About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to expand the fun chaos of Small World with Cursed!, an expansion that brings more races and wacky powers to your board. If you already enjoy the vibe of conquering territories and watching your empire fall to start anew with glory, this one's for you! Cursed! adds Kobolds and Goblins, each with their unique way of messing things up. Plus, there are five new special powers that will make things even more unpredictable: Cursed, Hordes of, Marauding, Ransacking, and Were-. The beauty of this pack is that it originated from a design contest, so these are ideas the community itself came up with to make Small World even more interesting. Remember, this is an expansion, so you need the base Small World game to play. It's like adding extra spice to that pizza you already love: it intensifies everything and makes the experience even tastier. With more race and power options, each game becomes a new adventure, full of twists and guaranteed laughs. Grab your friends, get your dice ready, and may the cleverest goblin (or the luckiest Kobold!) win!
