Santorini by Spin Master Games

Build Like A Mortal Win Like a God

Do you have what it takes to join the pantheon of winners? Build like a mortal and win like a God in the game of Santorini! Created by mathematician and educator Gordon Hamilton, this pure strategy game requires players to sharpen their wits! Everyone can gather around Santorini and face-off in a build-to-the-finish.

What's in the box?

  • 22 Bottom Blocks
  • 18 Middle Blocks
  • 14 Top Blocks
  • 18 Domes
  • 6 Builders
  • 30 God Cards
  • 1 Play Board
  • 1 Decorative Cliff

How to Play

Move, build and win – but it may not be that easy! To begin, players use their blocks and builder pieces to move into neighbouring spaces on the board. The first one to build a 3-story structure wins! Along the way, players may end up between a rock and a hard place. When divine intervention is necessary, each player can use their God card to bend or break the rules, according to their will.

Develop Strategy Skills

Facing-off against opponents in the game of Santorini is a great way for kids and adults alike to develop critical thinking! Players will need to anticipate other players’ moves and think on the spot when a God card is used! Not only fun and exciting, this game is a great way to hone analytical skill.

Fun for Kids and Adults

Simple enough for a child to grasp, but complex enough to challenge an adult, Santorini is a great option for family game night. Since players determine the level of difficulty, each game can be tailored! Kids can face off against their friends, or adults can challenge each other in this battle of pure strategy. With so much to explore Santorini is the board game fit for the Gods.

Stunning Game Set

Not just fun and challenging, the game of Santorini is as beautiful as its namesake. The picturesque board and building blocks are reminiscent of Greek architecture and are designed to make play even more enjoyable! Bring the Mediterranean into your living room with Santorini.

    14 Level 3 Building Stories
    18 Domes
    1 Cliff Pedestal
    1 Island Board
    6 Builders, in three colors
    30 God Powers cards
    1 Manual of four pages

    Some editions of the game include an Ocean Board that goes around the Cliff Pedestal, but it is not included in Spin Master edition, which is the one reviewed.

    Santorini has been around in one form or another for a few decades now, but this is an updated version of the game, one that many fans were hoping to see finally hit the market again. The quality of the components is good and parallels that of many of the other newer board games on the market that are considered to be hobbyist games. The plastic pieces are durable, well molded, and should last. The artwork has a fun, youthful chibi style.

    The manual is well done, and because the game is so simple, most of it is devoted to further unpacking the powers of the various God Power cards. The cards depict various gods and demigods of the Greek pantheon, and on of the nice features is that the powers they grant players match what that deity is known for, so Aphrodite would force the other player to always move next to one of your players, or the Minotaur would allow you to force an opponent’s Builder out of its space.

    PLAY
    While the game states it plays with people, it’s just teams of two. The more common player total is a head-to-head two. Three players is possible, but it’s a little more chaotic. Two players really is best.

    The goal is to move around the island board and construct the white and blue buildings the island of Santorini is known for. You call upon variable player powers granted you by the God Powers cards to use your skills to outwit the other player/team and get to the top of a three-story building first.

    The game is simple, with just two rules:

    While abiding by any special abilities your builder has been granted by the gods, move one of your builders into a neighboring space, either on the same level, one level up, or any number of levels down.Then build a building level immediately next to that builder you moved. On the third level, place a dome instead, which will prevent that space from being used..
    You win if you move one of your builders up to the third level.

    PRO
    + Fast play
    + Simple rules, but tough choices
    + Teachable in just a couple minutes
    + Looks beautiful as the town rises on the board, and will attract onlookers
    + God Powers cards ensure no two games play alike, so plenty of replayability
    + Appeals to a wide variety of players
    + Great price and value

    CON
    - Santorini is confrontational and has a screwage element to it that more sensitive gamers might not like
    - Unpacking and packing the game can take a little time because of the many pieces, but this is a quibble

    EXPANSION
    Santorini has an expansion that can be purchased, Golden Fleece, that adds more builder pieces, additional God Powers cards, new Hero Cards, the Ocean Board, and more. It’s a worthy upgrade for fans of the base game.

    SUMMARY
    Santorini is a new classic. Anyone looking for an alternative to chess, checkers, or other head-to-head game will find it an enjoyable choice. And it looks great too.
