I got Alhambra for Christmas!
For anyone who doesn’t recognize this game it is by Queen Games and can be played by 2 – 6 players. The games consists of tiles ( buildings ) and cards ( money ). The goal is to build the best Alhambra. Each turn you can pick up money, build, or reorganize you Alhambra. You score points by counting what you’ve built compared to you opponents as everyone has the opportunity to build Seraglios, Gardens, Arcades, Pavilions, Chambers, & Towers. You also get point for each continuous exterior wall segment ( that are randomly laid out on the tiles ). This scoring system happens randomly at approx 1/3 thru the game and again 2/3 way thru you add up your scores. Then one last time at the end of the game.
It is quick and easy games that 30 min or take less to play. Our family has fun playing and this would be a game I could recommend ( next to Heroscape of course ).
