Description

"Small World: Tales & Legends" is an expansion adding unpredictable events to reshape gameplay turns with dramatic consequences. Key mechanics include: - *Event cards* 54 new cards that alter the storyline each turn, ranging from minor to cataclysmic effects. - *Turn activation* A new event drawn and played at the start of each turn (except the first). - *Upcoming preview* The next event is visible, allowing players to anticipate future changes. - *Narrative integration* Events enable rewriting history, with flavorful scenarios like drinking the Philter of Forgetfulness, catapult launches, or seducing the White Queen. Small World: Tales & Legends is an expansion for Small World, crafted by Laurent Verrier (Special Prize Winner of the Small World Design Contest) with development assistance from original author Philippe Keyaerts. It introduces 54 Event cards that dynamically change the storyline and impact of each turn, offering effects from subtle shifts to near-cataclysmic disruptions. At the start of every turn after the first, a new Event card is drawn into play, while the Upcoming Event remains visible for strategic foresight. This mechanism empowers veteran players to re-write history through immersive, fantastical events such as consuming the Philter of Forgetfulness, being flung from the Great Catapult, or seducing the White Queen.
