Dirk Henn: New Building Grounds
New buildings are available from the new building ground.
Components
- 8 Building sites
- 12 Buildings under construction (2 tiles of each building type with construction icon) (reverse side shown on the sheet)
- 4 Number tiles
Changes in setup
Shuffle the 8 building site tiles in with the other Alhambra tiles.
Place the four number tiles in a row next to the building market. Then, randomly place 3 building under construction tiles in a column under each number tile.
Changes in game play
Whenever a building site is available at the market, the active player may buy it for the price shown on it. Immediately, they choose one of the buildings under construction from the column with the matching number as the purchased tile and place it on that building site. It may be placed in the player's Alhambra or their reserve.
Example: This building site can be purchased for a price of 12 denari (blue currency). Then, the player decides if they want to build a pavilion, arcades or chambers, placing the chosen tile on top of the building site.
Changes in scoring
Buildings under construction count as any other buildings of that type.
Special rule for 2 players
If Dirk buys a building site, he takes the topmost building under construction of that column.
Rüdiger Dorn: Extensions
The players may now extend their buildings.
Components
- 1 Extension board
- 12 Extension tiles (reverse side shown on the sheet)
Changes in setup
Put the extension board next to the building market.
Shuffle the 12 extension tiles and place them face up on the spaces of the extension board.
Changes in game play
A new action is introduced:
New Action: Extend a building
The player plays three money cards of one combination as shown on the extension board. Then, the player may take one extension tile from the column of that combination.
If the total of the played money cards is less than or equal to the amount shown next to the tile, the purchase is considered matching, and the player continues their turn. Otherwise, the purchase is not matching and the player's turn ends.
Example: The player plays the combination yellow 5 - yellow 2 - green 4, and may choose from pavilion, arcades or seraglio. Continuing the example above, both the seraglio or the arcades would be a matching purchase, but not the pavilion.
A player may buy an extension tile only if they own that type of building (in their Alhambra or their reserve) or bought that type of building during this turn. The player places the extension tile on a building of that type immediately. The extension remains part of the building even when redesigning the Alhambra. A building can be extended only once.
Changes in scoring
An extended building counts as 2 buildings for majorities.
Special rule for 2 players
The players may give an extension to Dirk as a gift.
