Description

In the scenic hills of Alpujarras, a world of bounty awaits. This game, designed by Steve Finn and published in 2023, lets you take on the role of a fruit farmer, working tirelessly to grow and deliver your crops to the hillside villages. With innovative irrigation and terracing techniques, you'll bring water to the hillsides and create fertile farmlands, just like the hardworking farmers of the great Arab Agricultural Revolution. As a turn-based game for 1 to 4 players, Alpujarras promises a fun and rewarding experience that can be enjoyed in about 45 to 60 minutes. As you navigate the game, you'll move your mule around an action track, taking turns based on who's furthest behind. With each turn, you'll perform actions like placing a farmer, moving a farmer, or expanding an irrigation channel, all aimed at growing and delivering fruit to the towns, where they'll be sold for dinars. With a mix of area majority, commodity speculation, and worker placement mechanics, Alpujarras offers a engaging and challenging experience that's perfect for fans of farming and medieval-themed games. The rules are of normal complexity, making it easy for experienced board game players to dive in and start playing.
