Watch “Brian's Got Game - Santorini,” a board game review for Santorini from Brian's Got Game on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Brian's Got Game on YouTube:
Brian takes a look at Santorini by Dr. Gordon Hamilton and published by Roxley Game Laboratory. Santorini is an abstract strategy game at its core with an adorable theme. With art by the duo known as Mr. Cuddington, this game brings tons of charm.
In Santorini, players move a pawn and then build a block with the goal of getting your pawn on top of the third level of blocks. Meanwhile, your opponent can block you by putting a dome on top and the result is nice little replica of the island of Santorini with its white buildings and blue domes.

About Santorini, from BoardGameGeek:
Santorini is a re-imagining of the purely abstract 2004 edition.
Santorini is an accessible strategy game, simple enough for an elementary school classroom while aiming to provide gameplay depth and content for hardcore gamers to explore. Santorini features variable player powers layered over an otherwise abstract game, with 40 thematic god and hero powers that fundamentally change the way the game is played.
The rules are simple. Each turn consists of 2 steps:
1. Move - move one of your builders into a neighboring space. You may move your Builder Pawn on the same level, step-up one level, or step down any number of levels.
2. Build - Then construct a building level adjacent to the builder you moved. When building on top of the third level, place a dome instead, removing that space from play.
If either of your builders moves up to the third level, you win.
