Queen Games Alhambra: Revised Edition Board Game

Product Information

When not at the gaming table, you can find him wearing short shorts and carrying a weighted rucksack for miles on end. It does cost a little more, but it’s going to provide you with a lot more variety and replayability over the years ahead. So, if one player has three purple tiles in their Alhambra, and the others have less tiles of that colour, that player gets the points for purple. But once you’ve placed your tile, you can’t move it somewhere else, so it’s all too easy to box yourself in with too many walls, or walls extending in the wrong direction.

Alhambra (board game) - Wikipedia

The 3rd round of scoring takes place at the end of the game; points are then also awarded to the players with the third highest number of buildings of each kind as shown in the example and on the points table on the tile reserve board. However, camps must be separated from the city by a wall, and may not be adjacent to each other if there is a wall in the way. A player may play a thief card between turns (except before their own turn) and take a currency card matching the type of thief card played.

A video game version was being developed by Vivendi Games for the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade, but was cancelled due to "unforeseen difficulties". The remaining building tiles from the building market are given to the players who have the most money of the respective currency in their hand. It’s perfect to bring to the table when you are in the mood for a lighter game, or if you have friends over who you want to introduce to the world of hobby board gaming. The art on the cards is equally functional in terms of giving you the information you need quickly, but don’t do much else, unfortunately. Because no matter whether they are stonemasons from the north or horticulturists from the south - they all want a proper wage and insist on their "native" currency.
