Aldabas: Doors of Cartagena

Unlock Influence. Build Prestige. Let Your Doors Speak.

In the vibrant streets of Cartagena, Colombia, history echoes through the bold and ornate door knockers—aldabas—that once declared the power and profession of a home's occupants. Now, in Aldabas: Doors of Cartagena, you’ll step into that legacy, assembling a neighborhood of influential citizens to rise in prestige and power.

This puzzley tableau-building game invites you to construct a grid of doors, each representing nobles, clergy, merchants, and more. With every card played, you must balance clever placement and coin management to unlock powerful bonuses and chain reactions. The right neighbors can bring wealth, prestige—or unexpected challenges.
