Read the full game description
Alhambra: The Red Palace revisits Dirk Henn’s tile-laying classic with a richer palace landscape. Players collect four currencies, purchase matching buildings from a shared market, and fit them into individual Alhambras while preserving legal walls and pathways. Three scoring rounds reward majorities in building types and the longest exterior wall. New land tiles, gardens, wooden structures, and guard icons add tactical bonuses and occasional extra actions without losing the clean take-money, buy, or rebuild rhythm that made the original approachable.
