The game arrived with extra dice?


My copy did at least. One red and one blue die. But in a branded bag, so some sort of official I assume.

A quick scan of twitter seems to indicate that the red and blue dice were some sort of pre-order incentive/bonus for the hobby market.

Thread: Small World: Sky Islands:: General:: sky island +1 gold bonus per island a bit overpowerd

so after playing a bunch with the sky islands, and seeing how this new expansion felt, instantly it mostly came down to who could hold the sky islands the longest, and especially with a 3 player game basically one person would dominate the ground and another the sky islands, and the third person would try to fight both which is kind of impossible. almost always the player controlling the sky islands the longest won the most, as the bonus coin for the sky islands quickly got out of hand with and extra 2 or 3 per turn even in decline. not to mention that it is incredibly easy to hold the sky island with so few entrances.
i am not sure since i have not tested this enough, but has anyone else also had this scenario occur, where people would always pick the most aggressive races and play king of the hill over the sky islands unless the ground was completely untouched.

that said the scarecrows and slugs are in my opinion superior to all the other aggressive races, i would never pick the amazons, ratmen, barbarians or fairies over them.
in order to counter this i adjusted the rules to make sure their penalty power remained present during their in decline phase.

im not saying im not satisfied or disappointed, i only played with the barbarian power pack, and sky island introduced some races that seemed almost an auto pick and some powers that i would never choose (mining and racketeering).

Just picked up my copy and on the side I got the extra bag with the two dices. According to my local game shop it was for those who pre-ordered.

Zee in the latest Dice Tower was not impressed by the 2 player Alliance vs Horde mode. Would be interesting to see why and whether any tweaks can be done to improve. Sounded like removing all Neutrals played a part.

He also said that his general appreciation of SW had waned over the years. Personally, I am most excited for the AvH aspect, but I agree with him that this should have come out years ago.

Many games covered this episode. My question going into this episode was, will Small World of Warcraft finally make me like a Small World game?

Amazon has release date late sept, is that just a place holder or is it intentionally later online so local stores have some type of advantage ?

So I've never played any Small World before but does that mean I can grab Naga early, go into the lake and they will keep generating me points unless someone else grabs this race? Seems kinda strong.

Note only I think about 3 lakes, so that's only 3 points. You never want to be a race generating just 3 points!

Also, I still think all the abilities I listed above do let you conquer lakes not as Naga as I haven't received an explanation.

I agree. Always played this way with original game. Don’t see why it would be different here.

Release date was announced at GenCon as September 4th, I preordered online from Asmodee/DoW, just got my shipment notification... arriving September 6th. Surprised I'm getting an online pre-order after my FLGS will have it. lol. If it weren't for having to bike a few miles in NYC I'd just go get it myself 😛
