Pros
- When I visited Santorini (in the off season, which was great and not crowded) I walked along the trail overlooking the caldera and the sea was more beautiful in real life than any photo/video could capture.
- Yeah, I love two-player abstracts, whether they are genuine old classics (Tafl, Mancala) or modern ones that imitate that classic feel (Thud, Tak) or entirely new ones (Santorini, Homeworlds, Hey That’s My Fish, the entire GIPF Project s...
- Not sure if it counts, but my 10 year old destroys me at Santorini.
- I visited Santorini this May and can confirm that it was not crowded.
- Santorini and Hive are excellent abstract 2 player games.
Cons
- the islands aren’t very crowded (except for santorini and mykonos)
- I’ve considered Santorini, but I’ve heard it’s very touristy.
- Santorini is a terrible 4 player game. It’s more like a 2 player game with a 4 player variant.
