You must be logged in to post a review.
On the hill of Al-Sabika in Granada, the Nasrid dynasty created one of the most impressive constructions in history, the Alhambra.
In Sabika, you play the role of one of the Nasrid nobles who contributed to the construction of the towers, gardens, and palaces of this ancient monument. In addition to this honorable task, you have to establish trade routes through Europe and the Maghreb. These routes will provide you with sufficient income to be able to take on the demanding tribute that has been commanded by the Catholic Monarchs. In exchange for your work, you will receive military protection against the various conflicts of the Taifas Kingdom.
Sabika implements a novel mechanism that integrates three interrelated 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 the trade routes. All of this takes place over five eras (rounds), and at the end of the fifth round, the player who has accumulated the most prestige points takes the victory.

Essen 2022 - I love rondel games and while I think the theme in this is almost non existent I was prepared to forgive for the wheel and what looked like smooth mechanics from the demo.

Compra conjunta con Menacho, Enric, Fernando y Jordi. Jugado en La Sagrera, me gusto mucho. Hay que estar muy atento a los poemas menores y su potencialidad y a los viajes pero mucho va en función del objetivo final de partida. Muy chulo, la verdad.

It's an ok game that doesn't really match my tastes. The game objectives are too straightforward to justify the amount of obstacles you have to overcome to get there. On a different note, the iconography and font choices are just plain terrible.
