Alhambra
Build the most magnificent Alhambra to be crowned the winner!
In Granada, one of the most impressive building projects of the Middle Ages has begun: the construction of the Alhambra.
A palace, fortress and a small city all in one, the Alhambra is made up of the world’s most beautiful gardens, pavilions, chambers and towers.
Compete to construct the biggest and best Alhambra. Everyone gets a starting tile and some starting currency. Draw four building tiles to the supply board, and four money cards (valued 1 to 9). Each turn, either take one money card, take several cards of total 5 or less, or buy a building tile for its indicated cost. Each tile is next to a symbol showing the currency in which payment must be made. End a turn by placing any purchased tile, then replenish the tiles and money.
Tiles come in different colours and show up to three wall segments. When they’re depleted, play ends. Score for having the most, second-most, or third-most of a tile type, and for each tile edge belonging to your longest wall. The player with the most points wins!
