About the game
These were stretch goals for Alhambra: Designers' Expansions Box. All backers received if they backed either the first or second Kickstarter for it. Bathhouses by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede: When players acquire a bathhouse from the market, they can build it in any orientation in their Alhambra. At the end of the game, players are awarded points if they build the matching buildings shown on each edge of the bathhouse in a straight line connecting to the bathhouse. The further away the building is placed from the bathhouse the more points a player gets. Wishing Well by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede: Palace Designers by Macel Süßelbeck & Marko Ruskowski:
