Just a heads up for those of you with this game - The new expansion 'Be Not Afraid' is about to be released along with a limited edition expansion 'Necromancer Island'.

What's a Limited Edition Expansion?

er... exactly what it says... An expansion that's a limited edition. What else did you think then?  :Smiley

OK, I got them earlier in the week.  My opening pictures and first look commentary is at:

Be Not Afraid
Necromancer's Island

There's also the first look/opening of Tales and Legends as well:

Tales and Legends.  This one has Carc:Bridges, Castles and Bazaars as well.

Was out Black Friday shopping today and I nabbed Small World at Borders for $25!!! Win! It retails for $50 but for the weekend, Borders has a 50% off coupon that works on ANY one item in the store, including Small World, Forbidden Island, Reiner Knizia's Black Sheep, The Game of Thrones, Catan: Seafarers, Settlers of Catan 5-6 Player Extension, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride (USA), the new RISK, and a few others I can't remember. If you live in the US, grab a Borders ad from Thursday's newspaper, and run to your Borders by Sunday to grab a EuroGame at 50% OFF retail!

Edit: I also got a Leaders of Small World expansion last week from BGG before they ran out. Double win!

So I guess that means you now understand the meaning of a limited edition expansion then?  Grin

lol. Actually, I also nabbed a copy of Necromancer Island at my local game store. And when I went there a week later, they still had all their copies of it, so I nabbed a second to sell next Christmas. I understand the meaning of limited edition, I just often don't take advantage of it until it's too late.

Finally got hold of Be Not Affraid and with a copy of Necromancer Island, and whilst I was at it completed the set with Tales and Legends. Guess I better play it now.  Grin

Anybody play a 2-player round of this?  Is it fun and playable with two people?

It's a bit boring with 2 players.  Having said that, playing vs the computer on an iPad is a great way to kill time...

I do not think I would enjoy this two player. Think the game needs player interaction to hit its stride.

Thanks for the replies guys!

For reference, do either of you enjoy a two player game of Dominion?

Sorry for the late reply. I play Smallworld and Dominion two player quite frequently. I just picked up Cursed! and Grand Dames of... for Smallworld. I always play with Seaside and Intrigue for Dominion. Dominion plays just fine two player, in my opinion. Sure it doesn't have as high a level of conflict, but it is quite enjoyable. Smallworld plays just fine too. My only noteworthy comment about it is that I find myself abandoning races much more frequently in two player games. Last time I played, I think I switched to a fifth race on the second-to-last turn, just to nab some easy territories.

Thanks for the replies guys.  I may go ahead and give Small World a chance then. 

We play every Friday night.  However, I only have one guarenteed person to come over.  ANother friend has finally been moved to first shift so he gets to come now too so we are usually good with three.  However, I like to make sure all the games I buy can be played with two players so if it is just two of us we can still have fun. 

Thanks again!  I appreciate the feedback.
