About the game
Satori (悟り) is a Japanese Buddhism term for awakening and refers to a full and deep experience of enlightenment. In Satori, players compete to advance on the spiritual path. For this end, you'll build new temples for the votaries to pray, get the wisest monks and contribute to build up the great pagoda to turn Koyasan in the heart of the zen Buddhism. On your turn, choose one of the available devotees at the tori and take him to a temple to resolve an action. You might get resources or resolve different actions on the temples. You can also bring your monks to the mountains which allow you to concatenate additional actions and advance on the spiritual path. The farthest player on the spiritual path will be the winner. —description from the designer

Questions and answers
Satori supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Satori is 25–100 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Satori for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Satori has a complexity rating of 3.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight game.
