Game Description

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Santorini, a board game masterpiece that combines the elegance of an abstract game with the vibrancy of a mythological theme. This re-imagining of the 2004 edition offers an experience of accessible strategy, perfect for players of all ages, while guaranteeing remarkable game depth that will captivate even the most experienced players. Designed for 2-4 players, with an average duration of just 20 minutes, Santorini is the ideal title for quick and engaging challenges. Published in 2016 by Roxley, it quickly established itself as a modern classic.

What makes Santorini a truly unique experience are its variable powers. The game introduces over 40 god and hero cards, each of which radically alters the rules and strategies available to players. These thematic powers integrate perfectly with the abstract gameplay, transforming every game into an always new and stimulating intellectual challenge. Extraordinary replayability is guaranteed by the combination of these abilities, which force participants to constantly adapt their tactics.

The simple rules of Santorini allow for immediate learning, but mastery requires cunning and foresight. Each turn is divided into two fundamental steps, making every move a crucial decision for strategic victory:

• Move: Move one of your builders to an adjacent space. You can move to the same level, go up one level, or go down as many levels as you wish.
• Build: Subsequently, erect a building level in a space adjacent to the builder you just moved. If you build above the third level, place a dome instead, removing that space from the game.

The objective is clear: the first player who manages to move one of their builders to the third level wins the game. A race against time and opponents' strategies to dominate the island.
