Days of Wonder has announced a SPIEL 2016 debut for Small World: River World, a new expansion for Philippe Keyaerts' Small World that sets the familiar races squabbling over territories in a new small world. Here's an overview:

Quote:
In Small World: River World, players discover new maps full of water regions haunted by merciless pirates. Players need to defend their precious harbors against them, fight them on the river, and still keep an eye on their opponents! Some regions such as the shipyard or the temple of the seer may help them to have the upper hand, but in River World, there is still not enough room for everybody. And random events that trigger on each turn add to the chaos!

Small World: River World includes two double-sided game boards.
The press release includes this quote from Keyaerts about the expansion: "The maps of River World change the game dynamics. The river allows you to move faster throughout the board, attacking regions that seemed out of reach. These new maps that will force players to re­think their conquest strategies. The events that appear on every turn considerably affect river regions: these can be safe havens as well as deadly traps!"

Small World: River World, which carries a $25/€25 MSRP, will be available in Europe by the end of October 2016 and in the U.S. by the end of November.
