This game became a favorite after a single play. We were familiar with the original Alhambra board game, and we thought it was good, but it's the dice version we love. An excellent balance of strategy, chance, decision making, and luck. When you add in fast-paced play, what you have is a real winner!
From the Box:
As an independent game, Alhambra - the Dice Game brings a completely new kind of fun into play as part of the outstanding Alhambra family of games.
Together with the simplest of rules, the special dice conjure up a fairytale atmosphere at the games table!
You can play this game on its own and with "Alhambra".

I am continually impressed by the simple elegance of this game. The other night, some friend came over and we decided to play a game. We hadn't played this game in months, but with only a casual perusal of the rules, I was able to refresh my memory and we played a smooth game. There is something to be said for a game whose rules are so quick to grasp, yet provides an opportunity for both luck and strategy during play. Excellent!
