Alhambra: The Dice Game

Players roll dice to collect building symbols and score victory points over five rounds. Each turn a player has up to three rolls of eight dice to maximize one chosen building symbol; results are recorded on a public board so everyone can compare outcomes. After each round the top roll in each building category chooses between two buildings or a building plus a special bonus, while the runner-up takes the remainder. Scoring for majorities in each building type occurs after rounds 1, 3, and 5, and the player with the most victory points at the end wins. Optional rules allow combining counters from the larger game for added building strategy.
