Nice review. Just one minor quibble: the tiles are indeed drawn randomly from the bag, but then they are placed on the center board in order. That's what those big "1-2-3-4" printed numbers are for! :-)

i havnt played it but sounds like something on the lines of 'ticket to ride'.

Good review, but I don't think you give the game enough credit. We discussed Alhambra on the most recent episode of our podcast. There is a link on our channel page.

Tom, this is awesome that you are reviewing the base game and the expansions. Could you please do this with the Carcassonne big box as well? I know you reviewed some of them on your website, but it would be really cool if you could do it in video form.

Great review Tom. I've had Alhambra on and off my wishlist for years. Now it's going back on. That Alhambra big box is usually quite a steal at Spiel in Essen, so I will probably just pick it up.

I didn't think it was so bad this time, but I agree that panning while zoomed in is a bad idea.

I have to concur that the big box makes a huge difference for replayability for me. I've played Alhambra more in the last month than I had in the previous two years.
I find that I like to just choose two random expansions from 1 to 20 (enter the d20) and play with those two expansions paired. That way every play is a slightly different flavor.
Some of the expansions are minor. Some have HUGE impacts on your decisions making.

nice hair cut

medsas, its that bad. Actually it makes me sad because I can no longer watch Tom's reviews. I can listen but can't watch.
I used to work for an editing house so I am very aware of camera angles and related stuff.
First of all, guys - I'll keep an eye on my panning in the future.
Secondly, I likely won't review the Carcassonne big box any time soon, since I don't have it. But I wouldn't rule it out in the future.
