Alhambra won the prestigious Spiel des Jahres award in 2003.
And here is the reason why:
Granada, 1278. At the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, one of the most exciting and interesting project of the Spanish Middle Ages begins: the construction of the ALHAMBRA.
The best master builders in the whole of Europe and Arabia want to demonstrate their skill. Employ the most suitable teams of builders and make sure that you always have enough of the right currency. Because no matter whether they are stonemasons from the north or horticulturalists from the south, they all want a proper wage and insist on their "native" currency. With their help towers can be constructed, gardens laid out, pavilions and arcades erected and seraglios and chambers built.
In Alhambra, players are acquiring buildings to be placed within their Alhambra complex.
The money in Alhambra comes in four different currencies and is available in the open money market. The 54 buildings of six types become available for purchase in the building market four at a time; one building is available in each of the four different currencies. On a player's turn, a player may 1) take money from the open money market, 2) purchase a building from the building market and either place it in his Alhambra or reserve, or 3) engage in construction and re-construction projects with buildings that have been placed in the player's Alhambra or reserve. The game rewards efficiency, as when a player purchases a building from the market for the exact amount of money, the player may take another turn.
Players with the most buildings in each of the six building types in his Alhambra score in each of the scoring phases, and points are awarded for players' longest external "wall" section within their complex. The game ends when the building market can no longer be replenished from the building tile supply, and there is a final scoring, whereupon the player with the highest score wins.

Alhambra: Ingen forventer den spanske middelalder.
Alhambra vandt den prestigefyldte Spiel des Jahres-pris i 2003.
Og her er grunden til:
Granada, 1278.
For foden af Sierra Nevada-bjergene begynder et af de mest spændende og interessante projekter i den spanske middelalder: opførelsen af ALHAMBRA.
De bedste bygherrer i hele Europa og Arabien vil demonstrere deres dygtighed.
Ansæt de mest egnede bygherreteams og sørg for, at du altid har nok af den rigtige valuta.
For uanset om de er stenhuggere fra nord eller gartnerier fra syd, ønsker de alle en ordentlig løn og insisterer på deres "oprindelige" valuta.
Med deres hjælp kan tårne bygges, haver anlægges, pavilloner og arkader opstilles og seraglios og kamre bygges.
I Alhambra erhverver spillere bygninger, der skal placeres i deres Alhambra-kompleks.
Pengene i Alhambra kommer i fire forskellige valutaer og er tilgængelige på det åbne pengemarked.
De 54 bygninger af seks typer kan købes på byggemarkedet fire ad gangen; en bygning er tilgængelig i hver af de fire forskellige valutaer.
Efter en spillers tur kan en spiller 1) tage penge fra det åbne pengemarked, 2) købe en bygning fra byggemarkedet og enten placere det i hans Alhambra eller reserve, eller 3) deltage i bygge- og genopbygningsprojekter med bygninger der er placeret i spillerens Alhambra eller reserve.
Spillet belønner effektivitet, som når en spiller køber en bygning fra markedet for det nøjagtige beløb, kan spilleren tage en anden tur.
Spillere med flest bygninger i hver af de seks bygningstyper i hans Alhambra scorer i hver af scoringsfaserne, og point tildeles for spillernes længste eksterne "mur" -afdeling inden for deres kompleks.
Spillet slutter, når byggemarkedet ikke længere kan genopfyldes fra byggeriet, og der er en endelig score, hvorefter spilleren med den højeste score vinder.
