WIL WHEATON: When most people
think of a small world, they
00:00:04
think of being on a boat
surrounded by creepy dolls who
00:00:07
won't stop singing.
00:00:09
But when gamers think of a Small
World, they imagine a
00:00:13
fantasy-filled land full of
crazy races with outrageous
00:00:17
powers, where the world is
covered in blood as we battle
00:00:21
to see who can take it over
and win the game.
00:00:25
Today on TableTop, Grant
Imahara, Sean Plott, and Jenna
00:00:29
Busch are here as we visit my
very favorite Small World.
00:00:53
WIL WHEATON: Small World
combines the military strategy
00:00:56
of Risk with the delightful
art and fantasy races of
00:00:59
Cosmic Encounter.
00:01:01
Whoever has the most points
at the end of nine
00:01:04
rounds wins the game.
00:01:06
We earn points by conquering
and holding territories.
00:01:11
Empty territories cost
two units to conquer.
00:01:15
Every item in a territory
costs one
00:01:19
more unit to conquer.
00:01:21
For example, one defender,
that's three units.
00:01:26
One mountain, that's
also three units.
00:01:29
A mountain plus a defender,
that's four units.
00:01:34
At the beginning of every game,
each player will choose
00:01:37
a fantasy race, like orcs,
elves, or the dwarves.
00:01:42
Each race is combined with a
unique special power, like
00:01:46
seafaring, flying, or heroic.
00:01:48
These power and race
combinations change every
00:01:51
game, giving Small World
tremendous replay value.
00:01:55
No empire lasts forever, so
don't get too attached to your
00:01:59
diplomatic skeletons.
00:02:01
You will inevitably run out
of units to conquer new
00:02:05
But don't worry.
00:02:06
When that happens, you simply
put your active race into
00:02:09
decline and choose a new one
from the board and begin
00:02:14
conquering all over again.
00:02:17
It's a very small world, and
only one person can be the
00:02:21
victor atop the bloody,
stinking heap of his
00:02:24
vanquished opponents.
00:02:26
Who will that be tonight?
00:02:28
We will soon find out,
because it is time
00:02:31
to play Small World.
00:02:36
GRANT IMAHARA: My name is Grant
Imahara, and I'm one of
00:02:38
the hosts on Discovery Channel's
MythBusters, where
00:02:41
we basically blow things up
in the name of science.
00:02:45
JENNA BUSCH: I'm Jenna Busch,
and I am an online blogger.
00:02:48
I do on-camera interviews.
00:02:49
I interview celebrities and
cover comic books, video
00:02:51
games, TV, and film.
00:02:53
SEAN PLOTT: My real name
is Sean Plott.
