Small World 2 has become one of the most popular board game apps in the App Store, and with good reason. However, that left Android and PC users unable to play it digitally. That’s changing today though, because it is being released for the Android operating system and on Steam.
Small World 2, the digital followup to the bestselling Days of Wonder digital fantasy board game, is officially expanding from iPad to Steam and Android platforms. The Small World franchise has been breaking new ground since it launched in 2010 as the very first board game for Apple’s iPad. Today, Days of Wonder continues to carve new paths as the first digital board game to allow players to challenge friends to a realtime game across iPad, Android tablets (including Amazon’s Kindle Fire), and PC’s via both Steam and Days of Wonder Online.
To date, the Small World franchise has sold more than 750,000 copies worldwide across its physical and digital versions, with thousands more games played online every day. Players can even start a game on one platform, and continue on another.
“Just like we feel it’s important to offer gamers a chance to play great games in both physical and digital forms, we feel strongly that Small World should be playable on PC’s and Mobile devices, not just one or the other.” said Eric Hautemont, CEO of Days of Wonder.
If you enjoy Risk or other area-control games, then be sure to check out the Small World 2 app. I find it to be a fast game with a lot of replayability due to the different races and special abilities. The Small World 2 app also includes the Dames, Cursed!, and Be Not Afraid expansions as in-app purchases, and if one person playing has purchased them, then they are available for that game. Being able to play against others on different platforms is great as well, which should give you plenty of opponents to play against online. If you don’t have an iPad, then go to Steam or your Android tablet and take a look at what you have been missing.
While not working as a Database Administrator, Keith Schleicher has been associated with Gaming Trend since 2003. While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV.
