Alhambra Wins Spiel des Jahres

Alhambra, a tile-laying game designed by Dirk Henn, has won the 2003 Spiel des Jahres award as Germany's Family Game of the Year. Alhambra is an interesting city-building game in which you have to decide each turn whether to buy a piece to add to your city or collect more money for future purchases. Players score for having a majority in any of the kinds of tile, and for their longest city wall.
