"Beautiful game, beautiful gameplay"
5 stars"

Perhaps the best modern abstract game, that doesn't look like an abstract game while you're playing it, and masses of re-playability with all the special powers!

"Simple to learn, heaps of replayability"

Simple concept. Even has an easy and advanced mode. Both are great to play, easy to learn, tougher to master but heaps of fun.

Description

Santorini is a highly accessible pure strategy game that is simple enough for an elementary school classroom. But with enough gameplay depth and content for even hardcore gamers to explore, Santorini is truly a game for everyone. The rules are deceptively simple.

Each turn consists of 2 steps:

  • 1. Move – move one of your builders into a neighboring space. You may move your Builder Pawn on the same level, step-up one level, or step down any number of levels.
  • 2. Build – Then construct a building level adjacent to the builder you moved. When building on top of the third level, place a dome instead, removing that space from play.

Winning the game – If either of your builders reaches the third level, you win.\

What makes Santorini truly special is its seamless integration of variable player powers into a pure-strategy game. Dr Hamilton has designed over 40 thematic god and hero powers, each fundamentally changing the way the game is played.
