In Granada, one of the most impressive building projects of the Middle Ages has begun: the construction of Alhambra. A palace, fortress, and a small city -- all-in-one -- Alhambra is made up of the world’s most beautiful gardens, pavilions, chambers and towers.The most prominent builders in all of

Europe and Arabia want to demonstrate their skills in building Alhambra. Employ the most talented teams of builders to construct your Alhambra. Hire stonemasons from the north and gardeners from the south, who all want a fair wage and insist on being paid with their native currency. With their help, towers can be constructed, gardens designed, pavilions and mezzanines erected, and manors and royal chambers built. Compete against your opponents to build the greatest and most impressive Alhambra.

This BIG BOX contains the basic game and all 5 expansions. The box liner is designed to hold all the expansions separately for easy access and after-game storage.

I took the plunge and ordered this set having never played the game before. This is a cracking game which requires a deft touch. The idea is to plan and build your own 'Alhambra' by gathering currency, buying buildings and re-designing your Alhambra. Scoring for what is held in your Alhambra occurs 3 times during the game. Buying a building with the exact money allows you to 'have another go' and continue your turn, a key tactic to victory. An added complication is how you position your newly purchased buildings, not as easy as it looks. Walls and the orientation of the buildings means you are not guaranteed to position you newly purchased buildings unless you have planned well. The expansions that come in the 'Big Box' look interesting and will provide variety. Impressive art, parts and wooden tokens. A nice set, highly recommended.
