Santorini - a great strategy and family board game
Santorini - a great strategy and family board game
Santorini is an accessible strategy game, simple enough for older kids while aiming to provide gameplay depth and content for hardcore gamers to explore.
Although this is a 2-4 player game Santorini is one of the best two-player board games.
Each turn consists of 2 steps:
1. Move - move one of your builders into a neighbouring 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.
Variable player powers - Santorini features variable player powers layered over an otherwise abstract game, with 40 thematic god and hero powers that fundamentally change the way the game is played.
Note ocean base board shown in the photo are not included in this edition.
