The end of the game has already been said a lot, because I will now not stay long. In short, everyone chooses his race and so populated the world. If you have used the exhausted from his race is allowed to go under it and dials again. The nice thing about this game, you can have to damage the other but not necessarily. The game is played in rounds and each round consists of phases. At the end of the game after the last round and won the one who has the most victory points.
The rules (phases) are very easy and quick to understand, but it takes some patience to read, to know the individual races and abilities, and use white. There are very detailed overview maps, which therefore also are very large.
I think it's super that can really play with any number of players Super game and that it also will not get bored, as always compose new races and abilities.
The material is one of the finest I've seen and played lately. Therefore, probably the high price. The pictures are selected and Super everything running very stable. Also great, I find that each plate has its fixed place in the box.
Everyone who does not know the game, should be easy times read instructions, then you already know whether you like it or not. But basically I think if you, for example, likes to play settlers or Carcassonne you will also like Smallworld. And it is also a wonderful two-person game.
