To play Alhambra, first set up the open money market with four different currencies and the building market with 54 buildings of six types, showing four at a time. Each player starts with an empty Alhambra complex. On your turn, you have three options. You can take money from the open money market. When buying a building from the building market, make sure you have enough of the right currency. You can either place the bought building in your Alhambra or keep it in reserve. You can also use buildings in your Alhambra or reserve for construction and re - construction projects. Remember, if you buy a building for the exact amount of money, you get an extra turn. During scoring phases, you'll get points for having the most buildings in each of the six types and for your longest external 'wall' section. The game ends when the building market can't be replenished. After that, there's a final scoring. Keep your game components in a dry and clean place to avoid damage. If the pieces get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft cloth. This game is great for family gatherings or playing with friends, so enjoy building your medieval city!
