Shannon Appelcline's Summary:

A supplement for Alhambra that adds a lot of gameplay, but is a bit overpriced.

First, great review, as always.

I bought the base set of Alhambra on your recommendation and my friends and I have gotten a great deal of fun out of it.

I hope that Queen Games brings the expansions over to the States. We'd love to pick it up and encourage more of this sort of behavior.

Thanks again!

Clint,

Glad you enjoyed the review & that my recommendation of Alhambra worked for you!

I doubt the expansions are going to be published in English anytime soon, as Uberplay seems to have tailed off their relationship with Queen.

I got my Alhambra expansions at Boards & Bits, though they are a bit on the pricey side, especially with shipping:

I'm going to have to ammend my earlier reply. It looks like Rio Grande has just signed a deal with Queen Games to release multilingual versions of their games in the U.S. So, you might see them this year.

Just got an email back from Rio Grande, and they confirmed that they'll have Alhambra in distribution in April or May. (didn't say specifically about the expansions, but they're pretty good about those)
