Alhambra
Granada, 1278. At the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, one of the most exciting and interesting project of the Spanish Middle Ages begins: the construction of the ALHAMBRA. The best master builders in the whole of Europe and Arabia want to demonstrate their skill. Employ the most suitable teams of builders and make sure that you always have enough of the right currency. Because no matter whether they are stonemasons from the north or horticulturalists from the south, they all want a proper wage and insist on their "native" currency. With their help towers can be constructed, gardens laid out, pavilions and arcades erected and seraglios and chambers built.

In Alhambra, players are acquiring buildings to be placed within their Alhambra complex.
The money in Alhambra comes in four different currencies and is available in the open money market. The 54 buildings of six types become available for purchase in the building market four at a time; one building is available in each of the four different currencies. On a player's turn, a player may 1) take money from the open money market, 2) purchase a building from the building market and either place it in his Alhambra or reserve, or 3) engage in construction and re-construction projects with buildings that have been placed in the player's Alhambra or reserve. The game rewards efficiency, as when a player purchases a building from the market for the exact amount of money, the player may take another turn.
Players with the most buildings in each of the six building types in his Alhambra score in each of the scoring phases, and points are awarded for players' longest external "wall" section within their complex. The game ends when the building market can no longer be replenished from the building tile supply, and there is a final scoring, whereupon the player with the highest score wins.

What the community says about Alhambra
Me gustó jugarlo pero no es el juego que mejor sabor de boca me ha dejado. El precio de los edificios para construir tu Alhambra así como conseguir dinero (hay 4 tipos de moneda) depende mucho del azar, de tal forma que te tienes que ir adaptando a lo que te llegue en lugar de crear una estrategia. Tampoco entendimos por qué el número de edificios en juego de cada tipo no se correspondía con su valor. Es decir, cabría esperar menos edificios de aquellos que dan más puntos pero no es así. Por lo demás, bastante correcto y dentro de su estilo antiguo, lo encuentro muy bonito.

Se trata de construir una "Alhambra" de tal manera que puntúes más que tus contrincantes. El azar viene marcado por el uso del dinero y la aparición de las fichas de construcción. A mi juicio, ese azar evita la planificación. La estrategia va dirigida a adaptarse a lo que te va llegando y van haciendo tus contrincantes. Cambiado en la bsk, a felo, por un top race y un gran muralla china. Enviado el 8/10/10
Muchas veces jugado, pero nunca tuve uno en propiedad. Aprovechando la edicion revisada me lo regalaron por mi cumpleaños.
26€. Excelente juego familiar. Se explica en poco y tiene varias mecánicas muy interesantes para iniciar en juegos de mesa. Me ha encantado, tiene una interacción indirecta muy interesante. El puzzle de los muros es más estratégico de la que parece. No debería faltar en cualquier ludoteca, se explica fácil y se asimila muy bien. Brillante
Interesting Game about city planification against others planification, a fast game about building the city, i did enjoy the game.
