Alhambra: Building Sites

Informazioni sul gioco

In inglese

Originally released as part of Alhambra: The Falconers but is was sold separately at Spiel 2024 as a new Queenie. The tiles have a different shape (octagon) than in the expansion (circles) but the rules remain the same. “Building sites” allow players to purchase buildings for half the cost, but the building must be finished in order to count towards majorities. Establishing a building site: The player pays at least half (rounded down) of a building tile’s cost and takes the tile. Such a purchase is never regarded as paying the exact amount. The player takes 2 building site tiles, keeping the backs hidden from other players, and chooses one of them to place on top of the building tile just purchased, with the construction side face up. The other tile is shuffled back into the stack. The player can add this building tile to their Alhambra or place it in their reserve. If added to the Alhambra, the walls on the tile count during scoring, but not the unfinished building itself. Completing an unfinished building: On their turn, a player may choose to complete the building as an action, by paying the full amount for the building in the currency shown on the back of the building site tile. After completing the building, the building site tile is removed from the game. Remember: The player can’t just pay the difference, but must pay the full amount! If the exact amount is paid, the player takes one more turn immediately. At the end of the game: Before distributing the remaining building tiles, each player must reveal each building site tile in their Alhambra and discard all money cards of the currency shown on this tile. Ignore all building site tiles in a player’s reserve. Notes • The Vizier (from the module “The Vizier’s favour”) cannot be used to set up a building site. • Camp tiles (from the module “The Camps”) and Bazaar tiles (from the module “The Bazaars”) cannot be set up as a building site.
