Santorini

Santorini is 3D movement with god powers. Experts exploit god abilities for build-block sequences and position workers for domed win threats.

Quick winning principles

  • Build before move when blocking opponent win.
  • God powers: Athena blocks opponent build adjacent.
  • Dome on your level 3 before opponent builds level 3.
  • Two workers: one threatens win, one blocks.

Ideal strategy

  1. 1

    Build-block sequencing: if opponent can win next turn, build dome on their level 3 before moving—blocks win.

  2. 2

    God power exploitation: Athena prevents opponent build adjacent; position to block key squares.

  3. 3

    Domed worker positioning: worker on level 2 with build to level 3 = win threat; opponent must block.

  4. 4

    Two-worker coordination: worker A threatens win; worker B blocks opponent's block path.

  5. 5

    Rising tide (if used): level 1 start changes opening—build up faster.

  6. 6

    Endgame: when both have level 2 workers, build-block wins over move-up.
