Santorini Board Game

Network multiplayer is just a crap! Crashes, no connects, pity((

I was wrong! My mistake... The best board game ever!

The board game is awesome and this app is good as it is a perfect way to play the game in a highly portable variant, vs a friend (local or remote) or a AI or an Internet opponent. It also has some companion/helper features for the real board game. The app has a lot of irritating UI/UX flaws though, first of which is that none of the help/tutorial buttons work (I guess, the should open some video(s)? I only see an infinite hourglasses). Most screens/menus/transitions are inconvenient or even misleading. With some difficulties I was able to find a short rules text inside and that is the only help that works, together with a simplest controls tutorial. The same way (i.e. by continually trying every button I saw in order) I was able to find a campaign mode (it’s called Odissey and looks like it is some kind of alternative to a local play when you look at the menu). Having spent a lot of effort to make sure the gameplay is functional I think I will be able to live with that and will buy the full Pantheon, but I have to say that I was very doubtful about that in the first hour or two of tryings to figure out what is where.

This app is a near-flawless implementation of the fantastic board game on which it is based. It is beautiful and elegant. I have played the app off and on for years, and I still find new things to learn. Santorini is a much deeper and more nuanced game than many given it credit for. Minus 1/2 star because I have occasional crashes, which are frustrating. Minus 1/2 star because there is no random player order. I hate resetting a match just to change start order. Please add a random first player option!

An excellent digital implementation for my favorite game. The amount of detail surprises me (especially for a board game app). I don’t play online, but it’s a great way to pick gods (and regulate matchups as it doesn’t select banned matchups) or pass the time against the AI when I’m not playing the actual game with friends. There is so much to explore and so many ways to play this really simple yet insanely deep game 10/10 give it a try!

The app has a beautiful interface. The game is simply fantastic. however, the app crashes every once in a while, when I’m playing an opponent—one of my friends—online. If that could be fixed, and if they added a save mode, so you could play the same match throughout the day, rather than having to finish the game right away when you start (if you leave the app for longer than 20 seconds or so, it kicks you out and ends the match), this app would be perfect!

First match is you playing Minotaur against Artemis. Not impossible, but much harder than most random matchups of gods. If you prefer a fun game that gradually scales up in difficulty, stay away!

I am obsessed with the board game. I burnt my husband out on it though so I had to download it on my phone and play against the AI to quench my addiction. Unfortunately the game keeps crashing, usually when the game is only a few moves from completion. It's incredibly frustrating. I've tried restarting my phone, closing all apps, etc. I don't know what to do to fix it but it's very frustrating.

Purchased this game today and the tutorial won’t load. Feel like I wasted my money.

The hourglass just keeps going round & round. I left iPad for 30 min & it was still doing that upon my return. What gives?
