For the past 6 months, we've been hard at work on the next digital version: Small World 2.5. We've added a new "Online Arena" with a live lobby, a list of open games, and full chat capability; support for single-session games, with a new Player Clock for competitive game play; a new Stats screen at game end; improved AI and much more. Before this new version launches, we want to make sure we got it right, and that it really scales up, so we would like to get as many concurrent players as we can competing against each other in the coming days. So please come and try it! In your Steam Library, select the game's Steam "Properties", go to the "BETAS" tab and switch to the "[b]beta_version[/b]" item. Make sure you read the explanations on http://www.daysofwonder.com/msg/?th=29279 about the Beta Program. Using the Beta requires that you agree with the terms described in the Beta Program. We look forward to hearing from you, have fun with the Beta!
