Emanuele Ornella: Palace Staff
Different servants are working in each building of the palace, trying to offer the best possible comfort.
Components
- 54 Servant tiles (7x/ 7x/ 9x/ 9x/ 11x/ 11x in colors of pavilion, seraglio/ arcades/ chambers/ garden/ tower)
- 6 Court marshals (1 of each player color)
Changes in setup
Shuffle the servant tiles face down and keep them next to the playing area. Then, draw 6 servant tiles, and place them face up next to the building market.
Each player places the marshal of their player color on their Lion Fountain tile.
Changes in game play
Whenever a player chooses the Action: Take money, and takes money which totals less than 6, they may move their marshal from tile to tile across the Alhambra.
Note: It is not allowed to take money worth 0.
Subtract the value of money taken from 6, and the player is allowed to move his marshal that many tiles.
The marshal must have access to each tile by foot, i. e. he is not allowed to cross a wall or step down from a tile.
The player gains 1 servant tile of the matching color for each tile the marshal enters, if there is no servant on that tile.
Example: The player takes 2 denari, thus may move their marshal 6 - 2 = 4 steps. They choose his path entering the garden, chambers, arcades, and tower. The player places one matching servant tile each on the garden, arcades, and tower tile from the display. Unfortunately, there is no servant available for the chambers.
Take the servant from the open display, if available, and place it on that building tile. After the player has finished their turn, they replenish the display to 6 tiles.
The tile occupied by the marshal may not be placed on the player's reserve board. Servant tiles are placed on the reserve board together with their building tile.
Changes in scoring
1st and 2nd scoring
After scoring all building types, deduct 1 point for each building from the base game (besides the Lion Fountain) in a player's Alhambra without a servant tile. A player may never have less than 0 points.
3rd scoring
Players deduct points, as above, but before leftover buildings are assigned.
