So, to up the tension, you can play on a board that is one size too small (4-Person board for 5 players e.g), and suddenly, ''everything'' requires you to fuck over another player. Fun for the whole family!		*'''Tiny World:''' Small World comes with four boards, each made for a set number of players (3 to 6).

To force players to make more strategic decisions, players can only remove all tokens but one from the board; so every conquest has to start from a token on the board (unless of course it's the first turn for that Race, or the Race was wiped off the board previously of course).		*'''Static Empires:''' In the base rules, players are allowed to take up ''all'' of their tokens in the beginning of their turn, meaning they can effectively start your entire everything over every turn with no negative sides.

	Smallworld is a pretty simple and uninteresting game in and of itself - Each player has a number of tiles, which they use to conquer the regions of the map - Two tiles are always needed no matter what, and from there on, extra tiles must be added for each region, according to what defences lie in the region. So, for example, if you want to take a region with two enemy tokens and a ~~mountian~~ in it, you must place three tiles plus two, as a region can only be conquered if you have two more tiles than your opponent. Then you keep doing that, until you lack tiles or feel you got to stop to not spread yourself too thinly, since each conquered region must be held by at least one friendly tile to give points. The system is simple and easy to learn, but there's not a lot of complexity to the game... Fortunately, this is where the races come into the game.

So, for example, if you want to take a region with two enemy tokens and a mountain in it, you must place three tiles plus two, as a region can only be conquered if you have two more tiles than your opponent.

	When you start the game, the players pick five 'race cards'. These cards have an assortment of different Factions on them, such as the typical Humans, Wizards and Orcs, but also Skeletons, Ghouls and fukken Meremen, and at their left side, you place another card, which further defines the Faction. This means that you'll get Pacifist Orcs, Stoic Elves and the ever infamous Beserk Amazons, which will further add to the factions. At the start of the game, you pick the faction in the top of the pile, or give off points to each faction until you find the one you want. This means that you can get many different factions, which will enhance the game to some pretty awesome degrees.		When you start the game, the players pick five 'race cards'.

[[Rape\|They get 4 extra tiles when on a Conquest]]. Nothing, I repeat, ''nothing'' can stop this freight train of doom. If this combo has any weakness, it's that it'll easily wipe out a huge swathe of land in one or two rounds, but after that, there's not a lot to do. The combo cannot make large territories either, since they only have 10 tiles on the defence.		*'''[[Khorne Berzerkers\|Berzerk Amazons:]]''' The legend.
