As far as we can tell, you can’t die in Small Worlds. You just sort of wander around a bit.
But, Jesus on a skateboard, is it ever fun. Small Worlds is essentially an exploration game, where every step you take shows you more and more of your surroundings. It’s not an urgent game by any means, but play it for a while and you might just be pleasantly surprised. It’s won awards, you know. That counts for something, right?
