Travel back in time to the enchanting city of Granada in 1278, where the magnificent Alhambra begins to rise against the stunning Sierra Nevada mountains. In this captivating board game, players assume the role of master builders, each vying to create one of the most celebrated monuments of the Spanish Middle Ages.

Your journey kicks off with the recruitment of the finest craftsmen from across Europe and Arabia. It’s essential to gather the right currency to meet their demands. From skilled stonemasons in the north to expert horticulturalists in the south, each worker expects fair compensation in their native currency.

The primary goal in Alhambra is to accumulate various buildings to construct a glorious complex. With four different currencies available in the open market, your strategic decision-making becomes crucial to your success. A selection of 54 unique buildings, divided into six categories, awaits you in the building market, showcasing four at a time—one for each currency.

On your turn, you have three exciting options:

  • Take money from the open currency market.
  • Purchase a building from the market to add to your Alhambra or reserve it for later.
  • Engage in construction projects using your already placed buildings.

Efficiency is rewarded! If you acquire a building for its exact price, you’ll earn an additional turn, providing a vital edge over your competitors.

Points are scored based on the number of buildings owned as well as the longest contiguous exterior wall in your Alhambra. The game reaches its thrilling conclusion when the building market can no longer be replenished, leading to final scoring to crown the ultimate victor.

Additionally, Alhambra seamlessly integrates with Alhambra: The Dice Game, allowing for the combination of buildings and dice, creating even deeper strategic gameplay.

Are you ready to construct your architectural masterpiece and claim victory? Dive into the world of Alhambra and let the competition begin!
