That statement right there is a good reason for you just to walk away from Alhambra. Some games are hard-core strategy, some are not and Alhambra is definitely not. It is also pretty low on the direct interaction scale. It can certainly be argued that it has indirect player interaction, but you prefer direct interaction.
Two very good reasons for you to walk away from this game.
I know players who don't like any form of direct interaction, I am not one of them, and they do like this game.
Horses for courses and all that.
