Back when the iPad was first announced, one genre that it seemed people on our forums really wanted to see on the device was board games. A number have developers have answered the call, but one of the most interesting offerings we’ve seen so far is Days of Winder’s Small World. Small World [App Store] is a fantasy-based world conquest game where players take turns playing the included races which cover the gamut of orcs, elves, and more to take over everything.
For more information about the game, you can either check out the overview on the Days of Wonder site or check oug this shockingly articulate kid named Hayden who does a surprisingly good job explaining everything you’d ever want to know about playing the board game in this video:
Small World has some serious board game streed cred’, named Games Magazine’s game of the year and selling close to 60,000 copies worldwide, Small World should be an excellent fit on the iPad. I realize it’s getting cliche to say this game is also on the list of games I’m totally loading on my iPad, but, well, it is.
