Small World - The Board Game in IOS

Civilizations & Conquests

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

91/100

Small World is a spectacular digital translation of the award-winning board game. The core loop of choosing a race and power combination (like 'Flying Orcs' or 'Heroic Giants') is just as addictive on the iPad as it is on the table. The digital version actually improves the experience by automating the tedious point-scoring and territory tracking that can slow down the physical game.

The tutorial is exceptionally well-done, making a complex strategy game accessible to newcomers in minutes. The humor of the 'whimsical fantasy' world is preserved perfectly, and the AI provides a robust challenge for solo play. With local Wi-Fi and online multiplayer support, it's one of the best strategy games on the platform, offering infinite replayability through its thousands of possible race/power combinations.
