What is Santorini?
Santorini is a modern abstract strategy game designed by Gordon Hamilton in the 1980s and published in its iconic 3D 'island' form by Roxley Games in 2016. Two to four players take turns moving one of their workers one square and then placing a building block on an adjacent square. First worker to stand atop a level-three building wins. Optional god-power cards add rich asymmetric variety.
