Medina is a German-style board game designed by Stefan Dorra and published by Hans im Gluck and Rio Grande Games in 2001. In the game, three to four players complete to be the most influential developers of Medina, a desert city in near the Atlas Mountains in 1822.

Game play
The gameboard depicts a 16x11 grid of squares representing the city. Each edge is lined by rectangles where the wall of the city is to be built and each corner is labelled with one of the numbers one through four. In a four-player game, each player receives a number of pieces: 5 building pieces in each of four colors, 3 stable pieces, 6 inhabitant pieces, 8 wall pieces, and 4 dome pieces. Only the dome pieces correspond to the proprietary color of the player. In turn, players place two of their pieces on the board; the game ends when no player can make a legal play, at which time the player with the most points is declared the winner.

Pieces are placed and scored as follows:

Building places may be placed on any open space on the board. However, if a building already exists on the board, other pieces of that color must be attached to that building, unless a player has claimed that building as their own by topping it with one of their domes. Distinct buildings cannot be built such that they touch each other in any way. Each player scores one point for each building piece in each of their buildings and a bonus of one to four points for having the largest building in any given color. Players can have only one building in each color.

Stables may be added to any building on the board including a building already topped by dome. Stables count for scoring as if they were a building section in all ways, including for determining the largest building in a color.

The first inhabitant may be placed anywhere on the board. Thereafter, inhabitants must be built in a continuous line with no branches or loops. A player scores one point for every inhabitant that borders each of the pieces in any building they have claimed.

The wall sections may be placed in wall spaces in a straight, uninterrupted line emanating from any corner space. Each wall section touching a building earns the owner of that building one point. Further, the last player to touch a sequence of wall pieces with one of their buildings earns a number of points equal to the value of the corner that that wall emanates from.

Players may only pass if they have no legal moves, meaning that moves benefiting other players must be made if no other legal moves exist. The score is tallied at the end, meaning that changes in ownership of wall bonuses or building size bonuses have no bearing on the final score.
