Alhambra: Big Box

Collection of the base tile-placement and currency-management game together with five expansions, all packaged in a single storage box that keeps expansions organized. Players draft currency cards to buy building tiles, place them to expand a shared palace complex, and score points through area control and set collection during scoring rounds. The included expansions add new scoring rules, special cards and actions, optional tiles, a thieving mechanic, and variable endgame conditions to modify strategy and pacing.

Big box makes this game quite versatile and variable. It worths it to have it if you play frecuently. Each module brings different look and feel.

This is a tile laying and set collection game. The idea is you collect money cards of different currencies and then spend them in spots that match their currency to purchase tiles which you add to your tableau. In the money deck there are some seeded scoring cards, which when revealed, players get points for their majorities in different colors. It's a light, fun game where there's some tension as to if you get the building you want, but you still get to build your own little city, so there's limited aggression. The expansions in the big box change the game in little ways, and they're fun to swap in and out to change things up each time. :nostar: Art and components :star: Innovative mechanics :star: Handles 5 or more players :star: Good with min or max players :star: Low time between turns :nostar: Comfortable complexity :star: Re-playability :star::star::nostar: Enjoyment
