Description

--- **TLDR** Small World of Warcraft is a competitive area-control game where players conquer Azeroth with race/power combos, managing decline and scoring coins via territory occupation (24 words). Key mechanics include: - *Race/power combinations* Players select from 16 Warcraft races (Orcs, Dwarves, Trolls, Worgen, etc.) and 20 powers, randomly paired each game (e.g., Portal Mage Pandarens, Herbalist Goblins). - *Territory occupation* Use race tiles to claim adjacent territories, defeating weaker enemy races. - *Decline mechanic* Overextend and flip active race tiles to black-and-white decline side, then choose a new combo. - *Scoring system* Earn 1 coin per occupied territory (active or decline) at turn end; special abilities and terrains modify totals. - *Strategic elements* Control legendary terrains and artifacts; maintain one active and one decline race simultaneously. - *Victory condition* Most coins after final round wins. Small World of Warcraft is a strategic board game set in Azeroth, pitting Alliance and Horde races in a clash for dominance in an overcrowded world. Players each turn either expand their current fantasy race/power combo by occupying adjacent territories and defeating weaker foes or abandon it for decline—flipping tiles to show black-and-white status—to select a fresh pairing from randomly shuffled options. Leveraging special abilities, players seize legendary terrains and artifacts to boost control, scoring coins proportional to territories held (influenced by race powers and locations) at turn's end, with one active and one declined race allowed simultaneously. Empires inevitably decline, demanding tactical shifts to sustain conquest until the final round, when the richest player claims victory. ---
