Sabika (ML)

Under the sun of Al-Sabika, in the heart of Granada, the Nasrid dynasty creates one of history’s wonders: the Alhambra. In Sabika, you play as a noble overseeing the construction of towers, gardens, and palaces, while developing trade routes across Europe and the Maghreb. Manage resources wisely to pay tributes to the Catholic Monarchs and ensure your realm’s prosperity.

Sabika features a unique system of three interlocking rondels, each managing construction, poetry, and commerce. Over five eras, plan your actions, optimize your moves, and carve your name into history. Strategy lovers will find a deep and rewarding challenge here.

You’ll love Sabika if you enjoy euro-style games that reward long-term planning and clever sequencing, such as Praga Caput Regni or Golem. If rondel mechanisms and historical depth excite you, this game belongs in your collection.

Fun fact: Designer Germán P. Millán (of Bitoku fame) created Sabika as an homage to Andalusian culture, while artist Laura Bevon brings the Alhambra’s splendor to life with elegant illustrations.
