Description
Santorini: The Riddle of the Sphinx is a co-operative expansion for Santorini that adapts the competitive experience into an ongoing adventure that players navigate together.
In this expansion comprised of a series of scenarios called "riddles", players will seek to complete tactical objectives to solve the riddles. However, if players exhaust their supply of Santorini tower pieces before an objective is completed, the riddle remains unsolved and must be played again.
Each successfully solved riddle allows players to progress on the adventure map and unlock new gods to add into future riddles.
Can you complete the full adventure and solve the riddle of the Sphinx?

Quotes (from this video)
- this is a fully Cooperative expansion for Santorini
- the one major change that they made for this game is when you build you have to build from pieces in your own Supply
- God cards come with a specific piece that you now gain onto the card and any player can build using that piece
- the objective coins will get placed on the board as soon as you complete the coin's height requirement
- it is a game of chance so there is risk with the Sphinx die
