Alhambra, the acclaimed board game that won the German “Spiel des Jahres 2003” award, is now available as an app for Android. Set in Granada during the 13th century, players engage in constructing the iconic Alhambra palace by employing master builders from Europe and Arabia. Strategic management is key, as players must hire the appropriate teams while ensuring they have the right currency to pay for their services, given that different builders accept different currencies based on their origin.
The game offers multiple modes, allowing players to compete against the computer with four difficulty levels, play locally with friends on a single device, or connect with players worldwide online. An interactive tutorial helps newcomers grasp the rules quickly, while veterans can dive straight into play against AI opponents. Players can also customize their experience by adjusting game speed and animation levels. Achievements can be earned by completing impressive builds, and players have the opportunity to climb to the top of global rankings. The game features both a classic tile view and a new isometric perspective for a refreshing gameplay experience. Whether playing for fun or competition, Alhambra promises strategic depth and engaging gameplay in its digital format.
