u-topiaWelcome to *Santorini*! Santorini is a pure strategy game that is very easy to understand. The rules are simple. Here is an explanation of the simplest two-player game.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaTo prepare for the start of the game, each player places two workers in turn anywhere on the 5x5 square board.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaThe first player is the opponent, so the opponent placed two blue workers.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaNow it's your turn. Let's place the first worker. *Action*: Click on [red]*C4*[/red] to place the worker. [tip] Please refer to the coordinate values on the edge of the game board to control the tutorial. [red]!!! If you do not follow the instructions, the tutorial will stop. If it stops, please reload and start over from the beginning.[/red]2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaWhite is your worker. Let's place the second worker. *Action*: Click on [red]*D3*[/red] to place the worker.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaOnce the workers of each other are in place, the game begins in earnest. (Oh, and by the way, there is no difference in ability between male and female workers.)1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaEach turn consists of 2 steps: *1) Move*, *2) Build*2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topia*1) Move* Move your selected Worker into one of the (up to) eight neighboring spaces. You may [blue]*move your Worker on the same level*[/blue], [red]*step-up one level*[/red], or [blue]*step-down any number of levels*[/blue]. The space your Worker moves into must be unoccupied (not containing a Worker or Dome).3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topia*2) Build* Build a block on one of the (up to) eight available spaces adjacent to the moved worker. You can build onto a level of any height. When building on top of the third level, place a dome instead. The top of the dome cannot be moved or built.4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaIt must always be built after the move. This set of actions is mandatory.5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaThe opponent has moved, built, and finished turn. Now it's time for you to move and build! *Action*: Move the D3 worker to E4. ([red]*D3 -> E4*[/red])1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaThat's good. Next, let's build. *Action*: Build on [red]*E5*[/red]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaOkay, okay, You were able to build a block. *Action*: Click [red]*confirm*[/red] to end the turn.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaHere are the *winning conditions* for this game. If one of your Workers [red]*moves up on top of level 3 during your turn*[/red], you instantly [red]*win*[/red]! On the other hand, if you [blue]*can't "move and build"*[/blue], you are instantly [blue]*defeated*[/blue]!1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaLet's aim to build level 3 first. *Action*: Move to [red]*E4->E5*[/red]. 2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topia*Action*: Build on [red]*E4*[/red].1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topia*Action*: Again, click [red]*confirm*[/red].1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaWell done. You're already familiar with the controls! !!! (From now on, you will not have to click "confirm" in the tutorial. Don't forget to "confirm" in the actual game.)1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topia!!! (The same operation will be repeated to advance the scene.)1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaOops, it looks like opponent will be able to climb to the top of level 3 next turn. If you don't interfere, you will lose. Fortunately, your other worker will be able to sabotage it. You are lucky.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topia*Action*: C4 worker to B4. [red]*(C4->B4)*[/red]2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaBuild a dome to prevent your opponent from moving up to level 3! *Action*: Build on [red]*A5*[/red]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaYes! The opponent can no longer move up to A5 because the blue dome has been build!1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaThe opposing worker is getting closer, but this is your chance to win! [red]*Let's think*[/red]. Do you understand which workers to move and where to build in order to win? *Action*: [red]*Make the move to win on your next turn*[/red]!1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topia"*Move E5->E4*", Excellent! Then where do you want to build? *Action*: [red]*Make the build to win on your next turn*[/red].1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topia*Great move!* Next turn, you'll be able to move up on top of level 3! There is no way for your opponent to prevent it! You already understand the basics of this game!1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaYou win with this one move. *Action*: Move to [red]*E4->E5*[/red].1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topia*Congratulations!* You've met your victory condition and you've won! (one of your Workers moves up on top of level 3 during your turn)1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

u-topiaYou are now ready to play the base 2-player game! It is recommended that you play a few games with just the basic rules first. Once you get used to it, you can add optional rules and play around with them. By adding optional rules, you can expand the world of Santorini even further.
