Description
Introduced by the Moors, azulejos (originally white and blue ceramic tiles) were fully embraced by the Portuguese when their king Manuel I, on a visit to the Alhambra palace in Southern Spain, was mesmerized by the stunning beauty of the Moorish decorative tiles. The king, awestruck by the interior beauty of the Alhambra, immediately ordered that his own palace in Portugal be decorated with similar wall tiles. As a tile-laying artist, Azul brings you to embellish the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora.
In the game, players take turns drafting colored tiles from suppliers to their player board. Later in the round, players score points based on how they've placed their tiles to decorate the palace. Extra points are scored for specific patterns and completing sets; wasted supplies harm the player's score. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Great short but strategic game to play late at night when you're not quite ready to go home--it doesn't tax the mind too much but requires some planning (which is easily thwarted by an opponent picking the colorful patterned tile set you had your eye on). Each game is a little different and challenging enough to keep coming back to this over and over.
I've played Azul quite a few times and I still enjoy bringing it to the table. My favorite moments are when you have to choose between taking the tiles you need and denying something important to another player. The rules are easy to learn, but a bad decision can come back to haunt you a few turns later.
Abstract strategy Masterpiece of drafting and tile placement approachable by anybody.
Joli jeu, avec des petites tuiles à piocher et à aligner pour gagner. C'est très visuel. La partie est assez courte, ça reste fun
I like the mechanics, but I don’t think the tiles are pretty. Master Chocolatier edition was a prettier game, and a better game in my opinion, where not being able to complete patterns felt less frustrating. I don’t like that they made that version limited.
