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 into a neighboring space. You may move your Builder Pawn on the same level, step-up one level, or step down any number of levels. 2. Build - Then 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 either of your builders reaches the third level, you win. Variable player powers - Santorini features variable player powers layered over an otherwise abstract game, with 40 thematic god and hero powers that fundamentally change the way the game is played.

The dark monsters of Greek mythology have gathered for one final assault on Mount Olympus. The Greek gods are prepared to defend their sacred ground. Who will prevail in this decisive battle of blood and ichor? Ichor is an asymmetric strategy game for two players by Reiner Knizia. In this mythological battle of wits, one player controls the Greek gods while the other controls the Greek monsters. On your turn, you move one of your figures in a straight line as far as you wish, leaving behind a trail of your tokens on each space you pass over. You can never move onto or over a space containing another figure, but you can replace opposing tokens with your own. The first player to get all of their tokens on the board wins. Each figure possesses a unique ability that can be used only once per game. Thus, the winner will be the one who best leverages their abilities, sets themself up for big plays, and blocks their opponent from doing the same. Compete head-to-head in this strategy game with asymmetric character abilities. Maneuver your characters around the board, block your opponent, and race to place all of your tokens on the spaces you move over. Activate each unique, one-time-use character power at the opportune moment to gain the upper hand in the battle. Enjoy a variable board setup and simple gameplay with tough decisions on every turn. Contents: Double-sided board, 16 figures, 20 cards, 38 wood tokens, rulebook.
