Casbah (2004)

About this game

Players first draw from a pool of tiles and then try to construct a Casbah (Arabian house) according to the rules and tiles. Each square tile shows internal doors or windows or garden, so only internal doors can meet, whereas windows can face onto the street for example. Crude graphics do evoke the desert village and players can make the game more or less difficult as they like.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
