About the game
Hey everyone! Ready to spice up your Small World? The 'A Spider's Web' mini-expansion arrives to add that extra flavor we all love. It introduces three new races – the Ice Witches, Skags, and Slingmen – each with their own unique way of conquering the world. To top it off, we have three powers that will shake things up: Copycat, Lava, and Soul-Touch. You know that friend who always picks the strongest race? Now they'll have to think twice! This expansion isn't just about more races and powers. It comes with a super practical plastic storage tray designed to hold the badges and tokens from this expansion, with extra room for those other recent additions. And of course, there are leader tokens for each of the new races. If you enjoy Small World and want more options to make your games even more unpredictable and fun, this one's for you. It's the kind of expansion that adds variety without overcomplicating the rules, maintaining the lighthearted and competitive spirit of the base game. Perfect for those who already own the game and want to refresh their strategies.
