Santorini: Zeus Edition (Kickstarter Special)

Board Game Geek Rating: 7.59. Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 8.04. This game is for 2 to 4 players and was published in 2016. It's the Kickstarter Zeus Edition of the Santorini Board Game. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign aren't included unless stated otherwise. Santorini re - imagines the 2004 edition in a non - abstract way. Over 30 years since its start, mathematician and educator Dr. Gordon Hamilton has continuously developed, enhanced, and refined it. It's a super accessible pure strategy game. Simple enough for elementary school classrooms yet deep and content - rich for hardcore gamers. The rules seem easy: each turn has 2 steps. First, move one of your builders to a neighboring space. You can move on the same level, step up one level, or step down any number of levels. Second, build a building level next to the moved builder. When building on the third level, place a dome to take that space out of play. You win if either of your builders reaches the third level. What sets Santorini apart is the seamless blend of variable player powers into a pure - strategy game. Dr Hamilton designed over 40 thematic god and hero powers that change how the game is played. We're happy to back campaigns to offer Santorini: Zeus Edition for online purchase at TheGameSteward. A good portion of your spending on this game will support new Kickstarter games.

To play Santorini: Zeus Edition, start by setting up the game board. The game is for 2 to 4 players. Each turn, you have two steps. First, move one of your builder pawns to a neighboring space. You can move it on the same level, step up one level, or step down as many levels as you want. After moving, build a building level next to the builder you just moved. When you build on the third level, place a dome instead to make that space unavailable for further play. You win the game when one of your builders reaches the third level. Remember, this is the Kickstarter Zeus Edition, and unless it's clearly stated, paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included. When you're done playing, store the game pieces in a safe place to avoid losing them. Keep the game board flat and clean to ensure a long - lasting game experience.
