Merge arcades, seraglio, chambers, towers to a separate Alhambra - that makes joy!

Spain, Granada, each of 2-6 players is the medieval builder and adds pavilions, seraglio, arcades, apartments, gardens, towers an ever bigger and more beautiful expectant Spanish mountain castle together, the famous "Alhambra". You collect money in the four currencies denars, dirhams, ducats and florins, then buy yourself fit as possible one or more buildings cards and must observe only two rules when applied to your Alhambra: All parts of the building must have free access to the fountain in the middle. When you create should gradually emerge after a long as possible, contiguous outer wall; brings afterwards in the three votes the decisive points for your eventual victory.

The "Game of the Year 2003" I played games for about 10 years always enjoy in various Games, did it also very often given away and always learn only positive reactions of the recipient:
+ Alhambra is brilliantly simple; the short, clear rules of the game will help that you can start playing right away.
+ Alhambra has a little luck factor (which is part of any good game for me to do so), high strategy and planning factor, and a very high fun factor - I've never experienced players in this game in 10 years, who were really unhappy or annoyed ,
+ As in any case, even in front of a self-a beautiful, colorful Alhambra grows and brings points, it does not so much from losing - a beautiful building located in front of a, what more could you want?
+ Alhambra has each a very different character when it two or three plays (big Alhambra complexes are formed) or when it's fifth or sixth plays (there is a scramble for the building tile, and often grabs a a front man exactly the most appropriate component away). Both have their charm.
+ There are a lot of extensions; who once forfeited the appeal of the game, can bring through the various extensions interesting variations into play. I myself really like the masons' guilds, the exchange offices, the bonus cards and the diamonds.
+ Alhambra you can play well with young and old, game experts and casual players. A novice can help a little and give advice; but the application itself creates really any. After 50-60 minutes the game ends.
+ I can give this game a single minus sign; it belongs to me next Stone Age, Finca, Bluff, Las Vegas, Fresco, Village and most recently "Abluxxen" to the "all time greats" that I will probably play a lifetime like.
