Sabika

Sabika is a complex and engaging game that takes you back to the time of the Nasrid dynasty in Granada. You'll be tasked with building the Alhambra, carving poems, and establishing trade routes, all while keeping the Sultan happy. It's a lot to juggle, but the game is beautifully designed and the mechanics are well implemented.

One of the most interesting aspects of Sabika is the three interconnected rondels. Each one represents a different scenario, and you'll need to carefully strategize your moves to maximize your gains in each area. The game also features a novel resource management system, which adds another layer of complexity and depth.

I found Sabika to be quite challenging, even with the helpful "Watch it Played" and "In a Nutshell" videos. The game requires a lot of planning and forethought, and it's not for casual gamers. But if you're looking for a rich, strategic experience with a unique theme, Sabika is definitely worth checking out.
