Queen Games Alhambra: Revised Edition Board Game

Product Information

Alhambra fulfills its role as a very light game that gives you the enjoyment of constructing a building without a complicated rules set or long game length. Leave this one on the shelf when your hardcore Euro-playing friends come over for game night, or if you have a gaming group that is interested in innovative mechanics or immersive theme. Once you get the hang of the rules, a 2-3 player game can be easily completed in under an hour, which is definitely a selling point. Each new tile must be joined to your Alhambra by at least one side (i.e. it cannot be joined just at a corner). Redesign their Alhambra – move a building tile from their reserve board to their Alhambra or from their Alhambra to their reserve board, or swap one tile from their reserve board with one already in their Alhambra. Personally, there are certain modules that I would always include like Change and The Workers Huts. These are easy to understand, simple to set-up and don’t really impact on game length. On top of these, it’s probably worth adding a further three or four modules. Any more than that and the game becomes over-complicated and unwieldy.

The City Walls is a useful tool for fixing holes in your city wall. This can be particularly beneficial later in the game.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. The Portals: portals offer players new ways to build their walls and gain even more victory points for them, especially if they are part of their longest contiguous wall.

This one requires patience as the more you play, the better you get at making those decisions. I personally find the scoring system a little frustrating, as it’s all too easy to be caught out with too few of certain colours, and unless you score consistently well on every round it’s easy to be left behind by other players.Category Board Games Tags Alhambra, Dirk Henn, Queen Games, Spiel des Jahres SKU ZBG-QUE60373 Availability You can exchange a building tile on your reserve board for one in your Alhambra.
