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 embody one of the Nasrid nobles who participated in the construction of 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 sufficient income to be able to accept 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: the construction of the Alhambra, the carving of poems in its halls, and the export of 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.
