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.

Very fast-paced abstract game with drafting. Simple rules, beautiful production. Not quite as amazing as it's made out to be but a very solid filler. I slightly prefer the puzzle i...view moren Sanssouci from the same designer. view less
My favorite abstract game
Im not a huge fan of abstract games but this one is done right. I havnt tried any of the other Azul games but I always enjoy playing this one with my family.
