That's not that bad. What really annoys me is the fact that I need to carry two extra trays that don't fit in the game box (I own all of the races expansions).
And even then you can't fit all of the power tokens into the boxes.

This might have worked if I'd kept the main inset and just carried two additional boxes. That you can't fit the two trays side by side in the box is a huge fail.

Sorry, vent over.

When you go into decline your special power is discarded. I thought that you were to get the amount equal to the amount on soul-touch combined with your race and then soul-touch is discarded.
No, it isn't. Otherwise you couldn't keep the sea and the lake while in decline with seafaring.

There must be some benefit to the player then. Reviving your previous in decline race is only of benefit if that race/power combo was demonstrably better than any of the 6 currently available (plus whatever coins are on the current 6). And in fact, is so much better that reusing them makes up for playing the Soul Touched race without a power.


While I think you are right about the "immediately" meaning the old race gets an initial conquest on the turn Soul Touch goes into decline, even under the other ruling there would be a small benefit of not having only a single race on the board for the declining turn. Admittedly this is very small, but it is not 0.

IMO, the argument given here that no Leader token is necessary for the Necromancer "because he is played differently" is poorly thought out. In fact, a token for the Ghosts would be a HUGE asset for the Necromancer, who normally has to pay quite a price for each Ghost token he summons to the board. The Leader would cost him only $1 (or $0 under the revised 2nd edition rules)!!! While I don't remember offhand if there is a token for the Ghosts in the 2nd edition Leaders set, you could as always use one of the generic "crown" leader tokens for the Ghosts if your table allows it.

All other Small World races have leaders except for those unique to Underground.

Correction: The 1st edition of Leaders did not include tokens for races unique to Underground (since Underground had not been published yet). The 2nd edition (made in conjunction with the "Small World 2" Kickstarter) does include tokens for both Small World AND Underground.

I forgot Leaders 2.0 came with Underground tokens. I don't have Underground so I must have stored the spare tokens elsewhere. I just checked and Necromancer ghosts are not included in 2.0. I thought Necromancer doesn't earn or score points. Isn't the whole point that they win by defeating everybody else or something. Clearly it's been a while since I used the expansion last. I'm still waiting for it to be added to the iPad app (fingers crossed!).

Honestly, just look at the other "Expansion" related threads in the forum. We've been over this about 100 times already. This is easily the most frequently asked question in the SW forums. So you could have easily found the information you seek without having created another redundant post.

EDIT:

Realms needs both the base game and Underground to be useful.

This is NOT true. Only 2 of the 12 scenarios in Realms even include Underground. (Although, it's true you can flip any scenario onto its back to play Underground.) This whole discussion is also very well documented in the forums.

Actually Realms was designed to be exactly that easy. That's the whole point of the tiles being 2-sided; it expands both games.

...I noticed that the Underground side of the tiles didn't have the corresponding Terrain Types on the other side.
For example:
Tile X has Water/Hill on one side and Water/Crystals on the other.
Tile Y has Water/Farmland on one side and Water/Mining on the other.
Tile Z has Water/Hill on one side and Water/Mining on the other.

If you're not playing with the original Small World why would this matter? The water is in the same place, and the types & number of each type are equally balanced among the tiles used. So you'll have mudpits where farmland was--who cares? You're not playing with Humans.

EDIT:
And if you're looking for a way to play with 6, just put your 2-player board together with your 4-player board--either physically touching or use Tunnels to connect them. You may need more mountains or Monster tiles though...

Porcupines (6): "When the enemy conquers one of your regions, they also discard one of their tokens back into the storage tray."

Something similar to this has already been done by DOW--the Skags, from the Spider's Web expansion. And honestly, dying every time I attack you (while you have a base token count of 6) would be WAY overpowered. More powerful by far than the Corrupt power even.

I think this "conquest with risk of loss" concept was implemented more interestingly (if more fiddly) with the Skags. But they are far from being my favorite race to play with, especially since this core idea has been proposed at least a dozen times previously by various fans in the forums, both here & at DOW.

Another power I just thought of:

Vanishing
• 5
• At the end of your turn (before scoring), roll the reinforcement die and remove that many of your race tokens from the board. Collect 2 bonus coins for each token removed in this way.
• This power persists while in decline, except a maximum of 1 race token can be removed in this way each turn.

There is already a power called "Vanishing" in the Underground base game. In your case, I don't like that there's no choice for the player who has this power. There's no "when to use / when not to use" dilemma that calls for an exercise of tactical thinking.
Verdict: Needs more thought and a new name.

I have the PDF in front of me and I count 4 scenarios that require Underground, not counting the one with 3 versions.

Problem now is that the game appears daunting given all the expansion and no one ever playing the game.

Every new person I bring into SmallWorld I always have to give them a disclaimer to not look at my side of the table as I'm always the 'banker' in terms of handing out chits. Most games will only use ~50% chits anyhow.

Then again, I can't imagine buying an expansion without playing the game first [unless I get it together or in a trade]
