So if you had nine cards in your hand when a seven is rolled you would have to discard four cards. The first thing that happens is that anyone who has eight or more cards must discard half of their hand, rounded down. That’s because when a seven is rolled something special happens. You may notice that there is no seven token to be put onto the board. If you have at least five continuous roads as well as the longest road of all players you get the “Longest Road” points. Use the largest army token to keep track who has the two points at any moment. Another player would have to get to four knights in order to take those two points away from me. For example, let’s say I was the first one to get to three knights. If two players have the same amount of played knights than whoever had that amount of knights first is the one with the extra points. Once this happens for the rest of the game whoever has the most flipped up knights at a given time has two extra victory points. The Largest Army comes into effect once any player has three or more flipped up (played) knights. You can only play a single devo card during your turn and you cannot play them during other players turns. The cards names are Market, University, Library, Chapel, and Great Hall. It does not need to be played to count towards your total VPs. “It plays really, really well with two players,” promises board game enthusiast and Cartamundi tabletop games ambassador Sean Amdisen-Cooke, who adds that “it’s very accessible, so kids can also play.Victory point: This development card is never flipped over unless you have just won the game. Eric Yurko, an American Tabletop Awards committee member and game reviewer for his own site, What’s Eric Playing?, calls it his all-time favorite because the game “combines great art with very simple play.” Board game designer Rob Sparks is another fan, telling us you can “learn to play in just 30 seconds” and that the game “will have you building various domed towers its namesake island is famous for as you navigate the beautiful board.” Yurko also loves this building element, noting that “as players build up the board it mirrors the famous imagery of Santorini itself.” According to him, at the start of each game every player gets assigned a Greek god that grants them a different rule-breaking power, which makes “for a very quick and fun game” as the gods interact with each other.
