Córdoba more than one thousand years ago: the most prosperous city of the age, Jewel of West, Ornament of the World, the City of the Three Cultures, capital of the independent caliphate of Al-Andalus. Culture, Arts and Sciences reached the pinnacle of an era. In creating the most significant landmarks of this old Qurtuba cty, men and women try to leave their mark on history.

Two powers compete for control over the historic city of Córdoba. Which side will prevail?

Components consist of 7 historic landmarks of the city with values 1 to 7, 1 start player tile and 2 sets of 10 cards each with powers 1 to 10.

Both players start with one set of cards and play them alternately next to one of the landmarks.

When all cards have been played, the player with the highest total power next to a landmark controls this landmark. The player with the highest total value of controlled landmarks wins the game.

Córdoba hace algo más de 1000 años: la ciudad más próspera de su era, joya de occidente, ornamento del mundo, ciudad de las tres culturas, capital del califato independiente de al-Andalus. La Cultura, las Artes y las Ciencias alcanzaron el cénit de su tiempo. En los más significativos paisajes de aquella antigua ciudad de Qurtuba, hombres y mujeres dejaron su huella en la historia.

Dos personas compiten por el control de la histórica ciudad de Córdoba. ¿De qué lado caerá la victoria?

Los componentes son 7 fichas de monumentos históricos de la ciudad con valores del 1 al 7, y ficha de jugador inicial y 2 mazos de 10 cartas cada uno con valores del 1 al 10.

Cada persona comienza la partida con un mazo de 10 cartas del mismo dorso, que irán jugando alternativamente junto a cada uno de los lugares históricos.

Cuando se han jugado todas las cartas, quien tenga la suma total más alta en sus cartas junto a un monumento, toma su control. Quien tenga la suma final de monumentos de más valor, obtendrá la victoria en la partida y en el juego de Córdoba.
