Description
NOTE: Pantheon Edition includes all material from the Golden Fleece expansion, as well as every promo card and many new cards. A lot of cards are revamped, reworked and rebalanced.
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. Each turn consists of 2 steps:
1. Move - Move one of your builders onto an unoccupied neighboring space that is a similar level, up one level, or down any number of levels.
2. Build - 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 one of your builders moves from a lower level to the third level, you win. Or, if your opponent cannot move, you win.
Variable player powers - Santorini features variable player powers layered over an otherwise abstract game, with many thematic god and hero powers that fundamentally change the way the game is played.

Quotes (from this video)
- This has become like a sleeper hit for me.
- It is such a good two-player deduction game is trying to figure out the sequence of asking the right questions faster than your opponent asks the right question.
- Tranquility to the Scent is still an excellent version of it.
- It's basically an auto battler, but such a clever auto battler.
- I do not think it's a forever game.
- for right now, it has managed to persevere and we'll see how long it lasts.
- both have a uh I don't want to say permanent because nothing's permanent, but permanent spot in my collection.
- another easy win.
- Jungo was definitely a hit for me.
- that was a solid one that I definitely am happy I picked up.
- Santorini Pantheon Edition and Arnuk Adventure Chest are easy wins over there
- Again, another iteration of a system I already have.
- I like it, but Lana is not my favorite game system.
- It is good to have, but if I got rid of it, it would not be the end of the world.
- If I didn't get it, I'd be fine.
- my kids like it, but my cats like it more.
- I'm uncertain of the longevity.
