Catalogue information
The players are humble sheiks who have been summoned by the Caliph to build a new capital in the desert. From the start they compete for power in the fast-growing city. Each player starts with the same number of building pieces. Soon building is going on everywhere. Impressive palaces with extensive stables are erected to take care of the camels of wealthy trading caravans. All around the city wall is being built, which is interrupted by four gates. In the narrow streets between the palaces, a kasbah quickly emerges: the traditional market, which will bring trade and prosperity because it attracts townspeople. Anyone who builds the city wall can be appointed as a tower keeper, and anyone who enters a palace on time will in any case receive a reasonable score. The smartest builder can call himself Prince of Medina afterwards. Three or four players build a typical Arabian city together by placing beautiful wooden game pieces on a central game board. In the end, a beautiful 3-dimensional city view is created over and over again.
