders of Small World'. It's a bit on the pricey side... you only get a card of pop-out tokens for the money. Unlike the BGG Dominion cards exclusive which was a real bargain. That said, the set is popping up on ebay for upwards of £10.00 stirling plus p&p so could end up being the 'Cathars' set of the game!

This reminds me that I am quite overdue in getting this game to the table. Thanks.
Fun, light, and very re-playable.

I've now bought my own copy of Small Worl. Also bought the the two main expansions; Cursed and Grand Dames. Decided against the the Tales.. card set for now. And I take back the coment I made regards the Leaders of Small World BGG expansion being expensive... the guy at the shopadded it to my purchase for Free! Result!!

I've just spent the morning un-boxing (as you guys like to call it) and popping out hundreds of pieces.

We have friends staying with us for the week so I can see a few rounds of it being played.

This won't be of much help to many of you, but if your ever in the West Country (Of UK) then a visit to Clifton Road Games in Exeter is an absolute must. Only discovered them yesterday. What a terrific shop.

Also finally picked up a copy of Cult, Seige and Creativity.
