Alhambra: Power of the Sultan

About this expansion

Alhambra: Power of the Sultan is the fifth expansion for Alhambra, offering four new modules for 2–6 players with a playing time of about 60 minutes.

Each module introduces a different way to influence building purchases, scoring, or the order in which buildings are valued. Use one module or combine several to add fresh possibilities to the base game.

• The Caravan: Special cards and markers let you increase the indicated amount of money on a card each turn and use that money to buy buildings.
• The Art of the Moorish: New tiles provide extra points based on how many buildings you have with the same value.
• The Power of the Sultan: Buy a card for 7 of the indicated color, then roll the die to mark the building shown on the card. When a new building of that color is added to the building site, you can take it even when it is not your turn.
• New Valuation Cards: At the beginning of the game, draw three tiles showing different ranking orders for buildings during the three valuations.

These modules give Alhambra players additional tools for managing money, collecting matching building values, and anticipating valuation rankings. The Sultan cards also create opportunities to claim a suitable building outside the normal turn order.

Presented at Spiel ’08 in Essen, Alhambra: Power of the Sultan expands the original game with new cards, markers, tiles, and a die. Choose the modules that best suit your game and discover new ways to shape your Alhambra.
