# What Happens If The Sorcerers Run Out of Tokens?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2012-08-20)

In a game of Small World we were playing recently, we were facing Seafaring Sorcerers in a 5-player game, and they managed to expand *very* well, to the point where they were rapidly converting over most of the map. At one point, the player ran out of tokens to play.

**What Happens in This Case?**

Does their expansion halt completely? And if a sorcerer is killed, can they then re-use that token for conversion?
