The Return of Small World Fantasy Sports

Before DraftKings and FanDuel, there was Small World — a fantasy sports game so addictive that players checked their rosters before breakfast and after dinner. Launched in 1994, sold to The Sporting News in 2001, and eventually shut down a few years later, it became the stuff of legend among fantasy veterans.

Anyone who played Small World will tell you how much fun it was. Unlike most fantasy sites today, where you draft once and check in occasionally, Small World’s stock market–like setup kept you constantly engaged. Prices moved. Players fluctuated. Every day felt like a new challenge.

The magic of the game came from balancing trade strategy, boosting your team’s value, and chasing points. With new trades available every week and access to every player in the league, the combinations were endless. You had to decide when to conserve trades and when to strike — every move mattered, and the decisions never stopped coming.

Small World ran on the best fantasy format ever created. For more than 15 years, that experience was gone — until now. Salary Cap Sports has brought it back to life, rebuilt for today’s fans but with the same addictive strategy and thrill that made Small World unforgettable.
