This Fall will definitely be placed under the sign of Small World!
A brand new Small World expansion – A Spider’s Web; along with an expansion previously only available as part of the Small World 2 Kickstarter campaign – Royal Bonus; will debut at the Essen Fair in October and will hit retail stores in November. At the same time, both The Necromancer Island and Leaders expansions, which have been out of print for years will also be available through game stores.
A Spider’s Web features entries from Andrew Capel, Alex and Bill Gurski, and Randy Pitchford, “Spiderine” backers from the Small World 2 Kickstarter campaign. It contains 3 new Races: Ice Witches, Skags and Slingmen; as well as 3 new Special Power badges: Copycat, Lava and Soul-Touch. This expansion comes complete with a plastic storage tray designed to store all the badges and tokens from A Spider’s Web, plus it includes room for all the additional recent Small World expansions. Retail Price is $15/€14.
The Royal Bonus expansion was previously available only to backers of the Small World 2 digital version of the game. It includes 3 new Race banners and tokens (Fauns, Igors & Shrubmen) and 3 new Special Power badges (Fireball, Aquatic & Behemoth). Retail Price is $12/€10.
Small World fans get another treat as Necromancer Island and Leaders, two additional micro-expansions for Small World that have been long out of print will be reprinted and available in November from retailers and from the Days of Wonder webstore for $6/€5.
Please hang on to a copy of Royal & Spider for me until the Saturday!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me that this also includes tokens for Leaders for those three new races? Pretty please!? I love Leaders expansion!
Hello!
Aernout, we’ll do our possible to serve as many people as possible of course… Too early to be able to guarantee anything though…
Kristo, the Leaders from The Royal Bonus are already in the Leaders expansion. As far as the races from A Spider’s Web are concerned, they are included in the box.
For those of you who own the first print run of the Leaders, you are covered with the Crown Tokens anyway…
Will Royal Bonus extension be available in French?
The new Spiders extension is for the classic Small World or for the Underground?
They look like Classic Small World, but of course you can play them with either version. Also, this was from a kickstarter dedicated to the classic game; there was never any mention of Underground in any of the kickstarter information
Will the Spider’s Web expansion be part of the producers edition that isn’t released yet?
Are the Royal Bonus and Leaders being released as limited-run things? Or can I expect my flgs to eventually get them in stock?
Nyall, they are not limited edition so will be at your retail store in November.
Will these be available for preorder??
Yes, probably in October.
Fantastic! Do you know yet if all these expansions will be availiable in Spanish?
Thanks!
There were 6 spiderine designs… will the 3 others be in a future expansion? If not, is it possible to know what they were?
will the royal bonus and spider expansion be available for regular purchase in small world 2?
Will these expansions be available as online expansions for the smallworld online game? Also, will smallworld underground be available online soon?
