Description

Artfully embellish the walls of your palace by drafting the most beautiful tiles. 

2-4 Players  |  30-45 Mins  | Ages 8+

Features: End Game Bonuses, Open Drafting, Pattern Building, Tile Placement, Turn Order: Claim Action

Themes: Abstract Strategy, Puzzle, Renaissance

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, you have been challenged to embellish the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora.

In the game Azul, 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.

The new edition includes the first player token made of resin.

  • High quality components and fun, accessible gameplay
  • Fun tile drafting and tile placement mechanics
