Santorini is a re-imagining of the purely abstract 2004 edition. Since its original inception over 30 years ago, Santorini has been continually developed, enhanced and refined by designer Gordon Hamilton. Santorini is an accessible strategy game, simple enough for an elementary school classroom while aiming to provide gameplay Depth and content for hardcore gamers to explore, the rules are simple.

Awesome 1v1 or 2v2 This and yinsh are the best 1v1 or 2v2 player games we have. Out of 10 games for Christmas this and wildlands were played the most.My wife enjoys how quick it plays.After having it a while I’ve been shocked how much our 7y daughter and 9y daughter enjoy playing it. With them we play without the God power cards. Daddy let’s them win some times. Overall great family game too!
