Sabika

Product detailed description

On the hill of Al-Sabika in Granada, the Nasrid dynasty created one of the most impressive buildings in history, the Alhambra.

In the game Sabika, you will take on the role of one of the Nasrid nobles who participated in the construction of the towers, gardens, and palaces of this ancient monument. In addition to this honorable task, you are tasked with establishing trade routes throughout Europe and the Maghreb. These routes will provide you with enough income to be able to pay the demanding tribute imposed by the Catholic monarchs. In exchange for your work, you will receive military protection from various conflicts in the Taifas kingdom.

Sabika implements a new mechanism that integrates three interconnected rondels. Each rondel focuses on a different scenario: building the Alhambra, carving poems in its halls, and exporting goods along trade routes. All of this takes place over five epochs (rounds), and at the end of the fifth round, the player with the most prestige points wins.
