The Roxley Games re-release of Santorini is themed after Greek villages, unlike the abstract look of the original game.

Santorini is an abstract strategy board game for 2-4 players designed by Gordon Hamilton in 1985. He published the all-white wooden version in 2004. It was republished via Kickstarter in 2016 by Roxley Games. Inspired by the architecture of cliffside villages on Santorini Island in Greece,[1] and primarily designed for two players, the game is played on a grid where each turn players build a town by placing building pieces up to three levels high.[2] To win the game, players must move one of their two characters to the third level of the town.[3]
